Disney is advertising that they are going to making a surprise announcement today at 1:00pm Eastern. Does anyone have any insight as to what it could be!? My hubby says it's like Willy Wonka - Disney is so secretive, it must be something good! We are heading out in 2 weeks, hope we can take advantage of whatever it is!
 
Where do they make these announcements at? Or how can we view what they are?
 
Try checking on Yahoo after 1 pm -- they're promoting the announcement over there!

So ... what's it going to be? It's from Disney Parks (as opposed to resorts or just WDW).
 

Just a guess...

I know they're planning a big redesign for their website... could that be it? (hope not!)

I'm going to WDW in a couple days.... can't wait to find out what it is!:yay:
 
Although... it says "see whose dreams are coming true"

Didn't I hear that yesterday was going to be the 1st selection of someone to stay in the castle? Maybe it's actually today and they're going to broadcast it live???
:wizard:
 
Ooooohh, I can't wait! :Pinkbounc :cool1: :Pinkbounc

It's just like Christmas! :thumbsup2
 
I don't remember if i entered the castle sweepstakes. I think I did, lol. Can you still enter? I don't see an option to on the website.
 
God, please let it be a park in Brazil!!!!!!:lmao:
 
Rumor is it will be regarding the new DVC resort that will be part of the Grand Californian at Disneyland in CA. I hope so. It would seem so since they are promoting DVC in a HUGE way in CA and they don't have DVC resort yet. So they need to get one for all the ppl buying into it with that in mind.

Peek Inside the New Disney.com

Big changes are on the way to Disney's Web site, and we wanted our readers to be among the first to get a peek at what's coming, and how you can make the most of all the cool new features. Disney.com is getting a remake from top to bottom in order to bring our Guests more of Disney's wide array of content -- whether it's a kid looking for Hannah Montana, a busy mom planning a Disney vacation, or a true Disney fan looking for that elusive piece of Disney history. .

The first thing you'll notice is that the site is in motion -- the home page, and the pages for each new category, will be rich with video to watch. Each section will offer a variety of playlists related to the category.

The new category navigation across the top of every page should make it easier to find exactly what you're looking for. The categories are the...

home of all games content, or all music content, or live events -- you get the picture.

Another way to navigate the new Disney.com is through the "character carousel" at the bottom of the home page. Click the right or left arrows to spin the carousel to your favorite Disney character. From Mickey and Tinker Bell to Lightning McQueen and Jack Sparrow, just click your favorite characters to enter into their worlds.

Disney For You, found on the top left of the home page, is where you'll find everything Disney broken down for groups of visitors like boys, girls, families, and Disney fans. If you've got a teen to entertain or a preschooler to amuse, all the appropriate Disney content is just a click away.

The Disney Fan section is tailor-made for Insiders! Here you'll find all the history, trivia, and background information on The Walt Disney Company and Walt himself. From collectibles to trivia games, your favorite Characters to Disney Legends, it's all in one spot.

But perhaps the biggest news is Disney Xtreme DigitalSM -- an enhanced broadband experience that brings together entertainment, personalization, and community. Guests can watch their favorite videos, play games, and connect with friends and other fans -- all at the same time! With Disney XD, you can even create your very own channel. Perfect for Disney fans, Disney XD will let you immerse yourself in your favorite characters and worlds in a whole new way.

In just a few short weeks, you'll see what all the excitement is about. In the meantime, stay tuned to the Insider for more tips and updates about the new Disney.com.

I'm pretty sure you have to be in the park to win the stay at the castle.

For other "dreams" you can't enter online, but you can by mail:

"Also, starting on September 18, 2006, eligible participants can enter without being present in a Disney Property by writing their full name, complete mailing address (including postal code), daytime telephone number (including area code), and date of birth on a 3.5"x5" postcard and sending it with proper postage affixed to: P.O. Box 8629, Elmhurst, IL 60126. Participants may enter once per day during the Giveaway Period. All mail-in entries must be mailed separately, postmarked by December 31, 2007 and received by January 14, 2008 or they will be void."
 
I know that I have heard that they will be handing out special gifts to guests inside the park - randomly walking up to people and giving out prizes varying from dinner to a free stay. Knowing Dis, it could be anything. My husband is too much, he wanted to know if Walt was going to be brought back from Cryogenics....:confused3
 
My hope ( and dream:cloud9: ) is for more DVC resorts and another DCL ship to be docked on the west coast.
