What the heck is this?

Absolute brilliance from the WDW marketing team! The Stacy cameo, the AP calendar gift, the Christmas commercial with Grayson, Dapper Dans, and voices of Liberty -

There’s some people who really get it right now!

If you are asking a legit question - the singer is Noah - he has 95k followers and 3 million likes on tik tok alone - he posts a bunch of Disney music.

Just bring back the song already Disney bring it back!! Its time (after 30 years) they update the finale tunnel anyway put it in there.

Don’t tell Donnie…the place was mobbed with freeloading locals. Probably AP holders.

For me personally- I use cards for everything so it doesn’t matter to me. But less options are always worse for the guests.

Some cities and states have made “credit only” illegal for retailers - I tend to agree with those laws and would like to see them expanded.

Even if something like this passed in Florida, Disney would not have to change anything. As long as you can go into a gift shop and buy a gift card for any dollar amount to the penny.

Possibly- depends if the law would allow the cash to card option. Some do, and some don’t.

He's dressed as Bob Moline - who wrote and performed the original song (as well as a lot of other Epcot songs including the music for Golden Dream).

Okay, fine. That's very inside baseball, though.

Isn’t that exactly what we want? All these little winks and nods to the history of Disney.

Having locomotives named Roger Broggie and Ward Kimball is very inside baseball too.

Oh it's definitely very inside baseball. It's nice they included the reference, though; but I can absolutely see how the wig might be very distracting for the 99.99% of viewers who don't get the reference.

I didn't say otherwise. But it's so inside baseball that the dude is just cringe to me. Sorry, but he is.

My point exactly.

Ok. That’s your opinion. This is literally everything I want from Disney haha. Fun, quirky, based on nostalgia, etc.

Ok I started this sub-thread and admit to being a little torn. I was not familiar with Bob Moline so I love the call back. I like the presence of more traditional music. I was a little caught off guard the first time I watched the video. The presentation of the singer felt awkward and almost so deliberately retro I wasn’t sure if it was sincere. I think it’s the fake hair. So I have since come to just accept it and leave it alone.

Noah is absolutely sincere about his love for Disney and retro Disney music.

That wasn’t even the reason I came to the comment section today. I was curious from those in the know whether these displays are really correctly called “topiary”. They are attractive and do have plants in them, but it doesn’t look like they are pruned and shaped to get their form. They feel more like Rose Bowl floats. I may be wrong - glad to be informed.

They are not traditional topiary. There are some actual Topiary at Epcot in the jumping fountain garden at the Imagination Pavilion.

The characters are “wire frame topiary sculptures”

Still in the topiary family so using that term isn’t “wrong” - but not the traditional or purist definition.
