2009 Birthday Gift Alternatives

September 23rd, 2008

A lot of questions have been thrown around about this new “Birthday For Free” promotion they have going on at Disneyland for 2009. The most common question being “I have an annual pass and already can go for free, what do I get?” After digging through the official Disney FAQs about the promotion we have found your answers! Your options as an AP will be to choose ONE of the following:

1) A “Birthday Fun Card” (or gift card) that is good ONLY on your birthday for whatever the current price of a single day, single park ticket is on your birthday. Adults will get Adult value, kids will get the kid value. ($69 for Adults, $59 for Kids Right Now). You can use this card for merchandise, recreation, or fun activities at select participating locations.

2) Special birthday Fastpass for certain attractions at the park you visit that day. The fastpasses may not be available after 11AM and are good for you and up to 5 members of your party.

3) a Single Day, Single Park ticket that is good any day until your next birthday.

With that information I’m thinking there will be a lot of APs shopping at Disneyland on their birthday next year…

2009 Promotion Announced!

September 18th, 2008

In 2009 Jay Rasulo (Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts) asks us all a question, “What will YOU celebrate?”

2009 will be all about your celebrations at WDW and Disneyland Resorts. So far, the only part of this new promotion announced is special offerings for guests attending Disney theme parks on their birthday. The promotion begins with free admission, but if a guest already has paid for admission via AP or Park Hopper ticket, alternatives ranging from Merchandise Gift Cards to special FastPasses will be available for the celebratory guest to use only on the birthday.

Further special offerings (that will be available for purchase) were announced that range from special personalized Disney birthday cakes, to having a personalized big birthday bash in Big Thunder Ranch, all revolving around you planning your “Celebrtation Vacation” at WDW/Disneyland Resorts.

“We believe Disney parks are uniquely positioned for any celebration and offer the ultimate setting for marking a cherished milestone,” Rasulo said. “People trust Disney to make an occasion truly magical. And now more than ever, Disney will help guests seize those special moments and turn them into memories that will live forever in their hearts.”

Less Intense Indy Show Coming for Kids

June 24th, 2008

It’s now been reported that the new Indy show that is being performed in the Aladdin’s Oasis venue is set to have a few subtle changes. Though people seem to be loving the new show (especially smaller children who often get to participate in the show itself), Disney has decided to tone it down a little bit. They are saying that it is planned to remove several of the direct hit punches that Indy gives during the show. The reason is probably different than what you are thinking though. Audiences are loving the combat and exciting stunts, what seems to bug people is when Indy gives a direct punch to the bad guy (who happens to be a woman in this small scale show). People don’t like the fact that a woman is getting punched by a man right there in front of their kids. “There are things that can happen in a movie that just shouldn’t happen in a theme park,” says Glenn Kelman, Director of the show. What are your thoughts? Head on over to the message boards to share your opinion!
