And when that teen is Miley Cyrus – star of Disney’s “Hannah Montana” – there’s no better place to celebrate than at a Disney Park. To honor the occasion and Miley’s philanthropic passion, Disneyland Resort in California has created “Miley’s Sweet 16 – Share The Celebration,” an unforgettable event for Miley and her fans that also will serve to recognize Youth Service America and help drive awareness of the need for youth volunteerism. The Hollywood-style bash is planned for Sunday, Oct. 5, from 6 to 11 p.m., with ticket sales limited to 5,000 fans. Tickets, priced at $250, go on sale at 9 a.m. PDT, Saturday, Aug. 30, at <a href="http://www.disneyparks.com/miley">www.disneyparks.com/miley</a>.</font></font></p>

I presume this will be similar to what they did with the Pirates Premiere tickets. You must list the names of the persons attending when you buy the tickets. And then you don't get the actual ticket until the night of the event, where you show up with your ID and the persons attending. (Of course, Disney will take School ID's for younger kids instead of DL's). So no way to scalp a ticket (And GOOD for that!)

As I understand it, they will be using the event as the Press kickoff of the new 2009 Disneyland Resort marketing theme... "What Will You Celebrate?". So a chance to take more photos of Miley Cyrus (which I have had done multiple times before at Disneyland events) and some other stuff.... Not the biggest event I am looking forward to ....... So I guess the answer to the question.... What Will You Celebrate?.... Leaving the event!

As the rumor of Miley's party was floated around as MK changed it's operating schedule for seemingly inexplicable reasons for October 3rd/4th (end result is the MNSSHP moved and reinstated after being canceled for several days). You think they'd have it all figured out prior to changing operations.

I mean, to actually go and cover this Miley Cyrus thing, I dunno. I'm not saying this in a mean way, but why not stay home for once and take a breather from covering Disneyland? Do you have any other interests and how do you find time for them?

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS This is an honest question and I'm really not trying to make fun of the girl...but.... If a person was to pay $250 to go to a party, what do you get in return? I understand that it helps charity - but do you actually get to ride with her, or is she protected by a DL escort? Are the fireworks going to be specially designed? Do you get a special "thanks for coming to my party" gift bag? Help me out here. I guess I just don't get it.
