Although, how does a dragon fit into any of the movies in the Enchanted Forest??? BatB?? No... Little Mermaid?? No... SW7D??? No... Dumbo??? No... huh, I just dont see why they did that at all!
Nothing but praise, glorious praise in the comments section. And the occasional pleading to not let this be a one-time event.

Wow ... A little literal don't you think? Dragons are a part of Fantasy ... always have been, Sword in the Stone had one, Malificent turned into a dragon ... Just sayin'.
Also, the China Plate, the Reluctant Dragon, Pete's Dragon, The Black Cauldron, Mushu, The Ballad of Nessie .....

I wouldn't necessarily look at last night being a waste of money re: the dragon. If anything, last night finally gave it a purpose. There are many things like this that WDI tinkers and experiments with that never see the light of the day. The "viral campaign" may have been a waste of resources, but hey, the dragon got its moment in the sun (so to speak.)

Speaking of PR failures, the official Walt Disney World Twitter account just tweeted out a link that was " photos of this spectacular expansion". Except the link was to some Russian kids SkyDrive account. The kid looks like she's 12.
(the tweet has now been deleted. The above photo is the remaining evidence to the mistake)

Glad to know everyone's opinions are out of whack inducing the many confused "That was neat but why?" people of media and when presented with someone agreeing with a point against yours you shoot the rolling eyes.

The viral campaign is the head-scratcher in all this. Why spend money promoting the thing to the online community? It's almost like the publicity folks realized that none of the permanent offerings in FLE are exciting enough, so they felt compelled to use the dragon to try to drum up interest.

I haven't seen anyone mention how the dragon looked from the ground. In short, much less impressive. That might be one explanation as to why it's a one-time thing -- it probably looks better on video than live and in-person.
Still doesn't forgive the publicity around the thing.
