Maybe you're on west coast time? It says 1 here ..

I live an hour and a half from Disney World (Largo FL) ... but I was thinking along the same lines, maybe whoever set up the clock meant to set it for 1 EST and 10 PST but got it backwards??

The clock page still says 1 PM EST but there's no more countdown...

There is no more countdown becasue they just awarded, in the park, the night at the castle. It'll take a few hours to mount a picture of the happy family and at 1pm we'll get to see who that is!..

Any takers on a bet for a set of mouse ears!!??...


Btw.. we leave at 3pm... and fly down for 8 days tomorrow morning!

Sure is a lot of hype!! I hope it is something big

i thought maybe it was the next family to stay in the castle.
I'll let you know if i get the phone call

That would be odd if they called you..since you have to be in the park to win it.

So intriguing.

I am so jealous- have a great time. I won't bet you those mouse ears- I think you may be right....

I don't think this is an award to a family.... they're advertising it on yahoo too. This is something for EVERYONE.... I don't think it's just to point out a winner.

We'll see tho.. in 1.5 hrs!

Is it the "Wish Lounge" or was that announced before the 1pm time???

This hot off the press from allearsnet:

Friday, January 26, Morning:

The big "What's New, What's Next" presentation that was just held this morning didn't reveal any huge surprises, but did serve to confirm at least one rumor that has been swirling around lately. The main announcement is that Toy Story Mania! will arrive at the Disney-MGM Studios in 2008, in the space formerly occupied by "Who Wants to be a Millionaire -- Play It!" The new ride, which will also open in Disney's California Adventure in the Paradise Pier section, marks the first time an attraction has been designed and built simultaneously at Disneyland Resort and at Walt Disney World. The attraction will "set a new standard" for interactive ride/game technology. When you enter the attraction, you'll be greeted by the "barker," Mr. Potato Head, who, using technology similar to that found in Epcot's "Turtle Talk with Crush," will interact with guests. Then guests of all ages will put on 3-D glasses and ride themed vehicles along a route lined with "classic midway games of skill," while shooting their toy cannons at animated targets. As you ride, you'll pass through a series of games hosted by various Toy Story characters, like Bo-Peep and the Little Green Men. The ride will also be able to determine individual users' skill levels and will increase the degree of difficulty accordingly.

Also at the presentation was famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, who was hired to photograph celebrities as Disney characters for the Year of a Million Dreams promotion. Leibovitz spoke briefly about photographing singer Beyonce as Alice in Wonderland, alongside actor Oliver Platt as the Mad Hatter and singer Lyle Lovett as the March Hare.

The biggest buzz was the announcement of a pilot program called Disney's Online Concierge. Now being tested throughout the Contemporary Resort, the program involves each room having its own computer that provides a variety of services to guests. Guests can use the computer to check on flights, order room service, play videogames, connect to Disney internet sites, and contact valet and bell services. The online concierge will also send personal emails to the guests, with information on the upcoming day's events and weather. If the program proves successful, it will be expanded and may eventually allow guests to make online reservations at Disney restaurants.
