It will be broadcast live...inside Mickey's Philharmagic. It's a press event. The way that works, they announce the information to the press, then the press announces and broadcasts it to the world. That's how you create the buzz. If it were a webcast, it would be called that.

A lot of companies broadcast their press events. Apple and Google being the first two that come to mind.

Parks blog just posted this - my *guess* is they would have announced tonights event as being broadcast by now if it were in fact going to be. Again, just my guess:

posted on January 18th, 2011 by Jonathan Frontado, Disney Cruise Line



Captain Mickey and all of us at Disney Cruise Line cordially invite you to what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration for our new ship, the Disney Dream.

On Wednesday, January 19th – tomorrow! – we’ll stream a live webcast of the ship’s spectacular christening ceremony to all our fans on the Internet. The show will start at 10:30 a.m. Eastern, direct from Port Canaveral in Florida, where the Disney Dream calls home.
You can watch it at www.disneycruise.com/dream and right here on the Disney Parks Blog. Flash is required so make sure you’re watching from a compatible computer or mobile device.

The webcast will show the entire ceremony, including a special appearance by the godmother of the Disney Dream. Can you guess who it’ll be? It’s a dream come true for someone very special to Disney Cruise Line.

Be sure to watch for the last big sneak peek before the Disney Dream sails her maiden voyage to the Bahamas on January 26th!

For theme park food it's priced about right. The last time I went to Cedar Point I got a 6" Subway sadnwich for $9. If I wanted to add chips and a drink it would've been $15. Mini corndog nuggets, fries and a coke cost me $13 up there as it was my normal meal at Cedar Point.

You are right, the food at WDW is not unreasonable priced at all compared to other theme parks. It is just that all theme and amusement parks know that they have you locked in theirt grasp and bump their prices. WDW at least will let you bring in your own food which many other parks do not allow that.

I am a sucker for dark rides of any sort. While I love the classic elements of Snow White it needed to be updated very bad. Building a new ride with the same theme is there way of doing that. Even Peter Pan is dated. I've often said the best possible thing they could do to that ride is swap out the vehicles for 2-seaters doubling the capacity and shortening the wait time.

Peter Pan Dated? You are being very kind. I love the ride, but this is 2011 and the effects seem to be pre WW1!. I hope that PPF gets some love after FLE is complete. As for increasing the cars to 2 rows, I would have to wonder if the track system would support the added weight?

Disney World’s Fantasyland expansion

Largest expansion in Magic Kingdom History

Updated: Tuesday, 18 Jan 2011, 11:58 AM EST
Published : Tuesday, 18 Jan 2011, 7:17 AM EST
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Walt Disney World released artist renderings of the expansion of Fantasyland Tuesday. The project is the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history. More details will be released tonight during a media event.

The project which is currently under construction will include a new home for The Little Mermaid Ariel, new ways to interact with favorite Disney princesses, an exciting new family coaster, a double dose of Dumbo and more.

It will open in phases beginning in late 2012.

Among the highlights planned:

Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid
-a major, all-new attraction during which guests will travel with Ariel and her friends through their exciting adventures above and below the waves – all against a musical backdrop of songs from the classic film.

The castle of the Beast
-Standing majestically upon a hill just across an old stone bridge from Ariel’s new home. The Be Our Guest Restaurant will feature a lavish dining experience in the elegant ballroom, gallery, and mysterious “West Wing” of the castle. With seating for 550, this magnificent facility will offer “great food fast” service by day and full table service dining in the evening. Nearby in Belle's Village, guests will find the rousing Gaston’s Tavern and Bonjour! Village Gifts.

Just outside the village is Belle’s cottage and Enchanted Tales with Belle. The adventure begins in Maurice’s workshop, where a magical mirror is the doorway to a captivating new kind of storytelling experience: Guests are transported to the Beast’s library to meet Belle and Lumiere, and share in a lively, interactive, re-telling of the “tale as old as time.”

The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
-it will take guests on a rollicking, musical ride into the mine “where a million diamonds shine.” The coaster will feature a first-of-its kind ride system with a train of ride vehicles that swing back and forth, responding to every twist and turn of the track. The journey will be accompanied by music from the classic Disney film and animated figures of Snow White and the Dwarfs.

Princess Fairytale Hall
-Aurora, Cinderella and other Disney princesses, such as Tiana and Rapunzel, will greet guests in their new home, an elegant royal court on the site where Snow White’s Scary Adventures stands today.

The sound of the calliope
-This will lead guests to the brand new Storybook Circus and not one but two circling carousels of airborne pachyderms on Dumbo the Flying Elephant. Before taking to the skies on this Fantasyland favorite, guests can experience an array of fun-filled family games and interactive wonders for kids of all ages inside the Big Top.

Storybook Circus
-the classic Barnstormer gets a bright new look as well, featuring Goofy as The Great Goofini. It’s a twisting, turning roller coaster “flight” high above the circus fun.
