I know that Disney is really pressing hard to get everything all spiffed up for the big anniversary celebration on May 5.

Why May 5 instead of July 17 (the real anniversary date)?

The celebration for the 50th Anniversary starts on May 5. In fact, Disneyland will be closed on May 4 to put the finishing touches on everything, and I guess set up special displays, etc.

The official date for Disneyland's 50th Anniversary is indeed July 17. But if they started the celebration on that date, then that would cut out some profit earning months of May, June, and half of July. I'm sure the celebration festivities will be a big draw for Disney, and they want to start those festivities as early as possible. And I believe the celebration runs through November.

When I called and asked about the re-opening date of the Enchanted Tiki Room, I also asked if there would be something special going on at Disneyland on July 17. The Disney cast member said that indeed there would be, but it was still in the planning stages and hadn't been finalized yet. They said check back in March, and they should know by then what the special events for July 17 would be.
