Hannah Montana Sweet 16, Cheap Music, & Selena Gomez

Miley Cyrus, also known as the famous Hannah Montana, celebrated her 16th birthday party at Anaheim, California’s Disneyland on October 5, 2008. Her actual sweet 16 isn’t until November 23rd, but the celebration seemed to still go off as a hit. The theme park closed down and featured a fireworks show, 16 inflatable candles, and 4 performances by Miley. About 5,000 people attended that event which cost $250 a ticket. Disney used this event to help promote their “What Will You Celebrate.” This will begin in 2009 and it will gain free theme park admission to any person who has identification stating that it is in fact their birthday.

During the event guests also got the opportunity to play one of Disney’s upcoming video games called Ultimate Band. Disney wanted to find a way to allow people to experience Guitar Hero and Rock Band without the high costs. By doing this Disney has created a system that will allow Wii owners to use the remote and Nun chuck to play the drums and guitar. They also have a system set up where you can not only play the songs which are programmed into the game, but you can create music of your own and record and save it. Disney hopes to have this released in time for the Holidays so keep an eye out for anything around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Selena Gomez of Disney channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” was announced as spokesperson for Trick-Or-Treat for the UNICEF (The United Nations Children Fund) campaign. This campaign supports promoting American children to help other children around the world with celebrating and enjoying Halloween.
