Disney has sent a mystery invitation out to the media regarding a major new theme park related announcement they will be making on September 18th at noon, somewhere in New York City. As stated in the invitation, ?You?re invited to join Disney Parks for a special announcement -- so big we?re bringing the news to New York.? The announcement gets a little strange here as it promotes ?New, breakthrough insights about how American families travel will be shared by Peter Yesawich, Chairman & CEO, YPartnership, one of America?s leading travel trend-watchers. Following that, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo will unveil exciting plans for 2009--including a first in the history of the Walt Disney Company.?
My gut instinct is to say that this event could include that long rumored post-Olympic announcement about the new Disney park project for China, in addition to whatever big celebration Disney has planned to roll out to both coasts for 2009. This could be that ?Celebrate Today? rumor, though we?ve heard that the focus may be on Disney pushing the big family trip, reunion or large gathering concept once again as part of this.

I also have to wonder if Disney might be ready to make some kind of announcement about that Premium Park concept in development for Walt Disney World, previously being called Disney’s Night Kingdom but has since been changed to Disney’s Jungle Trek. Anyone know more about what kind of rabbit Disney is going to pull out of the hat? Last time it was Oswald…

Sounds promising! I hope I am not underwhelmed.

Wow, so they are finally making the huge announcement that they are adding a new loop to Small World?!! My Dream has come true! The old loop was getting annoying, little rough and shaky.

Serious, most likely doing what thy did for the Year (Decade) of a million(times 10) dreams. Wasn't that announced in New York as well?

They will probably just announce the new park in China and a new marketing scheme. I doubt they are going to announce anything "BIG" for WDW....

I'm guessing this'll be the premiere announcement of the "Location-based Entertainment" mini-resorts.

Well considering when Busch Entertainment announced Worlds of Discovery Dubai they did it at SeaWorld Orlando. (that was a fun information event)

I would guess since New York is one of the big main news areas, its best to announce their next Global event there.

"whatever big celebration Disney has planned to roll out to both coasts for 2009"

This smells awfully like Disney Cruise Line stuff to me. Especially with the "large family gatherings" portion thrown in.
