I knew it wasn't going to be anything big since Disney's stock price has been dropping all morning. If it was seriously something major, the price would not have been dropping.

You tell us this now?! How convenient...

LAME-O

It's off to work we go.....................

 

[phisigprincess]

why is anyone surprised?

I kind of agree. I feel like Disney does this quite often. Builds up a big deal and it's really not such a huge announcement. Seriously, if it was a new promo or something, that could have been kept under wraps, but if they were talking new park, new ride, new show, chances are we would have already heard about it.

My dad was hoping for free trips to everyone who has visited in the past 5 years.

Alright I'll stop I'll stop.

I just can't believe this.

I only got 5 hours of sleep because I stayed up late pondering what it was and woke up early to catch it!

The Mouse has cried Wolf once to often for this girl. From now on, I am officially ignoring any of Disney's so called big announcements.

Bytheblood, I'm glad you enjoyed my musical break this morning , I agree that the 'announcement' has made for some good reading at least...

Now come on ya'll. After intensive research and months of planning, Disney knows for a fact that those pictures are EXACTLY what we all dreamed of!

(Where's the desk to exchange those pics for a dream fastpass? anyone? ANYONE??)

(Sung to the Tune of "Oh What A Beautiful Morning", chorus)

"Oh what a waste of a morning
Oh what a waste of my day
Sitting here thinking that Mickey
Would send some big Magic My Way"

That's hilarious. And so true.

What am I missing? I looked at the website and all I see are 3 pictures of celebs dressed up as Disney characters. Where is the big announcement?? Is that it? They made an announcement that they were going to put 3 pictures on the website? That was the big news? Someone help-was I supposed to click on something to see the big announcement???

There is big news!

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.

Am I a complete idiot or is there absolutely NO ANNOUNCEMENT?! I think I would be less disappointed even if there was a small announcement. So, what is it? The new pictures with celebrities? I don't get it...

Although, the new pictures by Annie Leibovitz are good...
