Seems Disney always has something to celebrate, and May 5th marks the start of an 18-month bash in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the opening of Disneyland. The festivities, however, aren't confined to Anaheim. Disney World has major new attractions, drawn from Disneylands around the world; Disney Cruise Lines and Disneyland Tokyo and Paris are celebrating too; and Hong Kong Disneyland is due to open Sept. 12 2005.
