"What Will You Celebrate" Tour ?

[wildfan1473]

Does anyone have any more information on this? I live outside Minneapolis, where the tour is scheduled to be next week, but I cannot find any information on time, location, nothing. I've checked our local papers, the local Disney radio website, local venues - nada. Anyone know anything?

Well, that doesn't help, it just says "Minneapolis." I'm guessing Mall of America, isn't that where everything is held these days?

To the OP...Disney hasn't done a press release regarding the times/specific locations within each city, but after hours of looking I have finally found this link: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=351229&page=4

To MinnesotaChill - I guess you were wrong.

Hey everyone...

I just got the okay to be a part of the Minneapolis street team! We'll be hitting the streets on Thursday next week. I'll see what I can do about taking pics and posting a review of the event.

For those of you who will be around, our "home base" will be the Minneapolis Hilton.

Disneybridein2K3, THANK YOU ! I've been checking the newspapers, Mall of America, convention center, sports arenas, you name it. I had checked some other boards, too, but hadn't come across that one. It's still not a lot of information, but we're getting somewhere. I'm already pulling the kids out of school in the AM to take them to the city to go to the dentist, so hopefully the times will somewhat coincide.

Does it seem odd that the Disney would not market this more? They are coming to Minneapolis in 4 days and there is very little information if any besides they are coming to Minneapolis in 4 days.

If anyone hears anything besides what is above this post please post ASAP..

Thanks!

Another Bostonian here!! Who wants to know where?

I looked this morning for info for Indy. All I could find on the Disney website was the date, which is Oct. 10th. You'd think, since this tour has already started, that more info would be readily available.

You are welcome - happy to be able to help, even if it was just a little.

okay, it isn't much, but here is what I found - http://www.downtowncrossing.org/events/event_detail.php?id=908
Come get a free Mickey Mouse Balloon (while supplies last) and register for a chance to win a Disney Parks vacation! 11-5 (but still doesn't list where!)

After searching and searching, I haven't found anything on Indy or the city I was looking for (Washington DC) . But I did find some info on Toronto on the disneyworldtrivia.com site:

I'm from Toronto and they stop here next Wednesday. It was announced on the local news station that the are going to be at Union Station (the main train and subway terminal) for morning rush hour (5-9) and then at the Toronto Blue Jays game in the evening. I think it is going to be stops like this everywhere.
Here is the official press release for the Toronto stop:
DETAILS: Disney Parks brings the “What Will You Celebrate?” message in a magical and interactive way to 30 cities this fall and winter, with Toronto being the first stop on the Eastern leg of the tour on September 24. Colourful vehicles – a party on wheels – roll out the fun with thousands of free Mickey Mouse balloons at Toronto’s Union Station in the morning (5am to 9am) and with plenty of exciting surprises at Rogers Centre for the Blue Jays game in the evening. The “What Will You Celebrate?” Tour also offers a chance to win a “celebration vacation” to a Disney park and the opportunity to register for a special birthday celebration surprise.

I'd love to know where too! I'd like to go on my lunch break but info is nonexistent.

Hey neighbor! I live in Bloomington and am anxiously awaiting ANY info as well.

Minneapolis update...

I just got some info today about the Minneapolis event on Thursday...

We're meeting at the Minneapolis Hilton - 1001 Marquette Ave S.

Meeting at 10:30 and will go until 2 or 3 pm.

Street Team will be in groups of two and stationed or walking in a 3-4 block vicinity of the staging area (Hilton).

Members will be in plain colored collared shirts and khaki shorts/capris. We will have disney windbreakers as well.

We will be giving away 5,000 Mickey balloons with info on the new celebration attached (this will weigh down the balloons). We will be "inviting" guests to celebrate their special moments with Disney.

The balloons will be eco-friendly (which will please the Minneapolitans).

They've also sent me a "reminder" of typical Disney training... i.e. Disney Look, Disney Point, language, stay in character, etc. along with a video to watch about the balloons.

This doesn't sound that terribly exciting - I thought there might be some kind of small parade or something, maybe a character or 2.

I am in touch with one of the event planners to try and volunteer (as a WDWCP alum) and she didn't have any info on the time/place (Dallas)yet either for me. I guess it's being very closely held to the vest for now for some reason.

The official website http://www.disneyparkscelebrations.c...-schedule.aspx has been updated with locations. In Minneapolis, they will be on Nicollet Mall. No times have been posted. Will this be worth it to pull both one of my kids out of school to go to ?

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

That last link is not working for me. I am looking for any information on the Philadelphia or Baltimore tours

 

[fakereadhed]

The mall tour sounded OK, but now that they posted the locations I have a decision to make.

Let's see...a trip thru the worst part of Detroit with my small child for a Mickey balloon...or stay home. Hmmm.....

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Philadelphia info found: Market street between 16th and 20th I am guessing the same time frame 10-2 ish. No Baltimore info is released yet.

 

[exwdwcm]

the Dallas one is actually at one of the high end malls, so it should be nice (Northpark Mall on oct 14th). NOw just waiting on times and to see if I can volunteer or not. Hopefully i can sneak out of the office for a few hours to help.
