Fans of Disneyland Resort, get ready to dive into a splash of nostalgia and possibility! The buzz around Anaheim has been electrifying following an eventful post by TikTok user @disneywiththegregorys, which features a throwback to 2004. Back then, Disneyland Resort made waves by momentarily installing an Olympic-sized swimming pool right on Main Street, U.S.A., as part of the celebration following the Summer Olympics in Athens. This iconic pool saw none other than swimming sensation Michael Phelps compete alongside junior Olympians, all orchestrated with Disney flair.
The 2004 memory had people mesmerized not just by the spectacle, but also by the astonishing feat of setting up this 164-foot, 104,000-gallon heated pool within a jaw-dropping 30 hours. With the Summer Olympics slated to return to Los Angeles in 2028, Disney enthusiasts are brimming with creative ideas to replicate or even surpass the magic of 2004. Users on social media have been vocal about their excitement, with suggestions ranging from reusing California Adventure Park’s lagoon to imagining new public swimming events in the heart of Disneyland.
Mickey Mouse and Goofy themselves had the honor of ceremoniously “breaking ground” for the temporary pool, making it a pinnacle event that drew thousands of park guests to witness the Olympic spirit take over Disneyland. The nostalgia is palpable, with comments flooding in, expressing wishes that the pool had been left open for public enjoyment back in 2004.
So, what could Disneyland Resort do to celebrate the 2028 Olympics? From the social media echo chamber to Anaheim’s local buzz, everyone’s brainstorming. Whether it’s a whimsical swimming race down Main Street or perhaps a community-focused event, the anticipation is as thrilling as a Disneyland ride!
