They may be using it grammatically correctly, but it doesn't work in context.

Why not?
Yes they are, and no they don't. That's why there are disclaimers and/or warnings on everything.

I remember a hilarious article about warnings including one on a hotel shower cap that said “fits one head.”

A company can't cater to everyone. I think my initial post was more motivated by the fact that I wish the parks were ever quiet enough to look like that scene in the hub/Main Street.
And infinite, like EPIC in scale.

Although, I am of the opinion that free thought and common sense are in a terrifying downturn, it is amazing to me that so many one time lovers of WDW are so critical of everything they do. Someone take a course in commercial advertising, target audiences and what those targets find enticing and then come back and make statements about how awful that commercial is. It is the same unrealistic comments on the speed of the 7DMT, when it first opened, without taking certain things into account. Things like the difference in sensation while riding it, the way a single lens, non-moving camera will depict the image of movement and the fact that standing there moving your head while watching the train go by, is far more realistic that any camera can duplicate.
I think it is a good commercial directed at first time visitors and what influence a child has on its parents when it comes to family vacations. It isn't aimed at those of us, many of which have been to WDW many times. Instead it is really playing down the experience so that when that first time family empties their pockets and walk into the parks it visually exceeds expectations and that is the feeling that carries through to them and sticks sometimes for a lifetime. They don't need to advertise to us, those of us that have long replaced our inner child with a grumpy old person. It is fine and has enough focus on the children to make them be the catalyst for a visit to the parks. This ad served it's purpose.
We will be able to tell when a commercial comes on saying that long time frequent visitors can get 50% off everything. Admission fees, Lightening Lane, meals, all items in the stores. Then we will know that the message is directed at us and we can state whether or not the ad was a good one.

Maybe there is a general bad stigma now…and we watch inept management not correct it?

People are that gullible…we have 100 years of very expensive ads trying to misdirect That prove that
Also…common sense isn’t that common
And people spend to hurt their own self interests.
Ironically…wdw travelers tend to display all 3.

As someone with plenty of money tied to the parks' success, this looks to me to be their most cohesive and convincing effort in a long, long time.
If they can build on this concept, I'll be tickled pink (and hopefully green).

They'll never show even a semblance of reality. Even during the Christmas Day Informercial, you could tell that the scenes with the family who was MAGICALLY!!! invited to cruise on the Treasure were all filmed on an empty ship.

The WDWMagic recipe for an actually good commercial:
1. Open with current prices of Lightning Lane
2. Show a child crying after waiting in line
3. Apologize for making everything WOKE
4. Admit defeat and tell people to go to Epic instead

Sure but...
Buying that truck won't actually send you driving through monument valley.
Drinking that beer won't actually transport you to a perfect Mexican beach party.
Dining at Olive Garden won't actually eliminate your family's deep-rooted dysfunction.
Wearing those compression shirts won't actually land you a supermodel.
