Yesterday was the very last peformance of the Golden Dreams show at Disney's California Adventure. Soon, the works will begin for Tony Baxter's Little Mermaid attraction. Of all the exterior decor, only the famous rotunda will remain.
For all of you who never had the luck to see the Golden Dreams movie - including me as the day i went to DCA the show was unfortunately closed - i've found this three-part video on youtube where you'll see the whole movie, introduce by Whoopy Goldberg. The in-theatre filming is not totally perfect, but it's the best i've found, and it shows everything.
So, let's say a last goodbye to this wonderful show, and let's hope that somebody at Disney will have the good idea to release it in a future Disney Treasures dvd,, along with other Disneyland extinct attraction movies . In the meantime, all my thanks to
HV10N90 for the youtube videos!

I was there to see the last show...
It was sad and exciting to know that the CM's care so much about this place and look forward to something even better.
What a shame as this was one of the few attractions I actually remember from my one and only trip to CA about 6 years ago... it's very cheesy and emotional but DAMN! Disney does cheesy very, very well and the song still gets to me, every time.
Farewell...
unfortunately, you were one of the few people that actually saw this film/attraction claudia. That's why it's going away. No one, at least not enough of them liked it enough to keep it.
I watched parts of the first video. I'm glad i will never waste 23 minutes of my time for a history video when i'm in Anaheim. It's not what i expect in a themepark.
I think every fourth grader who studies California should see this production. I thought it was one of the best attractions and I hope that Disney will find a way to make it available to the public. They owe it to the students of California.
I went to California Adventure as an 19 year old, and still loved this movie. It made me cry, being a native Californian, I love my home state! I was refreshed on my state's rich history. I wish that Disney would release this on DVD.
