I am trying to plan our family trip, before summer, but after spring break. Looking at the week after Mother's Day to avoid the Tinkerbell half marathon crowds. Would love to catch the 60th birthday celebration. Cannot find ANYTHING online confirming dates. THANKS!

nothing has been officially announced bUT tomorrow (wed) is the 1st media day for the 60th events. Thursday is the 2nd, and Friday the 30th is supposed to be the public release of info for the 60th. So, by next week, you'll have your info.

This is confusing. If you have 2 days of media previews, including 50 invited AP guests for the 28th, and then have an embargo on that information until the public release date for the 30th. Won't there some type of leak before then ???

Awesome! Even as a TA we know nothing. LOL

Embargo on official media and I wonder if they will limit cameras. Then again word if mouth is always strong.

@Disneyland posted on Twitter to follow them for all of the announced details for the 60th. So I guess all will be public tomorrow.

yes. so this was all of the entertainment. I bet there will be more attraction announcements later in the year (well, march or april).

here is a sample of the projections - Castle, MS, small world, matterhorn - https://twitter.com/dlandmom/status/560656689524117505/photo/1

Darn, I want to go that week, not after that week. Was planning Mon-Thursday of that week, but all of the entertainment starts Friday. And I'm sure it will be slammed with people and not really worth staying for the opening of those entertainments.

That weekend is Memorial Day so the crowds will be big just from that but combined with the celebration starting, I bet it will be CRAZY! I was thinking the first week of June, but that is the week before my kids get out of school and I cannot justify that with a middle schooler. PLUS Arizona schools, and some California schools will already be on break.

I would guess the celebration will continue for a year, like in the past, that is a lot of work to do just for the summer. Has anyone read or heard that? If so, I think we will plan an October trip, so it is after the summer crowds. I am sad, that is a long time for me to wait to go, oh and my kids too. :)

There was a rumor about an overnight party that weekend too.

I wonder though if that is the official day it **starts** but it really starts with soft openings (not totally reliable) for a few weeks beforehand.

Good thought. Hmmm, hard to plan around that. But you may be on to something.

Oh and I totally agree with your signature statement, about the stick shift and the amazing race. LOL

i can't see the this happening for a few weeks - maybe a week for the parade, no early fireworks, and WoC maybe a couple of shows. However, its so new they may do it all without previews.

I'm kind of hoping for an AP anniversary party that week. The week is missing Grad Nights. We're planning for Mon (18)-Thursday. I picked that week because the hotel prices were cheaper than the following week, one indicator that it will be less busy. There weren't any Grad Nights for some reason. And most schools are still in session. The rides are all supposed to be open around the 16th, so I was hoping the parades, etc., would begin. Ah well, the announcement suggested these things could last a few years. I know they're expensive, and I can't imagine them going back to the old WOC. I really wanted to see the new parade. Maybe they will have an AP party that week and do a showing of the new parade, I can hope right.

i am trying to not align it with the MSEP. It has the reason for it - but using LEDs, a new version of the music, and all new floats except for the bass drum, its a new parade to me. How Mack will fit with crowds down Main Street is beyond me. Its currently playing in Hong Kong but with a different soundtrack (you can find lots of video on YouTube).

With this announcement can we expect a price increase on tickets? I am planning a trip for beginning of December and wondering if I should by tickets soon.

Absolutely!! (Even without this announcement I'd expect a price increase every year).
I'm fairly confident it'll happen before summer.
