Those marketing CMs sure earn their money, don't they?) But would it hurt them to add a 35th anniversary tag to it?? Something like... "In honor of WDW's 35th...we are offering these little perks..." But nowhere in the forementioned article is there a statement from WDW management about the little milestone coming this Oct 1st. However, I am glad they have been able to come up with yet another excuse to continue the momentum brought on by DL's 50th.

As for Wishes, I thik we'd likely have heard aobut it before ow if the fireworks were going to change. Then again, we didn't hear ANYTHING about this promo before it was announced, so who knows?
Originally Posted By Chelledun I have to say, I feel like I don't understand this new celebration. I've read all the links and everything.

Originally Posted By Mickey Mouse Lover I really dont understand why they are making this celebration. But hey one big plus is that, if you want a certain dream come true Disney will make it happen for you butonly during this celebration. I do agree with Chelledun though. I have to say that the general park attedning population is not going to get much offered to them during the celebration. Im aslo saying to myseld that what is this celebration going to offer me.

Walt Disney World officials say they haven't worked out many details about the part of their big, new, yearlong promotion that is piquing imaginations: a chance to spend the night in the royal chamber at Cinderella Castle. "Oh my gosh," said Brandee Foxworthy of Longwood, whose daughter, Ella, was named for the fairy-tale princess. "My first thought was, in what way could we increase our chances?" That's yet to be answered, along with: How will winners be picked? What will the suite be like? What will visitors do after the park closes? Craig Dezern, a marketing vice president, said those details still are being worked out. Even the apartment is only a shell right now, with planners discussing how to turn it into a royal chamber. For that reason, it won't be ready for occupancy until January, even though Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion begins Oct. 1. The single-floor apartment is about 10 stories up, where the main structure of the castle ends and the spires climb on their own.<<

Originally Posted By ChiMike Well, if seeing cargo and landscaping vehicles is cool! Then it will be wicked cool! J/K. I would be first in line for a chance to stay in the castle.

Not as cool as waking up in Hong Kong one morning, Tokyo a couple days later, followed by Paris, Orlando, and Anaheim! I sooooooooo want to win the trip 'round the world to be grand marshal in a parade at every resort!
Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp I'd put up with the Grand Marshall obligation just so long as we got to go to all of the parks consecutively.
Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, but I thi, they make you do it - that's their excuse for why you're visiting every resort. So, I'd gladly do it, though I have no real interest in being in a parade unless people are throwing cash at me! lol

While I have never seen it, reportedly it's nothing more than an empty and unfinished room, and for many years it was used as a storage space and as a telephone operator's room.
