Next year everyone will be able to come to a Walt Disney World theme park on their birthdays and get in free.
That’s the cornerstone of the 2009 national promotional campaign, “What will you celebrate?” announced today by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. Anyone showing up with a valid ID including proof of birthdate will get a free ticket on that day in 2009 for one of the theme parks at Disney World or at Disneyland in California.
Disney officials announced the promotion as their effort to cash in on what they described as a growing trend called “celebration vacations” — trips to vacation spots that people take to celebrate big birthdays, big anniversaries, honeymoons and other momentous personal occasions.
Disney World probably already gets a lions’ share of such vacations, according to a Ypartnership marketing survey that Disney commissioned. But until now the company has never put together a unified marketing campaign to attract such celebrations on a large scale. Read the rest of this entry…

Well looks like we are going to get our first hurricane of the season. I had to stop to get gas this morning before dropping my daughter off for school and it was a madhouse. Supplies have already been depleted at one of our local Walmart and Lowes stores. The computer models still have it all over the place, but it has already strengthened since 8 am this morning. Here is the latest on tropical storm (soon to be hurricane) Fay.
Tropical Storm Fay’s track took a major shift to the east. Channel 9’s Severe Weather Coverage Team is predicting the new track would have Central Florida feeling the effects sooner than expected, likely by Monday and Tuesday.
The storm would also be much weaker than anticipated, so the impact to Central Florida could be lessened.

And yet another bizarre twist in this story….Why the hell didn’t this supposed woman grab that child and take her to the nearest security guard??? I think this grandmother is full of it herself.
The 22-year-old mother of missing toddler Caylee Marie Anthony remains in the Orange County Jail this afternoon.
An Orange Circuit Court judge set Casey Anthony’s bond at more than half a million dollars yesterday afternoon, but her family has not been able to come up with the money to bail her out.
The person who posts her bail must pay 10 percent of the bond amount — $50,000 in cash — and have collateral to back the remaining balance.
Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, was not in the office Wednesday morning and unavailable to comment. However, Christina Baez, a college student working in her father’s law office, spoke to an Orlando Sentinel reporter on her father’s behalf.
Christina Baez said the Anthony family is hoping to bond Casey out of jail as soon as possible, but the bail is “outrageous.”
“The Anthony’s are a very strong family and they believe in their daughter’s innocence,” she said. “They’re pulling together as a family and trying to see what they can do for their daughter.”
Baez also spoke about a tip Casey Anthony’s mother, Cindy Anthony, received Tuesday from a woman who said she saw a girl who looks like Caylee at Orlando International Airport:
The woman told Anthony she was at OIA en route to Atlanta on July 2 when a girl approached her to play with her dog. The woman said she asked the girl what her name was. She said Caylee Marie Anthony. But she pronounced Anthony as “Antony.” Baez said that is how Caylee pronounced her last name.
“They were 99 percent sure that is the Caylee they’re seeing on TV,” Baez said.
On Tuesday, Orange County investigators released information during a bond hearing that pointed toward evidence of a homicide — however, officials are not saying Caylee is dead. Sheriff’s Office officials maintain they are working a missing person case, and not a homicide investigation.
