Read this in the Orlando Sentinel:


"New this fall at Magic Kingdom

High School Musical and the Woody and Jessie characters from the Toy Story movies will be joining sidewalk shows at Magic Kingdom this fall as part of Disney's Year of a Million Dreams campaign.

Walt Disney World is planning at least five new outdoor shows including four that will involve audience participation. Dates for the new shows' openings haven't been announced, but all are part of Year of a Million Dreams, which starts Oct. 1.

Disney now is holding in-house auditions for a "High School Musical Pep Rally," a "Royal Court Academy," a "Woody's Cowboy Camp," and a new, as-yet-unnamed castle show to replace Cinderellabration, which closes Aug. 19.

Open auditions are slated for Thursday and Friday. Interested actors, dancers and singers can call Disney's audition hotline, 407-397-3299.

Disney also is planning a new morning parade along Main Street U.S.A. that's in addition to the more traditional afternoon parade throughout Magic Kingdom.

"Somebody's dream might have been to be in a Disney parade. They'll have that chance," said Rich Taylor, Walt Disney World vice president of entertainment and costuming.

The pep rally, capitalizing on the popular show on the Disney Channel, will give people a chance to join in cheers, songs and dancing from High School Musical. Woody's Cowboy Camp features a hoedown at Frontierland. Royal Court Academy will give visitors in Adventureland a chance to learn the etiquette of meeting with royalty."


Sounds like lots of fun stuff should be popping up all over the park!!

That must be a typo b/c everywhere else I've read about Cinderellabration ending (and I just searched 3 different sites LOL), the date is listed as 9/16.
