Yoo Hoo... Carol!
CK> I just read on the Internet Usenet newsgroups rec.arts.disney.parks and
CK> alt.disney.disneyland that the run of Main Street Electrical Parade at
CK> Disneyland, originally set to end October 15, has been extended.  The
CK> parade will go on hiatus after October 15 (and three private parties that
CK> same week) to resume November 1-25.  Its last performances will be the
CK> Monday after Thanksgiving weekend.  The extension is due to what 
Disneyland
CK> spokespeople say is unprecedented interest in the parade, which has run 
t
CK> Disneyland for about 24 years.  There have been record-setting crowds at
CK> Disneyland the past several weekends as people try to cram into the park 
to
CK> see the parade one last time and massive traffic tie-ups on the Anaheim
CK> city streets and freeways leading to Disneyland.
Not just record-setting crowds ... they have actually had to close the gates
and NOT allow any more guests in. The situation has been so severe, that the
electronic freeway signs that indicate traffic problems in various parts of
Southern California have been sporting "Disneyland Closed" instead of the
usual traffic updates.
As you all know, I practically live in the shadow of DL (OK, so I'm 10 
inutes
away), and the whole situation is getting major press coverage on all our TV
news reports.
BTW, it has only happened ONCE before that the park had to close it's doors 
o
guests because they had capacity crowds and couldn't handle any more.
How's little Meecelet?
