For those of you honeymooning @ WDW the End of 2009, here is an excerpt from Al Lutz's update (http://www.miceage.com/allutz/al022608d.htm ):
Jay Rasulo may have the opportunity to take some fake questions from plants in the audience again however, as he is set to announce the follow up to the faltering and muddled Year Of A Million Dreams. The follow up for 2009 is going to be called "Magical Celebrations", and it will be targeted around getting people to visit Disney Parks to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, honeymoons, graduations, etc., etc.
Many of the same offerings rolled out for the YOMD will be repackaged and rebranded under the Magical Celebrations banner, although many of them will only be available for a purchase price of some sort instead of a sweepstakes prize.
At least for Anaheim the Magical Celebrations schtick will be fairly short lived, as the 55th Anniversary in 2010 will have a bigger scope than the 40th or 45th celebrations had. It won't be the mammoth undertaking that the 50th was obviously, but it was the huge bump in spending and attendance from the 50th that has lasted right through to 2008 that is bolstering the budget for new entertainment and attractions in Anaheim specifically for 2010.
