Re: "Captain EO" Will Return to Disneyland-Update pg26. Bound for Toyko (threads merged)
Got to see Captain EO a little over a week ago. I still knew every word by heart, which was so fun! And so was all the awesome 80s-ness of it all, including the preshow. It was a packed theater, and it was all love for Michael from the moment the lights dimmed until they came back up. That made it so much more special than it already was. Fun!!!
I went to Disneyland prepared to spend some money on EO merchandise, and, no doubt, I exceeded my expectations (and budget!). LOL I bought the jacket, the black t-shirt with the EO logo and the button. If I were made of money I would have bought all of it. I wanted the retro white sweatshirt, but I restrained myself. The jacket was my must-have. They didn't have a price on any of the jackets (which are chained to the display). If you want to buy one, you have to go to a cashier, and they will get one out of the back for you. So I didn't even know the price until I was about to pay. I was a little shocked when the cashier told me the jacket was $170. But I just told myself that I had to have it and that I would regret it if I didn't get it. So far, I'm totally loving my decision.
And as if I didn't already (and always) want to go back to Disneyland, I saw this today from Disney:
"Released Today - April 26!
We are pleased to announce the release of some additional Captain EO inspired merchandise including a ladies junior cut "Rainbow" tee, a keychain and a pin."
