here's my guess:
I'm guessing that everyone will still be guessing as to what the announcement is on the morning of the 19th....
-
Another site posted about it possibly being a touring group to bring prizes to specific cities around the country to start off the next celebration...
They were putting out casting calls to alums it said.

That's what I heard, too, but that doesn't really fit too well with the press release.
What is the "first in the history of the Walt Disney Company"?

wow....convenient how they "unveiled" the new DVC units right before our eyes this morning.....and put feelers out for a "big" announcement on thursday....
this is just another tired marketing stunt....
and sadly, it's indicative of where things are going...
The economic times are getting progressively worse....we could be in for a real crash...not an "adjustment" or "slowdown" as the suits keep telling you.
and Disney is going to the place where they always go when travel bends back:
1. elimination of components of their parks
2. no new developments of any significance for the forseeable future
3. REALLY beating everybody over the head with DVC......(what happens when people don't have alot of cash laying around? sell timeshares to those that already have too much laying around)
not a good day for disney...in my opinion.
as much as the contemporary will probably be a hit.....i don't like that they felt the need to further exploit every square inch of the Saratoga area.....especially since i don't think they did a good job in providing enough amenities there already.

COPIED FROM ANOTHER SITE:
Our last tidbit is far more interesting however, and is the most likely concept due to it’s heavy detail. It seems a new mailer has been showing up looking for help from former Disney “College Program” members in select cities claiming that “Disney Parks” is going on tour around the country to “bring the magic of Disney” to 30 different cities over the Fall and Winter months. It goes on to describe how they want to roll out an army of colorful vehicles “from Town Square to Times Square” that will give away tons of free prizes, balloons and entire people to enter some big contest promotion to win a trip to one of the Disney Theme Parks. If true, this is clearly some kind of build up to next year’s big promotion to replace the Year of a Million Dreams. As for the army of themed cars traveling the roads of the country, it sounds like they’re borrowing a page from SeaWorld’s old Shamu Across America promotion from a few years back where Busch Entertainment rolled out about 30 custom painted themed VW Bettles that look like killer whales and sent them off to drive all around the country.
To cap off, we’ve been sent what looks like the rough unofficial list of 30 cities and dates that the tour may use. From the look of things, it looks like there will be three tour legs, one for the East Coast, one for the West Coast and one for the central states so I’ve divided things up by region.
West Coast Tour: Jan 19-Vancouver, Jan 21-Seattle, Jan 23-Portland, Jan 27-Sacramento, Feb 2-San Francisco, Feb 4-Frenso, Feb 9-Las Vegas, Feb 11-Salt Lake City, Feb 16-Denver, Feb 20-Phoenix
Central Tour Group: Sept 25-Minneapolis, Sept 29-Chicago, Oct 1-Milwaukee, Oct 3-Detroit, Oct 10-Pittburgh, Oct 8-Cincinnati, Oct 10-Indianapolis, Oct 14-Dallas, Oct 16-Houston, Oct 20-New Orleans
East Coast Tour: Sept 24-Toronto, Sept 29-Boston, Oct 1-Providence, Oct 3-New York, Oct 6-Hartford, Oct 8-Philadelphia, Oct 10-Baltimore, Oct 13- Washington DC, Oct 15-Charlotte, Oct 17-Atlanta.

I was upset when the plans for the 'America' theme park outside of Washington, DC was scrapped. We would have been about an hour and a half from it
Hopefully, they might try something like that again...

lockedoutlogic, why the negativity to Saratoga? Saratoga is a nice resort and as far as I know, it's not overcrowded. Disney, contrary to what some might think, isn't clueless and while yes, it is a business, consider how large America is and how small WDW is. There's LOTS of people who want DVC space. Be it Saratoga, Villas, BLT, etc. I personally like DVC, and at first, wasn't at all fond of it. It's a great program IMO and huge flexibility IMO.

Announcement
Whatever the announcement my browser is set for 12:00 PM, sounds exciting.

The only big news so far is that you can get into the parks for free on your birthday or anniversary in 2009.
Woo.
