Fairies, parties en route to Magic Kingdom

Just got in from a Disney media briefing, and there are things to share.
Fawn, an animal fairy; Rosetta, a garden fairy; Tinker Bell; Silvermist, a water fairy; and Iridessa, a light fairy. I think it's safe to say that Disney hopes the fairies take off like the princesses did.
This part of the briefing was tied to the official announcement of Pixie Hollow, which will open in Magic Kingdom on Oct. 24, four days before the long-awaited Tinker Bell animated feature becomes available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Many of the other details have been bouncing around the Internet, of course: Pixie Hollow will be in Toon Town; a corridor will "shrink" guests from human world to fairy-tale world; it will run continuously through the day and involve storytelling as well as meet-and-greet photo opportunities. The fairies will talk.
You can learn more about Disney Fairies at www.disneyfairies.com.
After the jump: details about the new celebrations at Magic Kingdom once the Celebrate Today campaign kicks in after the first of the year.
Francois Leroux, an executive with Walt Disney World Entertainment, shared some facts about the street parties and the Tomorrowland Party.
The street party will go up Main Street and set up shop for a stop at Cinderella Castle. This is happen three times a day and feature dancers and characters in colorful costuming. They will encourage everyone to celebrate something. It will be very musical. Two words: conga line. (I'm getting a variation on the Block Party Bash vibe here).
The Tomorrowland Party will be in a new area set up between Space Mountain and Carousel of Progress. "There's nothing there now," Leroux syas. The continuous theme will be reports from the Tomorrow News Network ("news from the galaxy"). Expect more audience participation, live interaction (think Crush over at Epcot) and sightings of Wall-E, Buzz Lightyear and Stitch.
Unrelated but interesting: No word still on what will become of the Cinderella Suite in the castle. Since we're still in the Year of a Million Dreams, don't expect to hear anything until after the first of the year, we were told.

. so they are going to turn the magic kingdom and main street especially into a street party bash with tacky congaline style music and gawdy banners and colors. uggg. Im for the general birthday party idea to an extent, but after seeing the concept art not impressed. The colors look too feminine to me, why I dont know. Maybe I just go for dark rich colors.
