I guess I'm assuming that there will be magic happening all year long. So, yes, locals will be able to take advantage all year long -- like they can no matter what the promotion is. But the point is, that when you are there -- whenever that may be -- there will be something unexpected for you to discover, track down, and enjoy! There will be surprises awaiting you on your visit...ones that you can not pre-plan and schedule around...because then they would not be surprises!

It sounds like there won't be calendars and schedules and announcements of these themes and events...and instead, the information will be "leaked" using online outlets and social media...which makes for unexpected, last-minute, hurry-or-you'll-miss-it, can't-believe-your-luck, did-you-hear-what's-happening-right-now magic!
This sounds so exciting to me.
Don't get me wrong, I am as hardcore a planner as most of us here. I plan out nearly every detail of our trip before we go.
But doesn't that dash of the unexpected appeal to you? The idea that despite all the planning and the show schedules and the meet-and-greet strategies and the parade viewing plans and the ADRs that have been in place for half a year...that something entirely unscheduled might reveal itself at the last minute? Something that you've never even read about?
It's this aspect of the promotion that I think is great! I hope they don't reveal calendars and schedules for these events; it would defeat the whole spirit of the theme! Clearly some dates have already been announced, but I hope that as the year unfolds, most of the events are kept as true magical surprises.
I know I would love to discover something entirely unexpected on my next trip! That's magic!

Just seems a bad marketing move to use a negative term like limited. That's just me though.
starclassic said:i don't see it as negative. I see it as motivating. It's also a fact. Life is limited, our time is limited, so don't wait, carpe diem.
yolo.
How about this?

And what a great picture!!! That thing looks huge!Went outside for lunch today and snapped this picture of the Ice Castle
Exactly! You and I are completly in sync lynypixie!!! Over the years I have had many people say rude things about my kids not remembering it or why I would spend so much money when they are too young to enjoy it...
They dont get it or they choose not to. My DS3 was so over the top to meet Darby, Pooh and Tigger from "his show" - they were now officially his buds! And my DD3 believed she met the real Tiana when she was Tiana courtesty of BBB and that Naveen was confused which one was the "real" Tiana! Then as soon as we entered Pixie Hollow just before close in Toontown, Rosetta ran to DD3 - so excited to see a little girl in HER dress and made a huge deal of my DD3 and also made for one of our most memorable moments of her young life.
The time to have the experiences I list above IS limited... obviously there are many other magical moments to be had, but each visit is different as we all age and have other life experiences.
In english it might not be pretty, but it is true. If you can do it, do it. Time does fly! While the often used english phrase "available for a limited time" makes for catchy ad copy and is pretty commonplace, I totally LOVE the french word and description you give - far more pretty:
Éphémère means something that lasts only a short moment.
But still the same essential meaning. Thanks SO much for the bonding moment!
I wish you and your little girl a most magical trip! By 4.5 my DD was transitioning from princesses into barbies... she still enjoys Disney a ton at age 6 but it is different and going during that "believing" phase is a complete joy!
