Christmas is over so I need my next big planning/excitement fix . Ella's birthday is this month and all the ideas I've found are intoxicating- however something else keeps creeping into my brain....
WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!!
I'm Incurable.
Maybe it's the annual New Years Eve promotional announcement during Rockin' New Years Eve.
Or maybe it's because the girls dance studio is currently there with the older girls for competitions and posting gorgeous photos.
Quite likely it's because that my cousin and her husband came in to visit yesterday and having just returned from the Most Magical Place on Earth and wanted to compare notes.
More than likely its just the allure of Disney World is strong enough on its own to make fans continually dream of going back. Well played, Uncle Walt, well played.
And so it begins....
As I just mentioned Disney just announced their yearly promotional- and what fun it will be!
This is the year of Limited Time Magic.
Initially it's sounds kind of disappointing.
Limited? At Disney World?!
But what it really means is Limited time Special magic.
Normal everyday magic still abounds-limitless.
The Limited Time Magic is comprised of special events, souvenirs, guests and activities sprinkled throughout the year- lasting only a limited time. Many cases lasting a week- sometimes a day as September 13 when Villains will roam the park. And yes, that 13th is a Friday....
Some magical events Disney has alluded to include week long celebrations of special days.
In fact, Wdw had a week long Bling in the New Year week that ended last night. One feature of this celebration was characters appearing in their New Years party garb.
Disney in its first announcement says :
True Love: Celebrate romance and enchantment throughout Valentine’s Week with special moments and entertainment geared to lovebirds. Disney Princes join their Princesses to meet park guests in special settings, prix fixe menus turn up at select restaurants and Valentine’s collectibles will be offered for the week.
Independence Week: It’s red, white and blue as Disney Parks salutes America with a 4th of July Fireworks Party — for an entire week, with patriotic lighting bathing the Disney castles on both coasts. Mickey Mouse appears in his patriotic finest and guests will find special USA shirts, Ear Hats and other limited-edition souvenirs.
Long Lost Friends Week: Lesser-known Disney characters will move from the shadows to the spotlight meet-and-greets on both coasts. Photo opps with characters that could include Flik, Clarabelle Cow, Remy, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum will surprise and delight guests. And Disney guests even have the chance to vote online for which characters they want to see.
Pirate Week: Why talk like a pirate one day when you could celebrate these scalawags all week long? The adventures of Jack Sparrow come to life like never before during a bicoastal buccaneer bash in which Disneyland and Walt Disney World become pirate-palooza: pirate bands, pirate meet-and-greets and more.
Dapper Dans Sing Boy Bands:
The Dapper Dans, the iconic quartet from Main Street, U.S.A., will add a special finale to their show, claiming the title of the “Original Boy Band” and delivering a medley of hits from One Direction, *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.
Unleash the Villains: Friday the 13th in September 2013 is a special day, so Disneyland park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are staying open until the 13th hour (1 a.m.). Maleficent, Captain Hook, Jafar and other Disney Villains host a dance party, complete with limited-edition collectibles and other nighttime mischief.
Golden Horseshoe Revue: The fabled Frontierland show returns to Disneyland park for one month only, bringing back the corny jokes and enduring songs that were often enjoyed by Walt Disney himself.

What I gather is if you to to WDW during any random holiday- expect a weeklong theme geared to that day.
Weeks not having a holiday will have random pixie dust sprinkled on them.
I'd love to see some of the characters they hint about as our autograph books are nearly complete with the usual characters. In general I think they need to be either adding or rotating in some different characters from time to time. Even if just on weekends. Limited time magic or not!
Most experiences will be kept secret but announced the Friday before they begin. Limitedtimemagic.com is supposed to update with each announcement.
What possibilities would you like to see in this promotion?
I think in October a Haunted Mansion week would be great with the hitch hiking ghosts walking about and the infamous Lady with the parasol in the crocodile mouth doing meet and greets.
Maybe Nightmare Before Christmas characters making their rounds? Currently they appear at other parks (Disney land and Paris) but not WDW. Much to my 9 year olds dismay.
In addition to the magical events Disney announced a new sweepstakes . Go to http://disneytimesweeps.com/
To enter.
One vacation will be awarded every day in January! Good luck and May the pixie dust be with you!!
If that wasn't enough (is it enough?) 2013 has been deemed the Year of the Ear.
Each month a new special limited release set of ears will appear.
January kicked off with five new couture ears. See them here http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/01/five-new-disney-couture-ear-hats-kick-off-year-of-the-ear-at-disney-parks/
These are my favorite:
If you've been wavering on whether To go on a Disney vacation this sounds like it could be an exciting year to try!
There will be more promotions to come, keep an eye out for the free dining promotion that has happened the last eleven years from mid August through September.
It makes a Disney vacation much make affordable.
Also discounted room rates up to 30% are offered at various times.
Currently spring vacations February 18- March 23 and April 2 - June 14 are being included in this promo.
Check it out Here
You can book your Disney vacation up to 500 days in advance and make payments if that works best for you. You can change dates, rooms etc without a fee up unil 45 days before your check in date!
