What's the new special after 50th celebration?

[mickey4ever]

I've noticed that the $1500 for a week special with the tickets ends on 9/30/06, so I was wondering if anyone heard anything about what the new special would be on 10/1/06? Do you think that it would have something to do with Epcot and its 25 year anniversary?

Word is the 50th will run until end of this year.

But one wag here said to get ready for the next big push...

"Disney Parks' Fifty-FIRST Anniversay".

here's a thought on 10/1/2006 it will be the 35th anniversary of the MK at WDW...... ....could be a party!!?? Hopefully they will not briing back the pink castle cake from the 25th...

MK's 35th anniversary is 10/1/06 as well as EPCOT's 25th anniversary on the same date - but I don't think there is anything planned.

I don't see why they have to have a celebration every year - there never used to be unless it was for a major anniversary - WDW 10, 15, 20 and 25th; I believe DL did the same up through the 40th.

I don't need a celebration to get me to WDW - any excuse will do!

Epcot's 25th is actually 10/1/07. However, MK's 35th is indeed 10/1/06.

The Happiest Celebration on Earth will end on 9/30/06.

I suspect that there could be a gap between celebrations, though, this year.

I remember taping the daylong events from DL's 35th off a cable channel. I don't remember a push for tourism but then it wasn't someplace I thought I would have gone (then hubby hated to fly) so maybe I just didn't pay attention to that part. I guess we'll just wait and see....although I'm with the PP I don't need an excuse....just a plane ticket

I wonder if MNSSHP has been enough of a draw that they don't need any other big promotion for October? Anyone know how big of an effect MNSSHP has had on room reservations/packages for October?

I read in the Disney Insider that Pooh celebrates his 50th birthday this year. I read that he got his star in Hollywood too! Maybe WDW will do something special surrounding this event also.

Ewww... I remember the pink cake / Castle. That was horrible. On the other hand, I did find a postcard from one of the first times we went to epcot, back when it first opened.

I remember that pink cake! Yuck! The castle is so beautiful and that pink cake was so tacky...I remember being there when Magic Kingdom celebrated their 10th anniversary....The blue color they used in their decorating was so beautiful...It looked almost like an ice blue...very very pretty
