[WA Kay]

This is what it says on the Disney web site. Not much information but some.

The extraordinary Celebration Roundup and Barbecue at Big Thunder Ranch in Frontierland brings you an experience worth remembering — opening April 2, 2009*!

Want to do something out of the ordinary to celebrate your special occasion? Have a cowboy-style party in the spirit of the Wild West!

* Authentic Western favorites like barbecued ribs and chicken, corn on
the cob, beans, cole slaw — and a surprise dessert
* Delightful live entertainment
* Disney Character appearances
* A Critter Corral

Tips & Fun Facts
Every now and then, the live animal being celebrated shows up, dressed in his or her costume!

Enter the cabin, where there are photographs of major events in the barnyard critters' lives such as cows getting married, State Fair prizes, a horse's second birthday party, a college graduation ceremony for one of the goats, and so on. The animals are dressed up for their photos.

Just a heads up, the Celebration Barbecue and Big Thunder Ranch, while sorta integrated thematically, will more than likely be kept apart from one another.

It would be a great idea to (humanely) integrate the animals into the show of the BBQ. However, I don't think the Orange County Health Inspector much agrees with me, particularly when it would likely include children touching the animals, and then touching the shared plates of food, most likely without washing their hands.

Does PETA know about the animals dressing up in costumes? They will not be happy over that. Minnie Moo in her minnie dress then we have Porker Pig in her Pink polka dot bikini and finally Gary Gosling will waddle out as an Elvis impersonator.

Yes, Sue, nap time for me.

I will probably go ahead and make PS's for this and then wait and see what the reviews are actually like....

Hopefully, the critter corral will be visited at the END of the meal! Although they do have very nice sinks, soap and towels right there for hand washing.
