Last Super Soap Weekend at Walt Disney World

Disney prepares for last Super Soap weekend
promises fitting finale

Orlando Sentinel
Who’s killing ABC Super Soap Weekend at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Brian Frons, president of the Daytime Disney-ABC Television Group, appears to be the one to have written Super Soap out of the ABC script.

In a press release issued today, Frons said ABC wants to send its soap stars on a national promotional tour in 2009, rather than sponsor one big Super Soap Weekend at Disney World. “Our fans have told us they want us in their neighborhoods," he stated “We thank Walt Disney World for being a wonderful host and partner and look forward to our plans to send Super Soap off with a bang,” Frons added.

Another last call: this time it's Super Soap

Orlando Sentinel
Disney has announced that this year's Super Soap Weekend (Nov. 15-16 at Disney's Hollywood Studios) will be the last such event. Instead, ABC will embark on a "Soap Nation Tour" in 2009. That will be several events nationwide in different cities.

"The new year will bring new ways we will involve our stars in more events, in more cities, more often," Brian Frons, head of ABC Daytime, said in a release. The specific events listed are a three-day cruise (from Los Angeles to Mexico), contests with a trip to New York and Broadway Cares and participation in the CMA Music Festival. The release says more "fan experiences" will be announced in the new year.

We went to the two Super Soap Weekends that they had in California Adventure and had a blast! But then they never came back to Cali

Glad to see that they are planning on giving us an opportunity to see the stars again on this coast.

Haha, I guess it's a good thing I read the article. I read the title and replies, without reading the actual article and I thought there was a soap weekend, as in WDW had a weekend dedicated to the differnt kinds of soap (ie bar, liquid, scented). I feel a little dumb, but it's pretty funny now. As for the soap stars....I don't really care. But it makes sense to have them travel instead of just being at WDW.
