Jack-o'-Lantern and the Town Square Christmas Tree will be the symbols of
celebration for their respective holidays at Disneyland this fall. But the
traditional fan favorites are only the beginning as Disneyland Resort
welcomes new shows and immersive experiences, along with an exciting
preview of things to come at Disney's California Adventure park.

    It's all part of the fun as Disney Parks poses the question to guests:
"What Will You Celebrate?" Whether it's the holidays, an anniversary, a
family reunion or another special occasion, there's something for everyone
at Disneyland Resort.

    The fall season kicks off with a very special event: a
once-in-a-lifetime private party in Disneyland for teen sensation Miley
Cyrus. "Miley's Sweet 16 -- Share The Celebration" will take place Sunday
evening, Oct. 5, inside Disneyland. Miley will celebrate with family,
friends and fans, perform several songs, and recognize the outstanding
contributions of Youth Service America, an organization that seeks to
improve communities by increasing the number and diversity of young people
serving as volunteers.

    Beginning later in October, guests can enjoy an array of new
attractions at Disneyland Resort, adding to the fun of the Halloween and
Holiday seasons.

    -- HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: On Friday, Oct. 24, "High School Musical 3:
Right Here! Right Now!" premieres at Disney's California Adventure. The new
street show celebrates the infectious energy of the upcoming theatrical
motion picture "High School Musical 3: Senior Year." Featuring a cast of 14
dynamic singers and dancers, the show takes place on a traveling "rock
concert" stage. Interactive sequences featuring hot new songs from the
movie will draw guests into the streets of Disney's California Adventure
for an exciting live concert experience.

    -- PIXIE HOLLOW: The magical realm of Pixie Hollow appears in
Disneyland on Tuesday, October 28. Entering along a pathway with an
enchanted pool, between the entrances of Fantasyland and Tomorrowland,
guests are gradually immersed into the community of fairies. Guests will
get the strange feeling that they are shrinking to fairy size as they
encounter statues of Tinker Bell and her friends, and spot other evidence
of the pixies' presence. When guests arrive at Tinker Bell's home, they
will meet some of the pixies in person.

    -- BLUE SKY CELLAR: For those who want to stay in-the-know about the
expansion of Disney's California Adventure park, a preview center opens
Monday, Oct. 20 at the Golden Vine Winery in Disney's California Adventure.
The Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar -- named for the Imagineers'
'blue sky' creative process -- displays never-before-seen models and art
outlining the concepts and design for the park's coming attractions, along
with a video presentation. The showcase will be updated regularly so that
fans can stay abreast of developments.

    -- SLEEPING BEAUTY CASTLE WALKTHROUGH: Sleeping Beauty Castle, a
beloved Disneyland landmark since the park's debut in 1955, will open a
"reawakened" version of its classic Castle walkthrough in time for the
December holiday season. The new scenes inside the corridors tell the
Sleeping Beauty story with modern special effects technology that recreates
the look of the original Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough of the 1950s
through the 1970s.

    The new attractions and shows offer added value for Disney fans this
fall as they enjoy all the traditional holiday attractions at Disneyland
Resort.

    Halloween highlights at Disneyland include the 16-foot-tall Mickey
Mouse Jack-o'-Lantern on Main Street, U.S.A.; Woody's Halloween Roundup at
Big Thunder Ranch; and Haunted Mansion Holiday, inspired by Tim Burton's
"Nightmare Before Christmas," which continues into the Christmas season.

    At Disney's California Adventure, Halloween is celebrated at Candy Corn
Acres, featuring Goofy's whimsical candy corn "crops." Families also will
enjoy a fun and safe trick-or-treating experience at the separate-admission
nighttime Mickey's Trick-or-Treat party, with treat locations throughout
the park.

    The Christmas holiday season gets underway on Friday, Nov. 21, when the
traditional "A Christmas Fantasy" daily parade and "Believe ... in Holiday
Magic" fireworks make their seasonal debuts. The towering Christmas tree
appears on Main Street, U.S.A., and the decor and nighttime show
surrounding "Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle" will be will be more
spectacular than ever. The lights and effects that appear after dark extend
down Main Street, U.S.A., and to the Christmas tree at Town Square for a
sparkling transformation that sets the scene for "Believe ... In Holiday
Magic" fireworks with their magical snowfall finale.

    Additional holiday highlights include the return, Nov. 21, of the "it's
a small world holiday" attraction, celebrating holiday traditions around
the world. Guests will visit Santa Claus throughout the season at Santa's
Reindeer Round-up in Big Thunder Ranch, and those looking for a unique
experience will reserve time with a guide for Disney's Holiday tours.

    Disneyland Resort features two spectacular theme parks -- Disneyland
(the original Disney theme park) and Disney's California Adventure park --
plus three guest-welcoming hotels and the Downtown Disney District
comprised of unique dining, entertainment and shopping experiences. For
