Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers latest Super Bowl winner “Going to Disney World!”
Aaron Rodgers, quarterback of the Green Bay Packers and Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XLV, is “Going to Disney World!” as the 44th celebrity to utter the famous phrase in the iconic series of commercials. The Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 to win the National Football League’s championship game. Rodgers’ commercial kicks off the 25th year of spots. He will be celebrated at a special parade on Main Street, U.S.A. today at 2:15 p.m.
Passholder event celebrates Everest’s 5th anniversary
Expedition Everest will celebrate its official anniversary about a month early with a special passholder event. The attraction, which officially opened on April 7, 2006 (though it was in soft-open status for over two months at that point). The Passholder event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 5, from 6-9 p.m.
There is no additional cost for after-hours rides on the attraction, but you must sign up in advance. Reservations begin at noon next Friday, February 18. You’ll be able to sign up at the Passholder Web site (link). If history is any indication, the event could sell out in a quickly, so be ready to try for tickets as soon as registration opens. Every member of your party will need to present an event ticket, a valid Passholder ID and a photo ID to attend.
Whether they will actually manage to get the Yeti animatronic to work for the event is unknown, but unlikely.

Tables in Wonderland, the discount dining program available to Annual Passholders and Florida residents, is hosting two exclusive special events in February and March:
On Thursday, February 17, there will be another Discovery Dinner at The Wave … of American Flavors at the Contemporary Resort, with a 6:30 p.m. reception and 7:00 p.m. dinner. The $92 price includes tax and gratuity.

Reservations are first-come, first-served. You will need to provide your credit card number over the phone at the time of confirmation.
Walt Disney World offers a special virtual passholder pin on Gowalla
Back in November, we told you about a deal between Disney Parks and Gowalla, an Internet-based social networking game, where users could collect virtual official Disney badges by “checking-in” to various locations within the Walt Disney World and Disneyland resorts. Disney has now added a special “exclusive” Passholder virtual pin. The pin can be earned by checking in to four specific locations, one in each of the Walt Disney World theme parks.
Since Gowalla will not ask you for your pass number, it’s uncertain how this will be a passholder exclusive other than Disney only announcing it on the Passholder Web site. While the fan community has begun spreading word about the four locations across the Internet, we’ll play along with Disney and direct you to the Passholder Web site (link). Two of the locations will not actually be operational until early March, though it’s been reported that at least one of those two stamps is already available for check-ins.
This is the first known “tour” that Disney has announced as exclusive to a certain group. If you do check in at the four locations, please let us know whether you get the pin or not, or whether it asks for additional validation of your pass. We’re interested to see how the “exclusivity” works.
Star Wars Weekends start to coincide with reopening of Star Tours
The dates for this year’s Star Wars Weekends have been announced, and (as expected) the opening weekend will be May 20-22, as Star Tours is officially scheduled to reopen on May 20. Of course, it’s likely that there will be a special Star Tours event for the Destination: D23 convention the week before, probably another event for Passholders, and maybe a soft-open for the general public prior to May 20, but time will tell on those pre-open possibilities.
The full dates for Star Wars Weekends are:
- May 20 to 22
- May 27 to 29
- June 3 to 5
- June 10 to 12
At this time, only two celebrities have been announced, with Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) appearing the first two weekends, and Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka Tano) appearing all four weekends as Celebrity Host of “Clone Wars: Behind the Force.”
We already know that C-3PO will serve as your pilot in Star Tours: The Adventures Continue when the attraction reopens, so it’s fairly certain that Daniels will have quite a bit to say about that at this year’s event.
Star Wars creator George Lucas was spotted at Disneyland’s Star Tours location last week reviewing the attraction thus far with Imagineers. Lucas reportedly gave the work to date a thumbs-up.
Disney College Program starts recruiting season
The Disney College Program is celebrating 30 years. If you’re a college student now is the time to sign up for the Walt Disney World College Program for Fall 2011 and Fall Advantage 2011. In order to interview for the program, you must first attend a live information session (link) or view an online version of the presentation (link).

Quick takes …
…Splash Mountain returned from refurbishment last week with a new addition: lap bars in the ride vehicles. Reports so far are that the bars are not uncomfortable, and that they aren’t appreciably delaying loading and unloading of the ride. If you’ve ridden the new version of the ride, let us know what you thought.
…It appears that the class-action lawsuit against Disney over the use of personal Segway mobility devices in the theme parks has gotten even more convoluted. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has gotten involved and—during the course of the court action—passed revised regulations for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) aimed specifically at the use of Segways in theme parks. These new regulations say that theme parks could pre-qualify Segway users by asking for a letter from a doctor that the device is medically necessary. Of course, asking for such a letter is already against ADA regulations. DOJ did not resolve that contradiction. Stay tuned for what promises to be an extended battle. For much more detail, check out the story on the DISunplugged blog (link).
…Rumors are circulating that the Enchanted Tiki Room – Under New Management will reopen at the end of March, still under its new management. The attraction has been closed since it was damaged by a fire in January. The date has not yet been confirmed. Despite that, the attraction still does not appear on the list of closures on the Walt Disney World website.
…The changing world that we live in has intruded upon the itineraries of the Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney. The Disney Magic will be bypassing Tunis during its Mediterranean voyages this summer, and will instead stop at Palermo, Italy. The Disney Wonder is bypassing Mazatlan, Mexico, until further notice, currently subsituting a second stop at Cabo San Lucas. Adventures by Disney has cancelled all itineraries for Egypt in 2011.
…Passholders will again get a chance to sit in a suite to watch a Major League Baseball spring training game, with the Atlanta Braves in Champion Stadium at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. On Saturday, March 12 (against the New York Mets) and Sunday, March 20 (against the Houston Astros), passholders can get a seat on the suite level, a commemorative game program, and an assorted “ballpark buffet” lunch, served from noon to 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $85 including tax for guests age 10 and up, and $75 for guests ages 3-9. Suites will open at 11:30 a.m. for the 1:05 p.m. games. To order your tickets, call 407-938-3223. Valid Passholder ID is required, and tickets are limited.
…The rescued Chilean miners were feted as Grand Marshals of a special parade on Main Street, U.S.A. last Monday, where the “Mayor” of Main Street proclaimed their special day. Later in the day, the miners spoke with children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida.
…Playing the name game to better link with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, El Pirata y el Perico in the Adventureland has been renamed Tortuga Tavern. While decór and theming will be updated to reflect the latest in piratical appearance, the location will remain seasonal and the menu will also remain the same.
…Based on a permit for Future World electrical sidewalk improvements at Epcot, it would appear that they will either remove the embedded lights in the pavement or enhance them. If anybody knows which, please let us know.
…The Jake and the Never Land Pirates segment of the rebranded Disney Junior—Live on Stage! show were written by one of the writers for the TV show. The show opens in the former Playhouse Disney—Live on Stage! theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on March 6.
…Peter S. Rummell, former president of the Disney Development Company and chairman of Walt Disney Imagineering, has been elected as chairman of the Urban Land Institute, a non-profit education and research institute which provides leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.
…Registration is now open for the Expedition Everest Challenge (link). The Champion 5K during ESPN The Weekend (link) is also open. Sign up now.
…The 2011 Disney’ Princess Half Marathon (scheduled for February 27) is 98 percent full for individual and team registrations. Disney’s Royal Family 5K and Kids’ Races are each 85 percent full. If you want to run any of these races, time is running out. You can register at the official event Web site (link).
