“Hello to all of our Disneyland® Resort Passholders!”As many of you have heard, I have just returned to SouthernCalifornia as president of the Disneyland® Resort. Like manyof you, my excitement and passion for The Happiest Place onEarth began when my parents brought me to the Park when Iwas a child. I remember eating popcorn on Main Street, U.S.A.,meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time, and never wantingto leave. That first trip—and all of the trips that followed withmy parents, friends, and now with my own family—createdmemories that I will never forget. And that, after all, is what theDisneyland® Resort is all about. After meeting hundreds of CastMembers and Guests throughout my first couple of weeks, Ican’t tell you how excited I am to be here and how proud I amto be part of this team.As you are aware, the past year has been an incrediblyexciting one at the Disneyland® Resort with the openings ofBuena Vista Street, Cars Land, and most recently, FantasyFaire. We’ve also been working to enhance your Passholderexperience through Limited Time Annual Passholder Magicwhich will give you even more opportunities to create lifelongmemories with your friends and families.Michael Colglazier,President, Disneyland® ResortMore Limited Time Annual PassholderMagic means more reasons thisis the best year ever to be anAnnual Passholder!On behalf of all of the Cast Members at the Disneyland®Resort, thank you for being part of our family.
