Best of Both Worlds: Hannah Montana’s Miley Cyrus to Celebrate ‘Sweet 16’ Birthday and Honor Youth Volunteers at Disneyland Bash

          Tickets For Unforgettable Celebration Go On Sale Aug. 30



    ANAHEIM, Calif., Aug. 21 /EMWNews/ -- 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 http://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 http://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."
