In this special calendar issue of BACKSTAGE PASS: A tribute to the classic attraction posters of Walt Disney Imagineering, plus two exciting new additions to Fantasyland in Disneyland® Park! “Hello to all of our Disneyland® Resort Passholders!”
As many of you have heard, I have just returned to Southern
California as president of the Disneyland® Resort. Like many of you, my excitement and passion for The Happiest Place on Earth began when my parents brought me to the Park when I was a child. I remember eating popcorn on Main Street, U.S.A., meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time, and never wanting to leave. That first trip—and all of the trips that followed with my parents, friends, and now with my own family—created memories that I will never forget. And that, after all, is what the
Disneyland® Resort is all about. After meeting hundreds of Cast Members and Guests throughout my first couple of weeks, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be here and how proud I am to be part of this team. As you are aware, the past year has been an incredibly Michael Colglazier, exciting one at the Disneyland® Resort with the openings of President, Disneyland® Resort Buena Vista Street, Cars Land, and most recently, Fantasy Faire. We’ve also been working to enhance your Passholder experience through Limited Time Annual Passholder Magic which will give you even more opportunities to create lifelong memories with your friends and families.
More Limited Time Annual Passholder Magic means more reasons this is the best year ever to be an Annual Passholder!
On behalf of all of the Cast Members at the Disneyland® Resort, thank you for being part of our family. And if you see me in the Parks, please stop me to say hello. I would love to thank you in person.
On the Cover: Poster Art of the Disney Parks Since the 1950s, the artists of Walt Disney Imagineering have been capturing the wonder, excitement and imagination of Disney Parks attractions in a series of fun and colorful posters. In this special issue of Backstage Pass, we celebrate these delightful works of art with a selection of images featured in the new book from Disney Press, Poster Art of the Disney
Parks (available at the Disney Gallery in Disneyland® Park). We hope they add a touch of Disney magic to each and every one of your days this year!
