its the cost increase you will see across the board on all disney Merchandise, tickets, hotel stays etc. Also the number of employee's per park they will lay off each week till August

Or will it be a decrease in merchandise sales and ticket prices? Will we ever go back to having tickets that were $20 a piece?

I was told by a friend, who is an 18+ year, CM that the layoffs are starting.

Croaker was the closest with guessing.

Now I'm confused. What does the layouts have to do with the 23 campaign again?

Nothing, Croaker was being sarcastic (I hope). Although, the cost of a ticket being $23 would be nice, but knowing how Disney has conducted business in the past it is more likely that it would be an increase of $23.

Oh, ok, You had me really lost there for a second!

I was thinking, wait, a big campaign couldn't possible have been dedicated to LAYOFFS, right? Right?!?!?!?!

I'm going to say 23 classics released on Blu-ray disc to honor the 70th anniversary of Pinnochio. It's the most logical idea that I have been hearing tossed around.

I found a link on the board on the LaughingPlace and they are also speculating their reasons for what it may be. http://mb.laughingplace.com/MsgBoard-T-102867-P-1.asp

This has gotten my hopes up:

23 years ago was 1986, so...

Of course! It's the celebration of the 23rd anniversary of The Great Mouse Detective, which premiered in '86. No doubt the long-awaited release of the Special Limited Edition 4-disc Platinum DVD Treasures set.

In a tin.

Oh, I hope it's true. I really love that movie.

Hmm, maybe. But this seems like a big campaign for just a re-release, right? I don't know...one would expect something a wee bit bigger, I guess. Don't quote me on that, though!

I have to agree.. there is no way all this hype is just for some re-release.. It has to be much bigger than that.

There have been countless major re-releases with much less fanfare. Sorry to say it, but if there was not much fanfare for a major classic like Mary Poppins, there is *NO* way all this fanfare is for sure a minor classic like Great Mouse Detective.

This has to be something MAJOR. BIG TIME... No one has mentioned this... but what if it is a new park in the US? WDW has ALOT of room for new parks....

Man, wouldn't that be awesome?!?!

Gymfan15 · Post by **Gymfan15** » Jan Sat 31, 2009 2:04 pm

Wouldn't it? The only feasible thing I can think of would be an announcement of plans to build a third park in DLR. It's no secret that they've got a plot of land that they've been priming for a new park for years now, including a long drawn-out battle with the city for permission to do so. But with so much focus going into DCA at the moment, I would find it hard to believe that they would announce a new park just yet. Maybe in three or four years, but not yet.

And as for WDW; there's been NO rumors for any new park yet, except for their exclusive night-time park that I'm not even sure is happening anymore? Or a planned expansion of AK to turn Minnie's Camp into the Beastly Kingdomme or something like that.

I guess we'll find out soon!

Why am I getting the feeling that once this "23" thing is revealed we're all going to be rolling our eyes?

elizabethswann · Post by **elizabethswann** » Jan Sat 31, 2009 7:49 pm

I wouldn't be surprised if it's something really minor that no one would care about but I don't know.

Gymfan15 · Post by **Gymfan15** » Jan Sat 31, 2009 8:19 pm

Could be, but still...big secretive campaign? It can't be just a small thing; that wouldn't make sense. *shrugs*
