Staged for Summer Nightastic!? theres all kinds of hidden references to it, Fantasmic!, Pixie Hollow, Electrical Parade, as well as after she says yes. They start singing "its a Summer Nightastic!"

What was the Disneyland marketing department thinking? I mean c'mon...

This did two things...

1. Ruined the magic for families and guests who were walking down main street for the very first time. This is alot different than Main Street Performers in Costume, in SCENE.

2. I am sure this video will get over a million views on youtube, and maybe a headline or two on The Today Show/Good Morning America in the next few days. When that happens, this stunt will be replayed by couples at Disneyland and WDW a thousand times for years to come, trying to COPY these clowns.

No good Disney, not good...

That was incredibly painful.:brick::hurl:

Disney's Marketing, although they have slipped in recent years, is really better than that. Or at least they used to be.:rolleyes::lol:

It was posted on another site about them filming this the other day. They had signs out at the entrance letting everyone know they were filming in the park.

Personally, I found the ad horribly clunky and completely fake. :shrug:

God bless the "Ignore" button.
Kinda reminds me of Improv Everywhere (if you're not familiar you should Google it).
Staged, but with some production value.

In fact, I'm certain that's downright INSPIRED (AKA ripped off) from IE...

Pardon..........I got the impression a couple earlier posters thought that might be a real proposal? Geez..... I hope not. I have higher expectations for WDWMAGIC people.

That's so weird.. I just saw that today as well before you posted this! I don't know, if it's real it's nice that he went to all that trouble but it's a little too public and showy for me. It kind of seems staged but you never know.

The fact that all those people were wired for sound, the filming was done from a non-guest-accessible location, etc. leads me to think that this is a staged film. If it was not done by Disney themselves could it be by someone or a CM with Disney's permission (ie. for a project, etc.)? If there were signs up indicating there was going to be filming then I don't see how it would impose so horrendously on 1st time guests if they are aware of it. Another poster mentioned that it's not like regular streetmosphere because the singers/dancers weren't in costumes to fit that area....but I disagree. They were. They were dressed like every other guest walking thru that area so they did fit the surroundings from a different point of view. The cheesiness of it does fit the scene of tourists walking around wearing mouse ears, etc. Even if this is some cornball, low-budget film or advertisement Disney marketing threw together I wouldn't necessarily turn my nose and write it off as a monumental failure because it comes off as totally questionable. It's getting a lot of attention. We're discussing it. If it makes the rounds on the news outlets such as The Today Show then it's working brilliantly. People are looking at it. People are talking about it. Disney hasn't had to pay money to air a commercial on tv for it to be seen. How many women will look at that and wish it was them? How many guys who are looking for proposal ideas will see that and think, "Yeah! Disney is the place to do it because she loved that video!" The marketing campaign for this year is "What Will You Celebrate?" This clip fits! I know it was cheesy, the singing wasn't the best, the dancing wasn't Broadway material but the rough edges make it more real and leaves viewers wondering if it was truly a proposal or just a film clip of an advertisement. I wouldn't write it off as a new low for Disney's marketing people if they are the ones behind it. I'd say it's pretty dang smart....which is what makes me go back to wondering if it was real because it's almost TOO smart.... :animwink:

It isn't real. It was staged. Another site reported the filming of this yesterday. :wave:

Yeah. I just showed the film to my hubby and his 1st comment was after she said yes it seemed odd that they didn't kiss...until after the song was finished. That alone is waaaaay too staged. I know if it were me I'd tackle him if I had to to get him to hold still, stop singing, and kiss me. LOL!

Actually, it seems like the actual idea of the proposal was real, although the "show" was clearly staged. Check out the video on Disneyparks' youtube page

Seems to me like they might be CM's who ARE getting married. Disney might just have used them...

It still is really corny and over the top, though..:brick:

ICK:dazzle: I'm still cringing.
