Confirmed Miley Cyrus Sweet 16, Oct 5th, Disneyland.

My question is...how do I convince Disney to let me have the Magic Kingdom for my 21st birthday and sell a limited amount of tickets for my guests to celebrate with me?

[I take the Ferry]

Magic Kingdom in WDW is closing at 3:00PM on October 3rd.. Rumor was it was for Miley, but with the Disneyland annoucement, guess that is out the window...

We talked with a friend who is a cast member, he said:

Miley was planning on having her party at WDW, and she requested the holiday lights on the castle. Then she changed her mind... she's going to be at DL now. But, WDW had already started getting the lights up, so they decided to go ahead and finish the job. That's why most of the lights are already on the castle, with 2 months to go until the first MVMCP.

I don't usually trust much "rumor" info that comes from a cast member. But this would explain the lights. Anyone remember when they started going up last year?

And if this is true, sounds like Miley has Mickey wrapped around her little finger. But we probably already knew that.

K, Slater!

That's a pretty big jump. By that same token how much good would all the money we spend at Disney do if WE used it for other purposes? A single day in the park could probably feed an entire family for a year in some countries. I'm not going to stop spending money at Disney and I doubt you (or any of us for that matter -it's a Disney board after all) will either.

Back to the topic at hand, the Disney / Miley partnership has made both of them a lot of money. Good for her and good for Disney, I've got no problem with them celebrating that and I'd happily raise a for any and all success you have as well.

I don't recall saying you or anyone should stop spending money at Disney. My point was, how is this an example of a night paying honor to Volunteerism? You took my post completely out of context ...

I bet if you were a driving force for The Disney Channel and were on a show that made billions and billions of dollars for The Disney Company, regardless of how your image might have been questionable Disney would jump at the chance to give you a whole park to celebrate your birthday ... it worked for Miley.

That might work...sign me up!!!

I personally do not agree with this. I hate special celebrity treatment. Always have and always will. I feel sorry for the people planning to be in DL at that time. Especially if they already had all of their plans in place. I also find it unfair to charge $250 for an event. Talk about going away from the original concept here.

^I wouldn't say they're giving Miley special treatment, it more seems like they're using her to make money. It isn't like they're closing the entire park for her and her friends, they're charging for tickets. Sounds more like she'll be in work mode than party mode.

I'm one of them and not thrilled the park went from being open until Midnight -- to closing at 5PM.

Ummm, yeah! I would be, too!

That's 7 hours of prime (and much needed) park time you're losing out on.

I'd be perturbed to say the least.

I wonder if the Disney powers that be are gonna video tape some of that party for promotional purposes. Kind of a waste of effort if they dont.

[jpH/keD]

Those prices are ridiculous! I wonder who dictates that. Whether it is Disney or the Cyrus camp? Regular little girls will not be able to go.
It was the same thing with her movie/concert thing. WAY over priced for us normal fans who don't make a million dollars a month! SHAME on Disney and Miley! Maybe it will rain!

[tinkwest]

... Maybe it will rain!

More likely than that is the possibility that it will be hot fire weather with strong Santa Ana winds.

I heard that they started to put the lights up early because they already had a crane on site and used it while it was there instead of paying to have another come out ? again it could be true and it could not be true.

I don't believe it was ever actually planned for Walt Disney World. They have pretty strict policies against this sort of thing there, as far as I've heard. The castle lights went up in September/October last year, too.

Disneyland is a different story. They have occasionally closed down lands for celebrity parties. Liz Taylor, Michael Jackson, and more recently Lindsay Lohan have all celebrated birthdays there and had the park, or parts of it, closed to general public. This is nothing new for Disneyland. It would have been shockingly out of character (no pun intended) for Disney World.

Thank goodness I'm going home that day! (Oct. 5th!)
