On the other hand I'm beginning to feel that with this one they've crossed the line into creepy exploitation. Not only is the park evolving into a giant immersive advertisement for all things Disney but now we're being lulled into personally promoting the brand by showing our "Disney side"? Nope.

I like the idea of calling that creative, silly, or fun part of us our "Disney Side."

I agree with this. I really enjoy Disney's theme parks, but I don't like how the Disney brand has crept into every corner of them. I like even less that we're now expected to play the part and get involved in the charade. What I like about the parks is how great they are regardless (or often in spite of) any character tie-ins, not that they allow me to wear a certain outfit for a day.

This campaign also has the same benefit of the Let the Memories Begin! one a few years back, where they can get a bunch of content from guests, and use it to make free/ultra-cheap and pretty effective advertising
