That, and the way the announcer says "Disney parks" just sounds strange too.
Originally Posted By Park Hopper As far as most TV ads they've had I have to agree that this one is pretty good... except for the whole Disney Parks thing at the end. It kind of leaves me with a, 'huh...? Where?' feeling. However, I can't help but feel this would be a WDW only comercial if it were not for the success of the Happiest Homecoming on Earth at DL. I guess we should ba happy that DL is included.

Parks are not really associated in groups by a company name, so it just seems strange. Maybe if they changed it to "resorts" (although that may sounds too much like just the hotels) or "destinations" (like it says on the website and has for as long as I can remember) it would just sound better and have more of a ring to it. Then again, it could not make a difference at all, I'm jsut speculating and thinking out loud.

Originally Posted By DlandDug The term "Disney" to designate a Disney theme park is typical of the east coast. ("We took the kids to Disney over Easter.") On the west coast, we would say "Disneyland" or "Disney World." I agree that this spot would be better if the tag had simply said "Disney" rather than the awkward sounding "Disney Parks." (This would also cover the Disney shopping segment, too.)

Originally Posted By LuLu LOL! I really like the ad (neat segues, tho some are a bit rough, the concept is cool). Like everyone else, I hate the ending tho! Ugh!
