It appears as a class entitled, of course, "What Will You Celebrate?".
Thanks for the heads up glen. :) I've been overlooked....again. :cool: Hopefully I'll remain overlooked. This is the way I like it. ;)

Just wanted to answer this question (and have the opportunity to wear my Wicked Witch of the East hat, lol :p :)

"What Will You Celebrate? promotion brings new Celebration Dining options to the Disneyland Resort"

We will be keeping the "Happiest Birthdays on Earth"/"My Disneyland Birthday Celebration" at the Plaza Inn. The Sorcerer Mickey theme will be swept away in favor of a new "Celebrate You" theme.

There will also be a new show element, the specifics of which are not available at the moment (though given the theme of this whole thing as shown so far, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it involves a fleet of rouge roving Mickey Balloons :p :) .

Well I went to the special "Town Hall" class/meeting with regards to the What Will You Celebrate promotion.

In addition to the stuff about the new promotion, there were also some things about the DLR Expansion and some other stuff, which, IMO, seems to be the laying the foundations for introducing the basics from WDW. Alas, nothing that hasn't already been covered in official Press Releases or on one of the Disney Fan Sites

Those of you at WDW, if you haven't received this class yet, you will be getting it very soon - the 'What Will You Celebrate?' class materials we received reference both the DLR and WDW, as well as DCL.

As to how the class went, for something that was being referred to as a Town Hall meeting, there was a lot of them telling us stuff, and very little of us actually saying much of anything.

We did get to hear the promotional music in its entirety. Still a catchy tune, I say, :p: .

In IMBese, that's known as a sheep dip session.

So much for my smugness. DL nailed me, but not my dogs! :) Had to take the WWYC class. Coke & cookies were worth it. When DL Security had to take WWYC class I knew my time was up. Security had a very different class than we did. Their video was not even the same. Far better than stores - showed many more DL CMs in their roles. I'm beginning to think each dept. may have a slightly diff video. Our video concentrated on DCA more - yet this is rehab land so I suppose this was valid. Main Street was not brought up much. :( Was told if I didn't make the class it was no big deal as I could go anytime in Dec. Went last night. Agony is something I'd rather get out of the way. Much of our new merch looked very cool. :cool:

(While I don't claim to be a health expert, I feel that I should add a disclaimer. Portions of this link may inadvertantly trigger seizures in certain people, particularly those with photosensitive epilepsy)

Am I the only one who thinks that Corbin Bleu's new music video made for this promotion is somewhat...for lack of a better word, overdone.

I mean, it's brightly flashling lights combined with hallucinogenic imagery and random shots of the Magic Kingdom Park :rolleyes: .

I already lost breakfast today and boy that video had me nausous and they are flashing so fast as he is so ugly. Where are my dog clippers as I would start with shaving of his puli look and then some cosmetic surgery.

Thanks for the warning and I am only mildly photosensitive that I know of but not epileptics related. I will be back after get my tummy to calm down.

Looks like they borrowed U2's last tour set up.
