Post by: Owain on April 20, 2007, 11:07:34 PM

I thought this would be a cool topic to see your photos of Disneyland Paris from the 5th anniversary in comparison to the latest 15th Anniversary !

Well to start it off heres pictures of the 5th aniversary when i went, at the time i was 4 and my sister was 2! ;

Oh, as soon as I find my pictures from 1997 I'll post them, too. I remember it was the Disneyland stay I enjoyed the most. I was 8 back then.

I think, the 5th anniversary castle was a nightmare, but the gigant WDW 25 birthdaycakecastle was worse. I've seen both. Very scary. :shock:
:wink:

nice pictures.

When most Disney parks do something special (like decorating the castle etc.) doesn't really look too good, or nobody notices it (50th WDW + DLR).

DLP though really have pulled out all the stops and it's not hard to guess why the place is decorated :P

I don't know I actually rather am fond of the Castle of Fools, but still it's nice to see simplistic designs these days for the castle's anniversary. However when I say simplistic I do not mean it was great for them to place a plaque reading 10 on the castle in 2002 and leave it there for a couple of days then take it down :roll: .

1997 wa sthe year they released the hunchback of Notre Dame movie, so yes, it was all themed into the same setting.

Personally, I liked it very much back then, even though this year's decorations really do amaze me... I don't think I've seen a logo from DLP that was stylistically any better than what they have now...

Just bought the new pin that came out yesterday with the logo, and it's really VERY nice... Looks really classy and more "quality" compared to what they did in the past.

Somehow I get the feeling management is finally getting that there IS a difference in an American and a European audience :)

i think it was great, on the same rating as the 15th for me :D :D . was that the year they had those crazy bells you could go in and press the buttons and it would make a note.

i think the 15th are so much more classy than the 5th :ears:

i love how they have stuck to a blue and gold colour scheme the 5th colours look all over the place very tacky and circus like :ears:

just shows what a long way disneyland has come in 10 years :!:

I agree, but when you say circus like, thats exactly what they were going for! Its the Castle of Fools, a pun on The Festival of Fools from Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was the latest release at the time. So I reckon they would be pleased with your comment :lol:

Exactly!

Also - I don't think you should ever "compare" such two events... People change, things change, the world changes!!!
What is hot in design now wll probably be old-fashioned or ugly ten years from now... In the old days, people with pale skin were very fashionable because that was a sign that they didn't have to work on the fields in the sun, and thus must have been very rich. now, people even pay to get some tan...

I honestly believe that at the time, the decorations for the 5th anniversary wee pretty nice, especialy if you put them into perspective of the release of the hunchback - it was really festive... (Of course, I was 10 years younger than I am now ;) )

I just on't believe you should compare them in today's era, as of course the decorations of today will seem a lot nicer than what they had ten years ago... I would never buy one of those white computers anymore; today it's all black :) :) :) Ten years ago the white was very hot :)

I like the 5 years castle too. It was a very diffrent event. I remember all the park was a huge fools-ship with all the decoration the very colourful events and the fools castle in the center. It was great at the time and I´ve had a lot of fun there! But I also like the 1th birthday :lol:

I was very disapointed about the 10th birthday event.

The 15th birthday event it great for the time when it happen! Hope in 10 years it always will be!

I liked the castle decoration during The festival of fools, but this years castle decoration blew me away, It's so beautiful u can feel the love, and all the work that peaple have put in Disneyland Resort Paris. I have to say, guys, it's a job verry,verry well done. Who agrees with me?

I can hardly remember the 5th anniversary because i was only 3 :P But we've got a few pictures of them in a big photo album which has photos from every year we've been to DLRP. I'll try a dig it out and put the 5th anniversary pictures on sometime.

I didn't liked the 5th anniversary castle. Don't know, but for me it was too colourful. But the Parade they had was very cool. I very much prefer all the decoration and the castle of the 15th.
