Wow, this is insane. Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California just announced a special party for Hannah Montana star Miley Cirus' 16th birthday.

I don't care one iota about Cirus, Hannah Montana, or the party. What interests me is that on Sunday, October 5 they're closing the entire theme park at 5 pm.

But get this - it's not a private party, oh no. 5,000 "fans" can buy tickets for the 6 pm to 11 pm party. The price? A cheap $250.

Gah! That's fifty bones an hour!

But this isn't Disney overtly ripping off Hannah Montana fans. Nope. This is a much needed public service. Because somehow this is supposed to help drive awareness of the need for youth volunteerism.

What?

Specifically Youth Service America.

"In keeping with Miley’s passion for youth volunteerism, Disney Parks will make a significant contribution to Youth Service America."

So let me see, 5000 people at $250 a pop, that's ... $1.25 million dollars.

Jeesh! That'd better big a significant contribution there, Disney.

Honestly though, I don't care if Disney is ripping off some boenheads who'd pay way-too-much to see some teen pop star who'll be a reality show staple in about 2018. Nope. I own a few shares of Disney stock, that'll only drive the price up for me.

What I do care about is that family who has traveled all of the way to Disneyland for the weekend and find out the park closes before sundown. That's not cool.
