Next time, you want someone to surprise the workers with someone running around with a camera shouting questions at them?
Some have said more like Oga's.
Or take someone that’s never actually set foot in a construction site give them vest and hard hat, take them to a inactive construction site and give them a script to read and point at things?
I am!

I am interested to see what this place ends up being.
Hoping for a unique spot that will add something to that area of the Park.
Even if nothing more than a cool themed hideaway to get out of the sun and have a frosty beverage, it will be welcome by most Guests.
Of course…if it is a REALLY cool themed space with some quality enhancements and fun live entertainment along with good grub and grog ..then even better for Guests and for us Park fans.
And more welcome.
But let us indeed hope that it does not become yet another cheap overlay with no real substance or effort behind it.
We have seen that already before….

Really a mix of both it would seem.

Not really. This is supposed to open Late 2025, so that's 9.5 months to transform it now all the structure walls are in place
As I recall, you hated something that is "carefully choreographed and scripted PR. It lacks complete authenticity."
I don't see how your scripted PR fluff solves your critique.

I get on Disney for a ton, but the video is whatever. I could care less about it, but the point of it is to show work being done and keep PR on it so it's a big deal when it opens. Cedar Point has a ton of things like this with their construction manager to show updates and how things are going. He has 0 dirt/scuffs on ANYTHING. They even had one where he didn't need a hard hat (just to show you how close he is to the action in those videos). I'd not be surprised if he has gear JUST for videos (and work gear otherwise). Not to mention there's no way I'd expect a designer to be covered in stuff at a job site, they aren't doing the work, and it's a liability to have them in the active zones anyways. It's just scripted pieces to keep people excited/thinking about the progress.
I'm just surprised she didn't say "immersive" at any point in the video. That was refreshing.

Lets go though the laundry list of what's wrong this.
First, it is a scripted PR post. That's what the intention of the video is. They aren't filming a work in progress/in place video for the general public.
Second, why in the world would you do filming in and around active construction? There is no reason to take that even slight risk that something goes wrong during filming, or something gets caught on camera that shouldn't be.
Third, who do you think Disney is going to have do a PR video talking to the public about an upcoming Disney location, someone what works for Disney, that will stay on script and who likely has had some schooling/training, in PR/Public speaking/communications, ect., or some laborer who may or may not actually work for Disney, but rather an independent contractor and who's job it is to build things, not film commercials?
Fourth, "dirty PPE?" Seriously? I mean leaving aside the fact that this project is basically a remodel, your not doing heavy concrete pours, working with slurry, or other materials that should really "dirty" up PPE and that the project hasn't been ongoing all that long such that most of the PPE should still be in good shape, the person who is doing the video is clearly not a front line worker. Any guest to a project site is going to get new PPE as a standard practice, filming or not and if she happens to have her own for when she does visit sites, its not likely that its going to be banged up.
I mean at this point your just complaining to complain.
I wouldn't want to be immersed in cocktails...

It's a cute little Instagram promo. Fine. But monothingie has a point. Why bother with the construction getup when there were no shots of anything, even in the background, no quick interviews with actual Imagineers? Not even a "look at this!" [ETA: she does gesture toward an empty space, but the video immediately cuts to concept art.]
It was informative only to the extent that her script and the concept art did the work for her. The CP tie-in is irrelevant and serves only to suggest (to intelligent viewers anyway) that she has, in fact, very little to do with the actual construction of this project.
