As previously announced, this year will mark the last Super Soap Weekend in Orlando, as the ABC’s Daytime Division embarks on the 2009 Soap Nation Tour, a collection of nationwide events designed for interaction with fans on a year-round basis, offering greater access to stars in more cities, more often.  The final Walt Disney World weekend will be dedicated to the fans with special retrospectives and exclusive productions, including special trivia and commemorative clip packages honoring the 45th anniversary of “General Hospital,” the 40th anniversary of “One Life to Live,” “All My Children’s” 10,000th episode and past Super Soap Weekends. Super Soap Weekend will become more interactive than ever with the introduction of new mobile programs and text trivia.  A special musical number will be developed for Colgate Total Street Jam that honors the final event as well.

Throughout the weekend, fans will have the opportunity to meet favorite stars from “All My Children,” “One Life to Live” and “General Hospital.”  Festivities include celebrity motorcades, autograph sessions, game shows, interviews and the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind memorabilia from each of the shows. The Colgate Total Street Jam will close the event each day with live musical performances by some favorite Daytime stars.

The Colgate Total sponsorship includes a national sweepstakes, awarding a trip for four to the 13th annual ABC-SOAPnet Super Soap Weekend.  Sweepstakes is live now and runs through Oct. 5, 2008, at 11:59 p.m., ET.  Go to abc.com/theview for details and official rules.  For additional information on Colgate’s products, go to www.colgate.com.
