Confession # 21: Not Impressed

with the new 2013 Disney Park promotional theme: 

Limited Time Magic

Imagine an Independence Day celebration — only it lasts an entire week — or Main Street mainstays the Dapper Dans rocking out with boy band hits in barbershop style. Picture yourself at a Friday the 13th dance party with Disney villains that lasts to the 13th hour or a Valentine's Day that becomes Valentine's Week with Disney castles blushing pink. These and many more special experiences will surprise Disney Parks Guests as they roll out each week in 2013. Here's a sampling of Limited Time Magic in store for Guests — for a limited time only:

• 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 salute America with a Fourth 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 U.S.A. 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. Photos opps with characters that could include Flik, Clarabelle Cow, Remy, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum will appear throughout the parks. 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 resorts 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's 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.
  

The experience of the week will be announced in a variety of ways, including in-park, Disneyworld.com, Disneyland.com, Facebook, Twitter and the Disney Parks Blog - adding to the element of surprise. For more information about Limited Time Magic, visit the Disney Parks Blog.

Begins in January.

For 52 weeks.

Big whoop.

I was really hoping for the Free Birthday-Day Celebration to return.
