The suite is definitely awesome; I'd love to stay there.

And the place is called Walt Disney World, not Disney World; sorry, but I get very sensitive to this because it's in Walt's honor and most younger kids today don't even know that he is a real person. Roy O Disney added the "Walt" to Disney World to honor his brother.

Those are gorgeous pictures. But what exactly are they for? Just promoting Disney? Where are they putting them?

The more I look at these, the more I love them. Especially the Alice in Wonderland one.

Ahshley - from the article:
"Recruited by Disney to promote Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Year of a Million Dreams campaign, Leibovitz persuaded her famous friends to dress up as classic Disney characters."

They're for the "Year of a Million Dreams" campaign, which I think is just a thing the Disney parks are doing in which patrons will randomly win prizes (such as the stay in Cinderella's castle) throughout the parks by being in the right place at the right time. It's all basically an advertising campaign for Disney World and Disneyland.
The pictures are supposed to be featured in the March issues of Vogue, GQ, W, The New Yorker, and a few other magaiznes. I'm supposing they will be in more magazines and such later, but those are the "premier" ones I guess.

You're thiking of Disneyland's 50th anniversary.

I think their "year-long celebration" tends to last for 2 years, all the better to milk us for. Their 50th anniversary started in May of 2005 and just ended this past fall when the "Year Of A Million Dreams" campaign started. (I went to DL this past October, when the transition was being made.)

Regarding the contest awarding a night's stay at Cinderella's Castle, I thought this particular line in the rules quite amusing:

For residents of Canada, a mathematical skill-testing question must be correctly answered to win any prize.
