What do you think the big announcement is going to be?!?!?!

saw this today ---

Quote:
Disney is planning to take advantage of the extra date added to the calendar in 2012 to promote their theme parks. Today Disney revealed they plan to offer "a special surprise announcement" on New Year's Eve.

The coming year is a Leap Year and it seems Disney intends to celebrate February 29, 2012 with something new as part of 2012 being dubbed "The Year of More Magic." Recent years' promotions offered guests opportunities to enter the parks for free, either on their birthdays or by volunteering their time. 2010's "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" was intended to allow guests to trade service for free admission throughout the year, but maxed out the free ticket offer within just a couple months. But it's not yet clear what Disney intends to offer for "leap day" in 2012.

Disney also notes plans to unveil "more than just Leap Year" in 2012, from regular special events including the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and Star Wars Weekends, to new additions like the debut of the first phases of New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom theme park, with Storybook Circus opening early in the year, followed by Fantasyland Forest, the Under the Sea: The Voyage of The Little Mermaid ride, and Be Our Guest restaurant opening near the end of 2012.

But those events and attractions aside, the "surprise announcement" remains just that. We've been told that during the recent taping of the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade, it was said that the announcement would take place during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, airing on Dec. 31 on Disney's ABC TV network. So we'll hear more about it when the Christmas Day Parade airs on ABC a week prior on Dec. 25.


What do you think its going to be?

I'm hoping the biggest decision I have to make in 2012 is who I'm going to take with me when I win the trip to Disney.

It's all nice and fun for the people who will be there for leap year, but overall I wasn't all that impressed. Of course, that doesn't stop me from entering to win! wink
