Since I am going on a DCL cruise in a few months, I read the cruise boards often. They had quite a buzz about it over there...Sorry don't know how to do a link. It seemed that the big announcement was a 2 million dollar contribution from Disney to the Make a Wish foundation that will benefit the southern California counties. They had alot of celebrities and they did it on the Magic on the eve of Disneyland's 50th anniversary. So I guess it is more of a presentation than an announcement...Good for Disney though!
They also officially announced the Finding Nemo sub ride. Previously it had just been a 'rumor'. The walls around the sub lagoon have now been painted with Nemo and friends.
