Halloween hasn’t even passed yet, but Disney has announced its 2013 promotion dubbed “Limited Time Magic” as Christmas preparation gets underway across the Resort. Holiday merchandise is hitting the shelves as Christmas lights and decorations go up around Sleeping Beauty Castle, on “it’s a small world” and in New Orleans Square. Meanwhile, at Disney California Adventure, the park’s new Buena Vista Street and Cars Land areas prepare to decorate for their first holiday seasons. In Downtown Disney, the new Tinker Bell-themed ice skating rink is open for business as the nearby Earl of Sandwich restaurant gets close to being finished.

Disney announces ‘Limited Time Magic’

On Wednesday, Disney announced its new U.S. theme park promotion for 2013. The announcement for the new promotion called “Limited Time Magic” came in the form of a giant ice castle unveiled in New York City’s Times Square.
Disneyland refurbishments, Disneyland refurbishments start to wrap up as the holidays approach

Disney’s Press Release describes the promotion as “52 weeks of magical experiences big and small that appear, then disappear as the next special surprise debuts.” In short, the year-long celebration will will change every week, bringing a new special temporary experience to the parks. According to the Huffington Post, Disney is planning on relying heavily on online social media including blogs and Twitter to tell guests what the new offering each week is.

Only a few of the special experiences were mentioned in the official announcement, with the “Dapper Dans Sing Boy Bands” week drawing some harsh criticism from the online fan community:

  • True Love: Celebrate romance and enchantment throughout Valentine’s Week with special moments and entertainment geared to lovebirds. Guests can celebrate their Valentine as Magic Kingdom and Disneyland turn up the romance, complete with their iconic castles bathed in hues of red and pink. Disney Princes join their Princesses to meet park guests in special settings, prix fixe menus turn up at select restaurants and Valentine collectibles will be offered for the week.
  • Independence Week: It’s red, white and blue as Disney Parks salutes America with a 4th of July Fireworks Party — for an entire week, with patriotic lighting bathing the Disney castles on both coasts. Mickey Mouse appears in his patriotic finest and guests will find special USA shirts, Ear Hats and other limited-edition souvenirs.
  • During “Long Lost Friends Week,” lesser-known Disney characters will move from the shadows to the spotlight with meet-and-greets on both coasts. Photo opps with characters that could include Flik, Clarabelle Cow, Remy, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum will surprise and delight guests. And Disney guests will even have the chance to vote online for which characters they want to see.
  • Pirate Week: Why talk like a pirate one day when you could celebrate these scalawags all week long? The adventures of Jack Sparrow come to life like never before during a bicoastal buccaneer bash in which Disneyland and Walt Disney World become pirate-palooza: pirate bands, pirate meet-and-greets and more.
  • Dapper Dans Sing Boy Bands: Dapper Dans, the iconic quartet from Main Street, U.S.A., will add a special finale to their show, claiming the title of the “Original Boy Band” and delivering a medley of hits from One Direction, *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.
  • Unleash the Villains: A Friday the 13th in 2013 is a special day, so Disneyland and Disney Hollywood Studios are staying open until the 13th Hour (1 a.m.). Maleficent, Capt. Hook, Jafar and other Disney villains host a dance party, complete with limited-edition collectibles and nighttime mischief on Sept. 13.
  • Golden Horseshoe Revue: The fabled Frontierland show returns to Disneyland for one month only, bringing back the corny jokes and enduring songs that were often enjoyed by Walt Disney himself.

Disney released a video showing the creation of the Limited Time Magic ice castle.

Cinderella made an appearance at the Times Square announcement wearing her newly re-designed ball gown that the face character will now wear in the parks during meet-and-greets.

Christmas Countdown

Disneyland may still be decked out for Halloween, but the first signs of the holidays are emerging across the park. Preparations get underway early to meet the November 12 launch of Disneyland’s incredibly popular holiday season. In the Central Plaza and at Sleeping Beauty Castle, Christmas lights are already strung up in the tress and shrubbery.

Looks like the scrims that were added to the facade for the now-defunct “The Magic, The Memories and You!” show will remain in-place. It’s a small thing, but the facade looks better without them.

Like at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure is now getting ready for the busy holiday season and the park will be taking no shortcuts in decking out its new Buena Vista Street and Cars Land for their first holiday season.

A lot of eye bolts have been screwed into the facades along Buena Vista Street, ready for garland and 1930s-style decorations.

The store also recently started offering these new princess shirts for girls, featuring wildly off-model takes of the princesses. They seem to be getting the attention of shoppers, but I really don’t think Disney princesses really need to be aiming for hip-and-edgy.
