Just found this information for the Minneapolis Tour...this is NOT official information...
from wdwmagic dot com...Minneapolis update...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got some info today about the Minneapolis event on Thursday...

We're meeting at the Minneapolis Hilton - 1001 Marquette Ave S.

Meeting at 10:30 and will go until 2 or 3 pm.

Street Team will be in groups of two and stationed or walking in a 3-4 block vicinity of the staging area (Hilton).

Members will be in plain colored collared shirts and khaki shorts/capris. We will have disney windbreakers as well.

We will be giving away 5,000 Mickey balloons with info on the new celebration attached (this will weigh down the balloons). We will be "inviting" guests to celebrate their special moments with Disney.

The balloons will be eco-friendly (which will please the Minneapolitans).

They've also sent me a "reminder" of typical Disney training... i.e. Disney Look, Disney Point, language, stay in character, etc. along with a video to watch about the balloons.

I was wondering if it was going to be like when the Nemo mobile came to town. For us it came through our town during our local Jazz festival and it was set up there. It happened to be during memorial day weekend. The Disney website had the route and you had to keep checking the progress of the vehicle and where it was and when. It stopped at gas stations and such. I sure hope they tell us where this "vehicle" or whatever is going to be before it gets here!

I know it is going to be in my town in January and I definitely want to check it out. I it is going to be here on a Monday and a Tuesday of all days.

I am a little bummed because we ALREADY had a birthday trip planned for my daughter but couldn't go on her actual birthday so she won't be able to partake of any of the free stuff. But now that I know about it I might try to plan a trip for May/June because dh and I have birthdays 5 days apart and if we go at just the right time we could BOTH get stuff. So that would be cool. Of course that is when school is still in so that could prove tricky too but I don't know we will have to think it through. But anyway this could def be fun!

If anyone finds out for sure how we can find out the locations of where the tour is going to be please let us know!!

gallam5...very early! here is what I found...sigh, just today...about Toronto...jc


DETAILS: Disney Parks brings the "What Will You Celebrate?" message in a
magical and interactive way to 30 cities this fall and winter, with Toronto
being the first stop on the Eastern leg of the tour on September 24. Colourful
vehicles - a party on wheels - roll out the fun with thousands of free Mickey
Mouse balloons at Toronto's Union Station in the morning (5am to 9am) and with
plenty of exciting surprises at Rogers Centre for the Blue Jays game in the
evening. The "What Will You Celebrate?" Tour also offers a chance to win a
"celebration vacation" to a Disney park and the opportunity to register for a
special birthday celebration surprise.
