My guess is it is related to this upcoming film:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1964418/

Certainly looking forward to this, I will be in Disneyland in a few weeks as well, so the timing is perfect for me! Hopefully there will be something there when I go visit!

while the fictional character thing annoyed me too, i do have faith in this game as all indicators point to it being a lead up to Tomorrowland, a Lindelof film. Also an earlier "discovery" of a box in the disney archives (http://collider.com/damon-lindelof-tomorrowland-details/) also seems connected, as Damon says finding it in Walts personal studio is what inspired the film. and Lindelof states there could be at least 50 more boxes like this, (possibly meaning 50 people will receive packages sometime) so even if Disney doesn't realize that TINAG I'm still gonna play as I expect a fun time ahead of us

Much as I'd like to believe this ties into Brad Bird's "Tomorrowland" film, I think this is a separate experience. The press release indicated this will "culminate" at the D23 Expo in August.
