So let's just throw out that whole "WDW can't afford to close rides for months at a time without making grown men cry" thing as an excuse for why WDW doesn't do the big holiday ride overlays that Disneyland does.
All that said, do I want the overlay at Magic Kingdom? Nope. As AEfx puts it, there are many marketing factors that would make such a move unrealistic. Besides, every park should have a unique draw. Maybe we could have our own overlay, with characters who pop up every 10 seconds to moan about the wand, Stitch, Imagination, Vacation Club, and Leave a Legacy. SCARY STUFF.

:ROFLOL:
Seriously, though, the biggest reason for not changing the Mansion for a season at Disney is because so many people go there for their one and only visit during that time of year. WDW wants them to be able to ride the actual ride, not a seasonal mock-up themed off a movie.
Your post really holds nothing of substance in my opinion, especially when the Country Bears used to have a holiday show every Christmas until brutal management at the Magic Kingdom scratched it off to save money.It would do nothing for WDW to put a temporary overlay on an attraction. Walt Disney World does not do this type of specific promotion for individual attractions. Very few people would plan on a specific trip to Disney to just see that, much less the more profitable people (i.e. not passholders). If you find some of the reasons the HM overlay will not be coming to Orlando cliche, I have to say I find the whining about why it should come or ignoring the reasons it doesn't a bit tiring myself. It makes no business sense to do so for
them, it only makes sense to fans who want it but don't want to go to Disneyland to get it.

You are correct! Those points you listed are the key components to becoming a Disney World manager.:ROFLOL:I'm of the opinion that the answer is simply WDW management has chosen to not spend the extra money on these popular holiday overlays. It's as simple as trying to save a few bucks.
I am not sure why this is brought up year after year.
Your post really holds nothing of substance in my opinion...
LOL, I said nor implied anything of the sort. Please stop projecting on me. Thanks!Your post to me almost seems like you're sticking up for the current managements brutal business decisions in the Magic Kingdom. It looks to me like you are supporting the fact that they do nothing and let the park rot to waste.
it doesn't change the fact that Disneyland and MK are very different parks,
Not quite. I explained why your post doesn't hold much water.For a posting that holds no substance, it sure did get under your skin enough for you to give an extended reply.
If you want to blame the repair status of the MK on me, go right ahead LMAO.
I simply understand the reasons they do it at Disneyland, and why they don't at the Magic Kingdom.
Who cares? Honestly, people can really learn to suck it up. I live just as far away from Disneyland as I do Disney World and when I visited Disneyland, 3 major attractions were down. 1)Space Mountain 2)Splash Mountain 3) The Railroad and various other attractions. Did I complain? No because I don't complain about those petty things.And you guys can poo-poo the fact that closing even for a month out of the year would be detremental; well ask the people at guest relations at the MK how well that is going right now.
The key factor would be that it wouldn't make sense to do it just once, and they'd have to do it EVERY year, which meant for the SAME weeks every year it would have to be closed.
I think it's great Disneyland has something unique like that, that also works with their local market, and find it strange that one would want to duplicate it here.
I'd much rather them work on PERMANENT changes that EVERYONE can enjoy, not just something that would inconvenience guests to please a small amount of rabid Internet fans that can't get over the fact that Disneyland has something they want.
If you really, really care - write a letter to Disney.
I am not going to tell them how to run a business. When someone gets seriously injured in the Magic Kingdom from shotty maintenance, I think that can be their wake up call. I am just surprised that you wouldn't want anything unique or creative to come to the World.
If you want permanent changes, wouldn't that mean closing down more attractions for a substantial amount of time as well? Wouldn't that tick off the tourists as well? I smell a contradiction from you there.
It's only rabid Internet fans that are ASKING FOR IT AT ORLANDO, because no one else knows it exists.If it is only rabid internet fans, please explain the extreme popularity that the Haunted Mansion has when the overlay opens. Is that all of the rabid internet fans? Don't think so.
LOL man, you really are obsessed with this, aren't you?I am not going to tell them how to run a business. When someone gets seriously injured in the Magic Kingdom from shotty maintenance, I think that can be their wake up call. I am just surprised that you wouldn't want anything unique or creative to come to the World.
I for one am happy that the NBC overlay is not coming to Florida. Why spend the money on something temporary. Instead of using all of that money for something we don't need to attraction guests, think of what our Haunted Mansion could look like on a permenant basis if that money were put into the normal mansion.
