(August 21, 2008) When the world�s most popular teenager turns �Sweet 16,� it�s cause to celebrate. And when that teen is Miley Cyrus � star of Disney�s �Hannah Montana� � there�s no better place to celebrate than at a Disney Park.

To honor the occasion and Miley�s philanthropic passion, Disneyland Resort in California has created �Miley�s Sweet 16 � Share The Celebration,� an unforgettable event for Miley and her fans that also will serve to recognize Youth Service America and help drive awareness of the need for youth volunteerism.

The Hollywood-style bash is planned for Sunday, Oct. 5, from 6 to 11 p.m., with ticket sales limited to 5,000 fans.

Tickets, priced at $250, go on sale at 9 a.m. PDT, Saturday, Aug. 30, at www.disneyparks.com/miley .

For Miley, the birthday bash is a once-in-a-lifetime event and she plans to make new Disney theme park memories during the evening. �I only turn 16 once, so it�s going to be an awesome party with my favorite rides, hanging out with friends, fireworks and more,� she said. �I�ll even get to sing a couple songs.�

The evening will celebrate Miley�s career as a Hollywood Records solo musical artist and as the �secret pop star� she portrays on the wildly popular Disney Channel series, �Hannah Montana.�

Miley�s Sweet 16 at Disneyland will feature a medley of party elements, large and small, that will allow guests to join in the celebration of Miley�s magical milestone. Special Party Zones will highlight the music and fun of Miley and Hannah Montana with themed activities and entertainment. Some of Miley�s favorite attractions will be open in each Party Zone, and the party will end with a bang as fireworks fill the Disneyland sky.

Sharing the Celebration with Youth Service America
In addition to all the birthday fun, Miley�s Sweet 16 will shine a spotlight on Youth Service America, an organization that seeks to improve communities by increasing the number and diversity of young people, ages 5 to 25, serving as volunteers. (For more information, visit www.YSA.org.)

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

With the organization�s involvement in �Miley�s Sweet 16 � Share The Celebration,� Miley said she hopes that other young Americans will be encouraged to volunteer in their own hometowns.

�The best part of the party is we�re going to recognize some really cool kids from Youth Service America who are giving back to their community,� she said. �That�s so awesome because I think it�s really important for kids like us to volunteer.�
