Over at Disneyland it starts today with Three Kings Day. Of course, next week is the Salute to the Golden Horseshoe Revue...

How is a Limited Time event such as this going to bring some financial benefit or improved attendance numbers to he park? The whole thing is honestly a waste of resources and time.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Don't you mean "see what Limited Time Magic *might* occur"? As it stands now, they don't even have the events running continuously. If you miss something, it could be a few days/weeks, meaning your entire vacation could be between events. I guess the magic is so limited that they can't even get enough of it to spread throughout the entire year. I'm also surprised that no one at WDW seems to be clever enough to try and tie the runDisney events into this promotion. Marathon Weekend is next weekend, bringing in tens of thousands of runners on an otherwise-quite weekend, with a variety of events lasting just a couple days, yet they haven't tried to connect the two together. Perhaps they'll catch on for the Princess Half in February, or Wine & Dine Half in November (or either of the DL race weekends).
