Good, it says we are getting the Parade of Dreams from Disneyland.

Yeah the link doesn't work for me either. Can anyone repost the correct one?

All it says is:


has just been informed that after the conclusion of the long-running Year of a Million Dreams celebration in December 2008, Disney Parks will begin a new, smaller scale promotional program. The new promotion will be titled “Magical Celebrations” and is scheduled to begin in January 2009. The only part of the celebration that has been mentioned (still unofficial) thus far for the Walt Disney World Resort is the addition of Disneyland’s Parade of Dreams to the Magic Kingdom. No additional information is available at this time, but stay tuned to as more becomes available.

GAARGH! Can't we get a single promotion without Magic, Wishes or Dreams?!? The old slogan of 'Vacation Kingdom of the World' was so much nicer. :brick:

Could be worse.

We could be facing "The Happiest Magical Celebration of Wishes and Dreams for the Future (Hand in Hand)."

For ultimate marketing tackiness, stick a big '2009' on the end, too.

True, but it might not fit on a shopping bag, then.

For this next celebration they're putting the wand back up... on the castle.

Really, my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate walks Iger's dog... the dog told him.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

This is why I loved the Millenium Celebration.Real world issue.Disney style.

Does sound interesting though...but I wish they would hold off for the 40th.

 

[JEANYLASER]

Your Magical Dream-2009 is a great idea! With a new Illumnations:Sky Dance in EPCOT!

 

[fyn]

*sigh* Less is more, Disney.

At least in this case.

I hate to point this out, but Al Lutz actually reported it back in February:

Year of a Million Fees

Jay Rasulo may have the opportunity to take some fake questions from plants in the audience again however, as he is set to announce the follow up to the faltering and muddled Year Of A Million Dreams. The follow up for 2009 is going to be called "Magical Celebrations", and it will be targeted around getting people to visit Disney Parks to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, honeymoons, graduations, etc., etc.

Many of the same offerings rolled out for the YOMD will be repackaged and rebranded under the Magical Celebrations banner, although many of them will only be available for a purchase price of some sort instead of a sweepstakes prize.

At least for Anaheim the Magical Celebrations schtick will be fairly short lived, as the 55th Anniversary in 2010 will have a bigger scope than the 40th or 45th celebrations had. It won't be the mammoth undertaking that the 50th was obviously, but it was the huge bump in spending and attendance from the 50th that has lasted right through to 2008 that is bolstering the budget for new entertainment and attractions in Anaheim specifically for 2010.
