Walt Disney World’s and Disneyland’s 2013 promotional celebration was announced today, and it will feature 52 weeks of small celebrations dubbed “Limited Time Magic.” This “Limited Time Magic” campaign replaces “Let the Memories Begin,” which has been the loosely-utilized promotional campaign for the last two years that has really only featured a marketing campaign along

Disneyland’s July 17th anniversary has become a yearly holiday of sorts for Disney fans, regardless of whether they are Disneyland fans, specifically.
