Not Trying To Be A Grammar Nazi, But...

...this sorta bugs me a little. Lately I've been noticing an odd slogan at the end of Disney Parks TV advertisements:

"Disney Parks: The Place Where Dreams Come True!"

Okay, Disney Parks, the Place where dreams come true? Shouldn't it instead be: Disney Parks: The Places Where Dreams Come True"?

I'm nowhere near perfect with my grammar skills, so maybe I'm just reading too much into this. But for some reason the way the slogan is worded sounds like fingernails on the chalkboard. Sure, you could say: "Walt Disney World: The Place Where Dreams Come True". But a plural noun like Disney Parks? They obviously know what they're doing, so maybe I'm just off base. But this just sounds awkward (imo). What's next? "Police Officers: The Person Who Upholds The Law." o_O


I. LOVE. This.

Their copy team has been incredibly mediocre lately. Disney: Limited Time Magic. Really? That's the best they could do? Somebody was given money to spout infomercial talk to us. Sheesh.

You can use the term "Disney Parks" with several various accents. For example...

English: "Disney Parks"
New Jersey: "Doisney Poiks"
New England: "Disnay Paaks"
Swedish Chef: "Dersney Perks"
Southern: "Dollywood!"
Sean Connery: "Dishney Parksh"
Canadian: "Disney Parks, aye?"
Velociraptor: "Roaaarrr!"
Me: "It's Walt Disney World, dang it, WALT DISNEY WORLD!!"

For some reason, I stopped getting alerts when this thread updated. I have some catching up to do:


Too many spaces between the end of "agree" and your exclamation mark.

Unnecessary use of a question mark.

Wait a minute now, I thought I was the Princess of Punctuation. Your purpose here is to discuss plurality(?) (pluralness?) (pluralism?) (I'm lost)


So, should he have said "Good morning", "Bad Night", Terrible Twilight"?

That's more of a movie review, isn't it? :D



And us love having you as part of it! :D

Disney Parks: This be where magic is & happy are!

I think you're finally getting the hang of it, Bob! You're ready to send your resume to the TWDC's Marketing Department.



Gosh, I love the hilarity that is this thread.
