The only thing we didn’t know was that cats could ski….
Budget Travel has just posted an open letter to the Walt Disney Corp. in order to try and convince the company to keep running their “What Will You Celebrate?” campaign.
The “What Will You Celebrate?” campaign offered free admission to the Disney California and Florida theme park on your birthday which was perfect for budget traveling, but now the company is doing away with the program.
To the magic-makers at Disney,
Being bargain hunters, we’ve loved 2009’s “What Will You Celebrate?” campaign. After all, free admission on a person’s birthday to your Florida and California theme parks is what budget travel is all about. And getting to act like a little kid certainly takes the sting out of turning another year older!
Which is why we urge you to please extend this program into 2010. You’ve extended campaigns like this before. (The “Year of a Million Dreams” was supposed to end in 2007, and you took it through 2008.)
Sure, we’re cautiously optimistic that the worst of the recession will be over by next year. But we also know that a lot families will continue to struggle. During hardship, every little bit of sunshine helps. Walt knew that better than anyone.
So we hope you’ll extend the free-admission-on-your-birthday promotion to next year. Because there’s a little bit of Peter Pan in all of us!
Sincerely,
Your dearest fans at Budget Travel
We’re hoping this letter works since our next birthdays aren’t until next year!

Whether you’re headed to San Francisco for the first time or the twentieth, this Californian city has it all. From the Golden Gate Bridge to Fisherman’s Wharf, there is more packed into the city than you can fit into a weekend getaway.
The gem of the Bay area, San Francisco is located on a small seven-by-seven mile slice of land at the tip of a peninsula between the San Fran Bay and Pacific coast. With a population of 800,000 ethnically-varied residents who can afford to live in this high-priced and coveted city, you will find a cornucopia of wonderful restaurants and cultural experiences which makes San Fran one of the most visited cities not only in the US, but in the world.
Highlights of the city include the Golden Gate Bridge, of course, along with Fisherman’s Wharf which holds the treasures of Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square and the ferry launch to Alcatraz Island.
You cannot leave San Francisco without visiting Chinatown, the largest and most crowded Chinatown outside of Asia. And Southeast San Francisco, while mostly a residential area, is worth a visit with its many nice parks and bay-side neighborhoods, as well as being home to the 49ers NFL team at Monster Park.
Any way you slice it, you will not want to leave this city by the bay.
