Disney Travel Announcement today....

[WaltD4Me]

Word on the street is Disney Travel is going to be making another announcement today...Supposedly according to Disney it is an "exciting" announcement. Disney's definition of an exciting and mine are often different though, so I can't wait to see what it is.

Same here. I will say my curiosity is piqued.

ETA)Wait.. is this just the official announcement of the Shanghai park?

That is pretty big news.. but we've been reading about it here for a little while so I thought it might be something else.

I could use some exciting news!

Sounds like the right timing for this year's "Summer Nightastic" announcment.
New parades maybe? Fireworks?

There was another post this week about fireworks testing in WDW.

I'd love a little "exciting" news....

How do they typically make this announcement? Is it a press conference or online press release?

Looks like it was the announcement of Shanghai Disneyland.

First, they have to find someone with absolutely no charisma to make the announcement....

Or a drunk Tom Bergeron.

Hopefully it won't be Tom Bergeron.

Oh. wait. You said NO charisma........Paging Bob Iger. Paging Bob Iger.

Shanghai is old news. I don't think it's Shanghai, but this is Disney, leave it to them to turn old news into an "exciting" announcement. So it might be.
From what I read the announcement is to be made to travel agents sometime today.

I saw on Facebook that on Friday Disney announced they broke ground on the Shanghai Disney Resort. I'm guessing that was the announcement.

Here's the official announcement from their blog.
