[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]The Walt Disney Company is helping to make wishes come true for children all over the world by donating proceeds from the highly anticipated World Premiere of Walt Disney Pictures/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and Make-A-Wish International. The event will take place on May 19th at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, with all of the film’s stars expected to participate. This gala celebration for the third installment of the enormously popular “Pirates” saga will raise $3 million for Make-A-Wish efforts, with Disney providing an initial donation in excess of $1 million to the charities, in addition to underwriting the entire cost of the Premiere (so that 100 percent of the ticket income will benefit both Make-A-Wish organizations).

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]This is the first time that the public has been invited to participate in a “Pirates” Premiere. Individual tickets are priced at $1,500, and are now available for sale at www.piratespremiere.com[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]The Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and Make-A-Wish International are dedicated to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions in order to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Over the past 25 years, Disney has continued to support the Make-A-Wish cause, contributing more than $10 million in cash and in-kind donations on an annual basis. With more than 6,000 wishes granted each year including visits to the Disney Parks, Disney Cruises, meeting Disney Characters and visiting TV and movie sets, including Pirates of the Caribbean films, Disney-themed wishes continue to be the most popular requests.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End picks up where the record-breaking 2006 smash hit left off, with heroes Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones’ locker. With the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman, and its commander Davy Jones under the control of the East India Trading Company, there is havoc on the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, the heroic trio must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final titanic battle – as not only their lives and fortunes, but the entire future of the freedom-loving Pirate way hangs in the balance.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Or I could just pull $1500 for the ticket, $800 for a dress, and $400 for a plane ticket out of my back pocket.


But seriously, it is so great that they are doing this!

It would be so cool for the DIS to buy all the tickets, then raffle off the tickets. could you imagine an all-DIS event like this?

$1,500 a head but I did notice that includes parking in the structure 1 mile away

 

[Disney Dreams]

That's fantastic! And the great part is, for the right people, $1,500 is SO do-able, especially when it has been set up to be tax-deductible. Nice charitable tie-in.
