It reallys is marketing bleep with absolutely no substance behind it ... no substance, what does that remind me of? Oh yeah, most execs at TWDC.

Originally Posted By SSE This is such a pathetic new marketing campaign. I am sick of these stupid campaigns that add nothing at all to the parks.

I used to be cautiously optimistic that someone would come a long that would actually understand the Disney legacy and understand the need to create new and unique experiences and maintain quality. Now though, I have little to no hope. I am sure there are still people within the company that get it, but since the majority that don't get it hold the most power we continue to get junk like this. The lame marketing campaigns, the abundance of generic merchandise, dumbing down of food offerings and outrageous prices for special events that aren't really worth it all lead me to believe that if the parks are to get better it will be a long long time before anything happens.

That somehow I can get behind... Not sure why... -em

Barbara Streisand's song "The Way We Were" will be the new song played in a fireworks show over the MK featuring rotating images of family photos, and co sponsored by microsoft, which will feature a windows98 flag that will also float around the castle with the pictures. Watch for new updates as I head to the world today bright and early to make my own free magical celebration memories in 2010....while still trying to scrounge up money to go see potter.
