I attended the 30th Birthday party. I remember standing outside the gate in the middle of the night waiting for the park to open. I remember seeing Animotion at Videopolis (interesting that the flyer was still calling that area the Small World Meadows) and I remember leaving in the afternoon before Ronald Reagan showed up to give his speech (I don't think that was announced in advance).
While I’m at the beach on the French Riviera for the next few days please enjoy these “rebroadcast” posts from 2008. Magazine Monday will return with a new post this Monday.

July 17, 1985. Disneyland had a neat logo for its 30th Anniversary. From the looks of the ticket, they went for a 24 hour party this time; I suppose 30 hours would be just too long.
The official invitation. Sister Sledge and all kinds of food for the 12:01am to 8:00am party goers. You “regular” people don’t get to enter the park until after the special meals are served.
A couple of Gift-Giver tickets. The first one was guest number 246,524,591. WOW that’s a lot of people! The second ticket is a blank, and obviously not a winner.

Remember to take your beret OFF before you swim. Otherwise you'll stand out as a tourist.
