Walt Disney World visitors to get in free on their birthdays

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.

Reply to this post and I'll pick seven of your interests for you to explain in your journal. Post this with your explanations so others can join the explaining fun!

umeedmerchant asked about the following:

1. news anchor kinks - There's something about the polished appearance and gravitas of a news anchor (both genuine and fake) that genuinely lights a fire within. I can't really explain it any further. Brian Williams on SNL broke my brain.

2. rediscovering unfinished projects - Every now and then I'll come across some unfinished craft project that I had tossed aside for whatever reason. Usually, just happening across it is enough to reignite interest in finishing it.

3. enviga - Enviga is a sparkling green tea energizer that I drink when it's too hot for coffee. (I'm not a fan of iced coffee.)

4. pop century resort - The Pop Century Resort is the hotel of choice for when expatiates and I jet down to Disneyworld. Each building within the resort represents a different decade - the 50's through the 90's - and is decorated with gigantic pop culture sculptures pertaining to each one. I took some photos during one of our visits. You can see them here.

5. lonesome trio - Lonesome Trio is a bluegrass band featuring Ed Helms. Their website is here. Ed is the vocalist on "All Gone To Hell".

6. johnson & wales university - JWU is the university I dropped out of late last year. I actually should have deleted this from my interests, lol.

7. kendall payne - Kendall Payne is a musician I saw/met during Lilith Fair '99. I enjoy her music, despite its Christian/inspirational genre. The lyrics are subtle enough for this secular girl to enjoy. ;)
