I dunno...the sappy-ness reminds me of Disney commercials from recent past. I guess there's only so much you can do with a theme park commercial emphasizing family time.

"Can I just go ahead and lock in that visit to the Pandora Boat Ride in 2017?"
"Oh so it won't be open with the rest of the land...well let me lock it in for 2019 then!"
Universal
"I just wanna go ahead and lock in a ride on the Jurrasic Park Mine Train Ride"
"Oh Kong will be open too! Let me go ahead and lock that in also"
"Oh and why you are at it let me lock in that Gringotts ride too for my third"

Apple fanboys spend a lot of time on Youtube if the reaction to the Universal commercial is any indication. Yikes.
Rip-off or not, still beats a commercial that portrays the target demographic as borderline mentally handicapped. Is that like an inside joke of what they think of guests who use the magic bands, or just really poor marketing?

So obviously I don't know when either of these commercials were made or how long it even takes to make a commercial. But I imagine that they were made around the same time. So I doubt there was any blatant "Oh hey let's steal Apple's commercial."
But who knows really.

I just watched the Apple one for the first time. I actually think the Universal one was more effective.

The Apple one aired over a month ago. While I doubt Universal started the project knowing about Apple's I do think they decided to press ahead after it aired.
I imagine at that point they had already tested it and put some cash into it. So I guess they thought switching gears didn't make sense.

Just saw a commercial for the Diagon Alley expansion at Universal, on of all stations ABC Family.

Not at all unusual, especially when ABC Family is airing the films. NBCUniversal's money looks no different on ABC Family's books.

I was thinking the same thing. I would have taken the phone away from her long before we made it to the pool scene.I dunno...if I took my kid to an expensive vacation, and all she did was text, that phone would wind up at the bottom of the Universal Studios Florida lagoon.

Hey, so I'd like to ahead and lock in a time ride with a 15 minute line most of the time.
My kids are gonna love me.
I'm so glad I can do all this on my computer, it makes me so happy. My kids won't have whims, and I won't want to experience the park for myself, because I planned it out like I do farmville.
Thank goodness for MM+, without it, I have no idea how I'd do Disney.

Doesn't matter, it's a great commercial.
