This Disney commercial chafes me.

[French Quarter]

Don't you bring your fancy ideas of logic, reason, flexibility, and compromise here! Can't you see there's impotent posturing and pointless rage to be had?!?

I can see why that would annoy you, OP. I just try not to take Disney advertising too seriously -- after all, they're still running TV specials showing a working Yeti! The place is so steeped in fantasy, that a little of it is bound to leak into the advertising.

To be fair, at least lately they seem to have stepped away from using stock footage from Disneyland for Disneyworld commercials. They used to be really bad about doing that...

The hyperbole is strong this morning...

Where exactly is the rage? Because lord knows chafe and rage don't mean the same thing. But my point is the commercial seems to insinuate that every want can be fulfilled at the front desk with little problem. Does it happen from time to time? Yes. But a commercial that is appealing to new visitors or people who haven't been in awhile seems to be setting itself up for complaints. It's not like anybody who keeps up with WDW on a consistent basis is gonna need this commercial. They will plan ahead. That's my reasoning for posting without any rage or denial that you can luck into a good reservation at times.

Well, commercials do that. If commercials were 100% honest, then crackers would fly into my mouth and Mrs. Butterworth would engage me in delightful conversations at breakfast.

Exactly. Agreed.

Commercials to me don't chafe me (or upset me).

Sometimes they inspire me.

Is Disney this magical place like this commercial shows?



Well, I will say this, I've never seen the happy housekeeper in perfectly clean and pressed clothes at any resort stay (even deluxe ones) like at 33 seconds in.

They are always frumpy old immigrants who barely speak english and generally are overweight with hunched backs (nothing wrong with any of that, just saying) pushing around beat up rubbermaid plastic carts that take up half the hallway with a constant constipated look on their face, and reek of smoke or booze (ok, the latter not so much, but I've had some experiences with that...ahem...POFQ "mousekeepers")...

A far cry from DCL Stewards, I must say (who are also foreign (not immigrants, cause you don't immigrate to a ship) on average, but speak english well, and treat you like a king/queen.

Then again, a stateroom is a lot more expensive than even a Deluxe stay at WDW, in many cases.
