2009 Celebration
As we are about half way through 2008, I figure the rumors should start flying soon. The Year of Million Dreams will officially be over (hooray!) and now it's time for something new. Any idea what's next??
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

Hopefully they will take a break for a year or two. It makes the special promotions actually special when they're not held in quick succesion. I would love if they invested the money they'd spend on a promtion and work on improving the park for a year or two. You could even keep the same budget for advertising to get people into the park, but just spend the money for prizes and some of the marketing materials over to hiring long-term cast members and things like that.
I really used to enjoy the every-5 years celebrations growing up because you knew something special was going on. For the past 4+ years it's just been constant celebrations and "big parties", and it tends to make the park lose some of it's soul if you're covering the castle in crowns, wrapping the monorail, and changing the banners and Mickey Ears contsantly. IMO of course

I would love that they take a year off but I really don't see that happening, I defnitely see them making another celebration. The overkill of Banners/Signs spread throughout the parks is ugly, They should probably take a few years off and wait till WDW's 40th Anniversary in 2011 and in the meantime, fix the rides/attractions / build new rides in the meantime for the 40th anniversary celebration in 2011.
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

The rumors I've been hearing is they are going to wait till 2011-2012 for the next one, 40th of WDW . They will be doing short "Celebrations" between now and then (a few weeks to a few months) But the huge year long ones are over till 2011 (late in the year I would guess, since WDW opened in Oct 1971.)

If nothing is planned...wait 6 months. its like buying a pepsi or coke that doesn't offer something to win each time. i'm suprized they don't have numbers on the back of your fasspass that if you visit a special web-site you might be a winner.

I think instead of having the entire year be part of the celebration they should do more for indivdual attraction anniversaries. Like something along the lines of what they did for Stitch's debut, but not as obnoxious. Or maybe, since a lot of the Fantasyland rides have the same anniversary, they could just a pick a random unannounced day to celebrate "Snow White's (Scary) Adventures". Outside the attraction they could have a sleeping snow white and the prince rides in on his horse and awakens her. Big Thunder could have a "rain making" ceremony by the cumulus dude. I don't know... I'm just thinking. The anniversaries work out better than random celebrations, so why not individual ride aniversaries. Nothing big, just special.
I definitely agree with the parks taking a break. It would be nice to be able to go & just enjoy the parks, attractions, & parades without wondering if we are going to win anything.boilerbabe wrote:I definintely think they should take a break! It doesn't seem as special when it's always a "celebration".
