Disney plans to build a massive dynamic art installation on International Drive

Whatever happened to common sense?

It should be illegal to put video screens along the roadside where drivers might be distracted by them.

Meh. Alot of drivers wont see them because they will be focused on their phone…..

You are not aware of the tourism staffing shortages nationwide? Not just WDW. Companies can't even get people to apply for jobs available.

Works like this. They weren't paid very well and were thrown out the door into the street just like that. Why would you want to go work one of those jobs again? Actually I never saw the reason to work a resort job in the first place unless you have no other place to work.

Giant bill board advertising WDW seems to contradict the idea Disney wants to reduce the crowd levels. Indicates Disney wants more$$$$$$$ and more$$$$$$$$$

Disney wants to reserve any ad space it can. Getting approval for something like this is more valuable than the near term pain the parks are having. It will be there for years and years

You know, the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be spent on an unnecessary billboard display could be much better spent making the Yeti actually work again, or restoring/ plussing attraction effects ... Disney does not need to advertise that they are in Orlando...
They cannot keep up with the huge crowds they currently have... let alone advertise for more... Dollars need to all be spent completing construction projects and bringing the parks back on line.

They could push D+ on this

In theory couldn't they also sell the ad space to an outside company for a premium?

IDK, maybe if it were "art"?

Shouldn't the store be a Target with a Disney Kiosk inside? I thought that was the current direction...

Would be a bit more useful in that location.

So this is quite close to EU, correct?

yeah, it's an Art Installation, not a Billboard. And, that's the same line they're using to justify Times Square.

It'll pay for itself. Got to get the word out about Disney and all its products!!
