Originally Posted By FerretAfros Wow! It seems like every time I see pictures of that train, it's got a different paint job. That's really neat how they keep it traditional, yet they constantly remake it and turn it into something fresh. It looks like a cute little show, and a fun way to start the day off. I think it would be nice if the other parks could do something like that too. See, not all things that come out of Paris are a bad idea! : )

I just wish Disney wouldn't always use the by popular demand excuse. >> I saw that over the weekend, so they let it stand for a while at least ... although with all the posts before it being glowing and positive (pun intended) one would surmise they don't think enough people will even read all the way to your post. Public relations in corporate America has become such a vile cynical type business ... you lie all the time, even when it isn't needed ... even when the truth would be better for all. Disney has always wanted its message to get out, but the slime factor has been turned up multiples in the last decade. ~Lying is magical!~

Whether I go to a clothes store, electronics store, etc. There are always people when I ask for their opinion say, "Now I'm not saying this because I work here, but I honestly use this(whatever product I'm looking for) and ever since I have started using this I haven't used anything else. I'm sure that some of the people I talk to are being honest. But the world has become a place where companies just want you to buy their products so they will sell you any line they can to get you to buy. This may work on many other customers, but it leaves me feeling uneasy and I end up not buying stuff because I don't trust the people trying to sell it to me.

Look, if Disney had said that the MSEP was going into WDW for 2 years, then that would be all the news out of it. But they put the parade into the MK for the summer and get a big news pop out of it. Then in the middle of summer they say that they're extending the parade due to popular demand, and they get another news cycle out of it. Simply good management of their information resources.

It's how they generate buzz and hype. The problem is, we know about it too much.
