Disney Celebrates the Semiquincentennial

This year's 4th of July is a special one: it's the 250th birthday of America--the United States' semiquincentennial!  Centennial is 100 years.  Quin- means five.  Semi- means half.  Half of five hundred years!  In recognition, the Disneyland Resort has been decorated with patriotic flags and bunting for the first time in several years.  Buena Vista Street has this, but it's most classical over on Main Street, U.S.A., where the turn-of-the-century nostalgic vibe enhance the red, white, and blue decorations.  A monumental milestone like this is once in a lifetime, and it's nice to see the parks dressed up again for the occasion!
