2012 The Year of More Magic - 'a special surprise announcement on New Year's Eve'

Dec 08, 2011

An interesting article has just popped up on the official Walt Disney World site giving some details about what is coming to the parks in 2012. Titled "2012: The Year of More Magic", the article doesn't give much away beyond what is widely known, but there is one very interesting sentence in the opening paragraph.

From http://disneyworld.d.../2012-planning/

"From exciting seasonal events and brand-new attractions to immersive new experiences and a special surprise announcement on New Year's Eve…there's a lot more than just Leap Year to celebrate throughout Walt Disney World® Resort in 2012"

Oh boy!

They are finally going to tell us that they are building a new DVC resort at the Grand Floridian!

It has been officially announced.

I posted on another thread that the earth moving equipment is higher than the walls and it was becoming more and more difficult to explain what was going on as a refurbishment of the spa.

Come on Carol, as a Disney fan you've been through this sort of pre-big-announcement hype every year. A lot of smoke, but very little fire.

If it goes as previous big announcements have, it'll be a re-hash of stuff we already know with maybe a few minor new things thrown in to justify the big announcement. But what do I know?

New teaser page for 2012 The Year of More Magic - 'a special surprise announcement on New Year's Eve'

Dec 23, 2011

Remember earlier this month that page that popped up on the official Walt Disney World website giving a hint of something being announced on New Year's Eve?

From http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/news/2012-planning/

"From exciting seasonal events and brand-new attractions to immersive new experiences and a special surprise announcement on New Year's Eve…there's a lot more than just Leap Year to celebrate throughout Walt Disney World® Resort in 2012"

Well we now have a few more details from http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/one-more-disney-day/ that seem to hint that the announcement is indeed related to the 2012 celebration.

On December 31, 2011, tune in to Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest on ABC or Univision Television Feliz 2012 hosted by Don Francisco live from Disneyland Park for a special announcement. Check your local listings for exact air times. Disney Parks will be celebrating like never before!

Here is the teaser Disney Released online a few days ago

For more information check out this site.

Disney Parks One More Disney Day.

Speculation on the internet is that both the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World and Disneyland will remain open all night on February 28 and continue operating through Leap Day, February 29.

So unless you will be at Walt Disney World on those days the news is probably not going to interest you. What would really be cool is for the entire 2012 year the park stays open 24-7. That would be AWESOME!

Our Christmas Gift to You: Disney’s New Year’s Eve Announcement Spoiler

Posted on December 25, 2011 by admin

So Disney is hyping up a “big” announcement coming on New Year’s Eve. They set up a cute little website and a teaser video to hype thing up real good. You can check out the website yourself and see what everyone’s drooling about. It all has to do with “One More Disney Day” – what could that mean!?!?

Now Disney… you know we poke around.. and you know we’re nosy… did it ever occur to you we’d just right click on your webpage and choose “view source” and see what you’re hiding? Here’s the salient bits:

Description: “Share memories of your favorite Disney days by submitting one more of your Disney day vacation photos, videos and stories on the Disney Parks website.”

Keywords: disney day, disneyland day, disney world day, disneyland one day, disney world one day, get a disney day, one more disney day, share disney day, one more day, one more day disney Title: One More Disney Day | Share Your Disney Day | Disney Parks

That’s far less exciting than you thought it was going to be, wasn’t it? Oh well, another marketing campaign is born and another advertising executive gets a nice holiday bonus. Merry Christmas everyone.

Now you don’t have to worry about stepping away from your New Year’s Eve festivities just to see this snooze-fest get announced formally. Yay for social media initiatives…

Alrighty then... now that I have viewed the gloriously touted special announcement I can officially say what I only thought before... underwhelmed doesn't even begin to describe my excitement at this way-less-than-magical-offer-to-get-my-money.

IMO the number of people who'll get any real value out of this - and that counts those there on Feb 29 too - is extremely limited. It's almost an insult to a client's intelligence to try & sell this package as special. Most anything would have beaten this pithy deal with only a lot of smoke, mirrors, and hype behind it. This is the TA w/30+ yrs experience in me saying "thanks again for nothing wdw..."

It is 3 nights and only if you travel between February 26 and March 10.

It also won't let you use the "discount" on more than 7 days.

From the site:

Purchase a non-discounted 3-night, 3-day Magic Your Way package at select Disney Resort hotels for arrivals most nights February 26 to March 10, 2012 and get One More Disney Day and night for free. Book through January 31, 2012.
