I’ve never seen so much press and marketing for an attraction retheme

Then they need stronger leads going forward in my opinion

Has anyone noticed, since the previews/POV videos began, that, for the most part, the only people giving it glowing reviews are the Disney vloggers/podcasters and travel agencies (along with the pixie dust addicts, of course)? It's hard not to think of these people as Disney shills, tbh. These people never seem to have an objective view- everything Disney does is "amazing" and "sooooooo magical!"

How one responds to the ride is a matter of personal taste, so no-one can claim to be objective in this regard. I see no reason to automatically doubt a person’s sincerity just because they happen to hold a different opinion from mine.

There is one person that I’ve never heard of before quoted in a bunch of articles. She has a negligible presence on social media compared to a lot of better or even moderately known Disney influencers. But, the first two links I clicked on to learn who she was listed out how much she charges for social media promotions.

it’s good judgment to weigh the opinions of those who have a vested interest in retaining access, are flown out to attend events, and invited to free previews.

Yes, and not everyone who likes the attraction is among those people. We have some hardcore enthusiasts in this very forum, and I’m not going to call them dishonest or delusional just because I happen not to share their enthusiasm.

You’re twisting their words. He/she didn’t say “all,” said “for the most part.”
You and I are not influencers. One can - and should! - look more critically at what they say than an average parkgoer.

But you missed the last point I made-the people I mentioned never seem to have any criticism when it comes to what Disney does. They think everything that Disney does is great, and I find it difficult to believe that that many people like everything. If there is a band/singer that you like, that you are a huge fan of, there is always a song or album that you don't like that much, or at least not as much as the others. Don't get me wrong, there are people on the other side of this that don't like the re-theme that have no objectivity about it either. But, if these vloggers/podcasters are always giving the thumbs up to everything Disney churns out, then they get invited to media previews and events like that, and the ones that are objective and give criticism along with praise are not invited. Disney, along with pretty much any corporation out there, do not like negative press, and will do anything to discourage it. I don't doubt the sincerity of normal, everyday visitors that have a differing opinion; it's a preference, and I get that. But most Disney-centric social media that never have anything negative to say? I doubt their sincerity and their motivation, for the reasons I have listed.
Edit: most Disney news sites, like this one and (I hate to say it) the Site That Shall Not Be Named, present the news in a very objective manner, so I don't include them in the people I mentioned.

Thank you for clarifying. I don’t watch or read the kinds of things you’re talking about; my sense of what fans think is based almost entirely on what is posted and shared here. The world of bloggers, vloggers, and influencers is alien to me, and it seems I’m better off for it.

I was well into that whole scene for years, but moved away from it. It was getting very toxic and boring and repetitive, tbh-30 different vloggers/influencers reviewing a new cupcake gets to be kind of ridiculous after a while.

Folks are going to like Tiana's and folks are not going to like Tiana's that's just the way it is.
Tiana's is fine, not great, not awful, just fine.
Selfishly I hope the standby is not too long of a wait. If its not too long of a wait I will go on it.

Especially when you know the outcome ahead of time.
Unless the joy is the journey at how they get there.

I dont get why passholders who have a park reserve for that day cant just get in line and wait..its not like the queue can't handle it....the virtual queue makes it impossible when it comes to having to travel over from somewhere else, or any dining reservations etc.
They certainly are whether genuine or not. They are given a list of approved words and nomenclature when reviewing products. They like to stay on the list and influencers have influencer marketing specialists on Disney's team.
It's their job.

Assuming they can actually keep the attraction running, give it a month or two after its open to the public then standby will be back
Right now they can’t even keep it working.
