BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 From WDW Magic...2012 The Year of More Magic - 'a special surprise announcement on New Year's Eve'Dec 08, 2011An 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"http://www.wdwmagic....%27s-Eve%27.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think this is finally the announcement that they do, indeed, have Walt's frozen head stored high atop Cindy's Castle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I keep wishing and hoping they would do something in the vein of Give a Day again. *sigh* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 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.

bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Just got an email today about the 147 villas going up near the Wedding Chapel at the Grand Floridian. How about something really exciting instead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm actually curious to see what the surprise announcement on NYE is!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 ParksThat’s far less exciting than you thought it was going to be, wasn’t it?

Yay for social media initiatives…http://www.epcyclopedia.com/2011/12/25/our-christmas-gift-to-you-disneys-new-years-eve-announcement-spoiler/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 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..." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 What I saw last night if you book a package 3 or more nights you will get a extra night and day at the park for free Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 So if it's the non-discounted rate, you could actually pay the same at anytime the discounts are in place. I am underwhelmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Parks will be open for 24 hours on Feb 29th.http://news.yahoo.co...-040136159.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 So if I read this right. It only applies to room AND ticket packages, not any good for someone with an annual pass? OH BOY! Sign me up...NOT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
