Move Over, Hot Dog Days!

The most jarring thing about this is that they literally announced nothing. What will be operationally different about this weekend than any other weekend? Discounts? Decor? Merchandise? I joke that the DPB articles say nothing but this time they actually said nothing.

Anyway I love fried chicken. Slightly cannibalistic I know I know.

You do know that July 6th really is National Fried Chicken Day (which is referenced in the blog post):

So while you may think this is a nothing announcement, but its to highlight the resorts fried chicken offerings for those that may not know.

First Bob Chapek came for my Tower of Terror, and I did not speak out - for I am not a Tower of Terror.

Then Bob Chapek came for my California Screamin', and I did not speak out - for am I not a California Screamin'.

Then Bob Chapek came for my Hot Dog Days, and I burned the world to the ground.

They made a logo for it... they're trying to make it a thing. When it isn't a thing. And shouldn't be a thing. Let fried chicken exist in peace!!

I don't see it any different than any other no nothing day that Disney celebrates. Anyways, is it silly sure, but its fun and doesn't really harm anyone (other than the chickens :p).

Not to be outdone, Knott's is getting in on the fried chicken extravaganza-palooza game themselves. If they play their cards right, I bet this could grow to outshine the Boysenberry Festival in a year or two!

True, but Disney is making it a 'celebration' that lasts 3-days, not just the actual day. Disney has highlighted park food in connection with national days before, but that was along the lines of "in honor of National Root Beer Float Day, come get a float at Gibson Girl." This is pushing an event (not really an event) which is a month away. It just seems odd, and not much of anything.

EDIT: it's not a month away; I clearly can't count, but it's still a nothing-burger.

Disney is just using the weekend instead of a single day. Its suppose to be silly and fun and not taken so seriously.

I don't know that anyone is taking this seriously--at least I'm not. I just find it weird that Disney is touting this as a 3-day celebration when there is nothing different or special about buying your chicken dinner July 6-8 as opposed to any other day. Knott's is also doing a fried chicken promotion, but you get 10% off the price. Disney is doing nothing out of the ordinary and calling it a celebration. It's not a big deal; I just think it's odd.
