Walt Disney World "Monstrous Summer" Press Event April 25th & 26th

I don't get the hatred for the wraps.

1. They're different.
2. They're temporary.
3. They're more visually stimulating than white with a strip.
4. They're always current.
5. Kids love them.
6. They're Disney branded (unlike Epcot sponsors).
7. Walt himself was a fan and innovator of cross-promotion.
8. They're relatively cheap (no major diversion of resources).

Well..... allow me to retort:

1. They're Ugly.
2. They're Ugly.
3. They're Ugly.
4. They're Ugly.
5. They're Ugly.
6. They're Ugly.
7. They're Ugly.
8. They're Ugly.

Wasn't Ricky the one who said the dragon would be for the media only and he was right?

You mean that dragon that 99% of guests never heard of or knew about in the first place?

I see that this is event is Wednesday at the MK, does this mean big crowds that day? It seems like everytime we plan to be at the MK there is something big going on that makes it unbearably extra crowded. I guess I better start paying attention to schedules better lol.

Crowds have been roughly average of late. Not insane but not nowhere near slow.

Yeah but what about on the press event day itself, or is it an after hour thing only?

 

[SirLink]

Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if this is old news.

The "featured" presentation is Thursday night at Epcot. They have a pretty neat gimmick planned. One-time only thing, like the Fantasyland dragon.

So is Phil Holmes going to get up on stage and perform Seppuku ?

 

[Jakester]

I'm happy, I get to pull another 24hour stunt at Magic Kingdom. Is it 6am thru 6am again?

I have no idea. I would assume it will not impact guest operations

Will someone else make the obvious joke here?

They've closed the park early before for press events.

 

[Uncle Remus]

How can they possibly have two days worth of stuff to share

Day 1. They have to put up some walls and a tarp to build the podium. Then they will reveal the podium. Shortly after the podium will malfunction.

Day2. The podium will be scrapped for a food cart. You will then have the opportunity to purchase a refillable souvenir mug. Written on the side of said mug will be the information that they had planned on telling you on day 1.

And?

 

[asianway]

Do you suggest the Company NOT tell the press about its marketing plan? That's the entire point of a "marketing plan." This isn't about earth shattering news for hard core Disney fans. It's about delivering the brand messaging to as large an audience as possible to kick off the summer travel season.

Are any press attending this event?

 

[aladdin2007]

the stitch kingdom article says May 24th will be a 24 hour party in the Magic Kingdom

Im pretty sure that was covered here on magic as well.
