Uhhh... "holidays" in Potterland sounds great.
A Universal/Macy's parade sounds awful.
I remember a long, long time ago when they started doing the Macy's Thanksgiving parade at Universal and I was really excited to see the huge balloons... and then a mini-parade goes by with just a handful of balloons one quarter the size of the NYC parade. So. Completely. Underwhelmed.
That was *not* the Thanksgiving parade that they hyped in ads.
Yeah not sure why anyone would expect the giant balloons to be there. 0 chances they would fit.
Because they advertised it as a Macy's Day parade with Macy's Day parade balloons.
And that's exactly what you got. No one ever said it would have ALL of the content seen in the Thanksgiving parade, and expecting as much would be absurd.
No, I got an anemic lite version, and I regarded it as false advertisement and I found it to be eminently boring.
It's like when Disney advertises the BoardWalk like it was a seaside boardwalk. It's an anemic lite version of actual seaside boardwalks.
You can regard it as whatever you want, but your perception is not reality. They advertise a holiday parade with Macy*s balloons & characters, you got a holiday parade with Macy*s balloons & characters.
I have no idea why anyone would go to a theme park of all places expecting a 100% authentic replication of anything. Next we'll hear about how Epcot doesn't actually take you on a legitimate whirlwind tour of the world.
Well, when they say they teamed up with Macy's to get actual balloons from the parade, they set up an expectation that a Macy's Parade will be a Macy's Parade.
When a Broadway show goes on tour, I don't expect a 15 minute version of the original NYC show.
