PRESS INFORMATION
DISNEY THEME PARKS WELCOME 2-BILLIONTH GUEST
12-Year Old from Colorado Springs, Colorado, Receives Lifetime Pass to
Disney Parks Worldwide
ANAHEIM, Calif. (May 2, 2006) - - At 9:02am today Disneyland lived up to its
reputation as “The Happiest Place on Earth” as it welcomed 12-year old Emmalee
Mason of Colorado Springs, Colorado, as she became the honorary two-billionth guest
to visit a Disney Park (nearly the combined populations of China and India).
Amidst a blast of colorful streamers, musical fanfare and a parade of
congratulatory Disney characters, Emmalee was whisked away to Disneyland’s iconic
Floral Mickey for a special ceremony. Surrounded by her family and familiar Disney
pals, Emmalee seemed to be in a simultaneous state of shock and delight, repeating
astonished sets of “Wow!” “Wow!” “Wow!”
In commenting on the day’s ceremony, Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney
Parks and Resorts, stated: “This is truly a highlight of our continuing global 50th
anniversary celebration. The world over families use words like ‘magical,’ ‘dreams,’
‘wonder,’ and ‘imagination’ to describe our five destination resorts around the world and
now thanks to Emmalee, our honorary two-billionth guest, we can add the word “Wow!”
Andrae Rivas, the 2006 Disneyland Resort Ambassador, presented Emmalee
with a giant golden key and a lifetime pass to all 11 Disney Parks around the world at
such distinct locales as Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Tokyo Disney Resort in
Japan, Disneyland Paris Resort in France and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in China
(which opened in September 2005), in addition to Disneyland Resort in southern
California. As an added surprise, the entire family of 10 (Emmalee, her mom and dad,
Mike and Michele, five sisters, one brother, plus a baby on the way) also received
lifetime passes to Disney Parks worldwide.
Rivas also gave Emmalee a one-of-a-kind proclamation designating her as the
honorary two-billionth guest to visit the Disney Parks over the past five decades.
During her special day Emmalee received a private photo session with her family and
Mickey Mouse, an exclusive tour of Disneyland Park and Disney’s California
Adventure Park, a special opportunity to ride an attraction with Mickey, and was feted
as Grand Marshal of Disneyland’s 50th anniversary parade.
“WOW! I’m in shock . . . I’m so happy!” exclaimed Emmalee. “I am just so
surprised. . . I didn’t think that I would be the 2 billionth guest . . . this kind of stuff
never happens to me!”

NOw whenever someone asks you 'Why do you keep going back there?' you can explain it really is the most magical place on earth. If it was Alton Towers she'd probably get a free hamburger meal!
