Recreate the 2005 Disney World Planning Video?

[rocknroller81]

I remember that was one of the first planning DVDs I ever watched and to this day, it's still one of my favorites. I listen/watch every time I leave for Disney, whether it be on the flight to it or even the bus ride to the resort. Now, the question I have for everyone is, if I was to go to Disney and recreate that video, who would be up for it and what would you cover for your specialty? I, myself, would go for thrill rides. Sorry to take that one right off the bat hahaha.

Nobody does it better than Dave.

"That was on the hook!"

I'm for returning to 2005's format with one exception! Recast the thrill seeking surfer/stoner dude he annoys me!

Nothing compares to Erin Cahill & Dave Wilk on the best Dvd planner ever!

Luke.....Not so much....

 

[got2lovedisney]

We love Erin! My/someone's (can't remember) dog chewed up the DVD cover and I was so upset until...dun dun dun...I found I had another copy stashed in a drawer!!

 

[dicksonthunder]

A great video for sure. I agree about Luke (the surfer dude). He tried way too hard to act cool instead of letting the rides speak for themselves.

Oh my goshhh, I loved that planning DVD! I loved all four of them. It was cheesey but great!

I have an old 2003-ish planning video cassette that I loved and was pretty funny, and a lot better than than my 2012 version.

The other thing that made this Planner great is the Hidden Easter Egg on the DVD..When you find it...You will then be treated to the Only Blooper reel that was made for a WDW Vacation Planner and it's Hilarious!

My favorite DVD is the zip a dee doh dah days. That was perfection. I know everyone loves Stacy but she has the most irritating, child like voice ever. I admit when I first get to my room I listen to the loops play while I settle in but after that - it is a no go.

I know a guy named Dave who is exactly like the Dave in the video.

"You up for this?"

"You go ahead, I'm going to sit on this bench with my beer."

When this video came out...

I'd be happy to cover a discussion of Epcot, although it would be much shorter now than it was in 2005...

I really do love those old videos. They were beautiful, nicely paced and both informative and evocative. They weren't afraid to be schmaltzy or cheesy, but I happen to like cheese.

Nowadays, we get a DVD that contains virtually no factual information or meaningful overviews of the parks, and instead spends much of its precious time advertising for experiences that cost extra (e.g., Bibbity Bobbity Boutique). It's no longer appears to be useful as a planning aid that tries to draw guests to WDW: rather, it's a tool to get guests to spend more money on add-on experiences, upgraded hotels, upgraded tickets and souvenirs. To heck with the attractions: clips of attractions are delivered in a frenetic, disorganized, lighting-fast pace with no context provided. Then there's the trite, dumbed-down narration, delivered by women who either adopt a faux-happy-hysterical tone, or an utterly condescending one. But I don't judge...

That's the former resort TV loop...I don't ever recall it being on DVD..

You are absolutely correct, lol. My favorite DVD is the one from 2008-2009 (I think) but only the part when you first put in the DVD and it was a certain track used that I loved. But its hard too explain and I no longer have my DVD

 

[Fantasmic]

i have a 1997 planning vhs....

 

[disneypearl]

I love the 2005 planning dvd. I wish they would bring back this style again. Gotta love Dave.

Another fun fact: The Producers of the DVD also produced The Top 7 Must Sees At Walt Disney World..

Dave always makes me laugh so hard!

The last thing I saw him was in 2007 for a Dish Network ad...And yes he has a Couch in the Commercial.... It's not a bench but, it's as close as it can get..
