Summary


Grammy Award winner LeAnn Rimes has been chosen to sing "Remember When," Disneyland's anthem song for its upcoming 50th Anniversary Celebration that kicks-off May 5. The original song was composed and produced by Richard Marx and will be featured as part of the new "Remember ... Dreams Come True" fireworks spectacular presented throughout the 18-month "Happiest Homecoming on Earth" celebration at Disneyland. The song will also be featured in other advertising and marketing efforts during the celebration. The announcement was made today at the headquarters of The Walt Disney Company in Burbank, California.

"Remember When" represents a "Happiest Homecoming" of sorts for LeAnn, as she recalls being comforted with a trip to Disneyland at age 8 after losing the "Star Search" TV talent competition for the second time. When she thinks of Disneyland, she says, "I think of this lighthearted, childlike place where everyone can go and get away from it all -- even adults -- and just be a kid again."

Premiering on May 5, 2005 "The Happiest Homecoming on Earth," an celebration of the golden 50th anniversary of Disneyland, will pay tribute to the millions of guests and Cast Members who have contributed to the rich legacy of "The Happiest Place on Earth" over the past five decades. The 18-month long celebration is the first truly global Disney event; with commemorative events planned at each of the 10 Disney theme parks around the world.
