More piccies to follow ...
Wow great pics so far, nice to see the comparisons, look forward to seeing more Clarebelle. I have to say I think the castle looked far more festive at the 5th than the 15th.

Well you definatly knew it was a celebration, you could see it everywhere around the park!
thats the first time i have ever seen a picture of the castle at 5 years, and i am soo sorry to say i really dont like it. i love the castle with the candles, but i think the decorations on the 5th anniversary look tacky to me (IMHO)sorry if that upsets anyone

I think I like the 5th because it is really different, whereas the candles don't make much of a difference to the castle but I also think the castle is beautiful in it's normal form anyway.:)

Does anyone have any pictures of the 10th anniversary, we were supposed to go, but I was in hospital so we had to cancel :-(

They didn't really do much for the 10th anniversary, they put up a sign with "10" on the castle like the 5th and 15th but took it down the next day i think. They were more focused on the studios which opened the same year.

It's such a shame that the geysers no longer work. :( I would love to see them working again one day; I've only seen them working in videos and pictures.

Me too! I can remember when I was little going on the mark twain and waiting for the best but (the Geysers)
on my first trip back as an "adult" neither boats were operating :-(
when we went back this year I was so excited :D/ to see them work, and I just stood there waiting and waiting ... I'm still waiting!!!!!!
Has anyone noticed the water levels in Dlrp, Lake Disney, Sleeping beauty's castle's moat and BTM all have significantly less water!!? has there been a drought or can't Disney afford thier water bill?
Also what happened to the splash on BTM?

The splash on Big Thunder Mountain is something else I've never seen working. Also, there's the waterfall on Big Thunder Mountain's first lift hill - I haven't seen that working for a long time now. :?

Isn't the splash effect only working in summers, i think i can remember that last year when i was on BTM in the summer the effect was working i think.
I like the 15th castle so much more than the 5th, far more classic, tasteful and understated imo! Although I'm guessing they did the castle up like that for the 5th to kind of coincide with The Hunchback of Notre Dame parade, make it more jester-ish?? I think the 1st anniversary makeover is a little tacky too, no offence to anyone who likes it!!
I was three at the 5th anniversary! The first time I'd ever been to disney, and I loved it!
But, I dont remember much about the castle, and now that I look at it, I do think it look a little tacky. Nice, especially for kids, but too many colours.
Hard to believe disneyland paris is only 3 years older than me!
I remember watching the opening ceremony on TV when I was 7 (I taped it but I've since lost the video :cry: ) 15 years later I never thought it would still be here, especially as lots of people had a downer on the park when it first opened. The castle makeovers have only got better with time though! :)

Well they were working the last time I went and the time before that.. :shock:
Mind you, the last time was Halloween 2007 and the time before that was May 2007... :)

I actually quite liked the 5th anniversary castle, was very different and went well with the Hunchback of Notre Dame theme :) The 1st one looks kinda cool as well but i've only seen it from that pic in the link Kristof posted.
You're thirteen too?
Quote from: "MinniesBestPal"You're thirteen too?
No 14 :P Was 3 when i first went, doesn't time fly :)

From what i know Javey there was nothing done to celebrate WDS 1st and 5 anniversary. Shame really :( I heard somewhere they were going to put a giant birthday hat on the earfel tower for the 5th anniversary but i think it was just a rumour :P

Your welcome!
I love this thread! I wish I had seen the castle with the different decorations. Sucks that it took me more that 10 years to return to dlrp! *kicking myself*
just found this video on youtube, its not mine, and i dont know if it s an official dlrp video, but I rather liked it

Awww! I love Donald being followed by all the ducks!
Love the photos. Never seen the other castle birthday decorations before......boy are they tacky looking. I remember thinking they didnt do much to the castle for the 15th, but now Im glad they went for the more classy look.
There´s a wonderful video of the 5th birthday:
:arrow: //http://www.dlrpfans.be/forum/index.php?autocom=ineo&showarticle=49
Including the castle deko and the main street deko, the good morning main street parade and the little Hunchback Parade and the old disney village.
I must say I loved the 5th castle and I loved the 1th castle. It all simply depends on time. I remember that everyone was very impressed by the castle at this times. It was always the right and perfekt castle for the actual birthday (except the 10th). Without ANY complains (even the toilettes were clean and nice :P :mrgreen: )
Today it may look not very in time or modern/magical but in this times it was the perfect thing. (Oui oui, la mode!)
The 5ths was just a big party at every part of the park with many banners in every corner. And all around the hunchback of notre dame (carneval of fools). And I had one of the best times in my life at this big party.
The 1th was also very impressive cause you stand in front of this big cake and you couldn´t believe that someone could let such things happen. It was out of the possibilities of any theme park at this time.
And the 15th is just a very classy festival. It´s more a high class dinner party but I like(d) it too so much because it was again the right thing at the right time.
