"What Will You Call This Promotion?"

Just when you thought the name problems plaguing the Toy Story Midway Mania attraction were as confusing as it gets, Disney has outdone themselves. Many of you probably remember when we first reported in May 2008 about the marketing campaign for Disney Parks that would revolve around celebrating special milestones in life and would be titled “Magical Celebrations”. Since that report 8 months ago, the campaign has begun at the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts under the already conflicting titles “What Will You Celebrate?”, “Celebrate Today!” and “Celebrate Everyday!”. Now, one month into this “celebration”, we have Disney actually using the “Magical Celebrations” title for a new sweepstakes.

"I Went to Disney World!"

Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes, wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, rides Feb. 2, 2009 in a celebratory parade with Mickey Mouse in the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Holmes’ visit to Walt Disney World was part of Disney Parks’ new “What Will You Celebrate?” initiative. The wide receiver, who caught the game-winning pass in the Super Bowl, co-starred with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the famous “I’m Going to Disney World!” commercial which aired after the game. (Kent Phillips, photographer) Of course, this report would be incomplete [...]
