100 year logo -

View attachment 601912

For goodness sake, doesn’t the numeral 100 lend itself perfectly to a not-so-hidden mickey? Anything would be more inspiring than a silver 100. Who did they pay to come up with that?

Josh needs a retro EPCOT Center T-Shirt.

Then people would get him mixed up with the Zach.

Something that struck me from D'Amaro's talk so far - just how bogged down Disney is getting with anniversary celebrations. There are so many properties now, it is becoming hard to even keep track of who is celebrating what. I think the effectiveness of them is being dramatically reduced as a marketing tool.

They're grasping at straws with a 15 year anniversary. Who celebrates such an odd number?

It’s an easy thing to attach merchandise too. Also makes it seem like “things” are happening.

They should really limit it to 5, 10, 25, 50, 100.

I'd be fine with 75 as well.

The winner is Rob Khapec for the DCL cruise!

Not enough Instagram followers, so it's good.

I guess, as these things go, D’Amaro is a good speaker, but doesn’t anyone else find the corporate-ese snake oil salesman patter deeply insincere and condescending?

Important Anniversaries: 5,10,20,25,30,40,50,60,75,100,125,150,175,200,250,300,400,etc)

I thought it had Mickey and Minnie in it?

Mice don't live that long

TDL, TDS and DLP celebrated their 15th as well.

To me, the main anniversaries are 1, 5, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 75, 100.

40 may be because I was a radio music countdown fan. But I do see it as a big one.

So to get interesting new attractions all we need is a repressive authoritarian government that routinely disappears citizens and threatens Disney with asset confiscation.

That seems doable, actually.

Or we could go the Tokyo route and have informed, intelligent management with a keen sense of what makes Disney special, but that seems MUCH harder right now.

I know we’re supposed to be apolitical on the boards but I can’t help but juxtapose the comments from the Women’s Tennis Association about being willing to deal with the consequences of saying “no” to China’s money. It’s the elephant in the room that was always there, but China is making it awfully hard to ignore it. We loved our 2018 visit to Hong Kong but we can’t ignore what has happened since and no matter how much we would like to go back for the cultural experience, we won’t.

How many people did they poach from the Embassy Suites Design team?

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

One of the best specials hands down...

 

[Gringrinngghost]

Wasn't this hotel nearly cancelled by them when they threw a tantrum at Anaheim?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Lmao the Disneyland DVC tower is basically Art of Animation with a boring pool.

Just because they did doesn't mean they should.
