Does anyone know what parade/events are planned after the 100th ends?

[Disney Princess 6]

We're going to WDW only days after the 100th bday parade is pulled. Will Disney replace it with a new parade or theme? How can I find out?

Thank you.

I've heard that the only thing that's planned to end with the celebrations is Tapestry of Dreams at EPCOT. I read in the new York Times that there is a replacement in the works, but no word on the theme.

Hello,
I was at WDW the week before Christmas and they had a lot of new 75 years of Mickey merchandise out. I am willing to bet that 75 yrs will be the new theme.

Doesn't Disney always replace the current celebration with another one? Everytime we have been there it is someone's birthday or anniversary! Have fun.

The Millineum Celebration ran from 10/99 through 12/00.

100 Years was supposed to run the same way, 10/01 through 12/02, however, it was extended for two months due to the slow start brought on by the effects of 9/11.

So there was a 9 month gap between MC and 100 Years.

Most speculation is that that next "big" celebration will be for DL's 50th, but it will be labeled as more of a "50 years of Disney Parks" rather than "DL's 50th birthday".

IF that is true, it will probably start towards the end of 2004, and run through 2005.

It would be difficult to squeeze in anything significant during the 19 months or so between 100 Years and 50 Years, so anything that happens will probably be minor. (not that there was much real substance for 100 years anyway...)

I will be there the last 4 days the the 100 years celeberation. Should I worry about them ending or tapering off any of the activities? If so which ones?
