Mr. Jobs, the largest Disney stock holder (thank you Pixar), needs to give them some tips on presentations.

this is so horribly rehearsed.

How long before the first lawsuits are filed from people unhappy about being exploited by Disney? I know I certainly don't want them using pictures of me in any castle show, website or tv commercial!

They have to ask before using your pictures. We were asked about 3 years ago for the rights to our Photopass photos from a particular trip, in return we were given vouchers for free Photopass CDs. And just now, in the slideshow prior to the press conference, they used my niece's photo. We were ecstatic.

Really, there was rehersal for this nightmare?

This event is so bad I started working again rather than extend my lunch to watch it.

Tips won't work for these poor souls - this is bad. So bad that it will become a case study.

Lame :brick:

Looks to me like the real announcements are over...and they weren't even announcements! :fork: I kinda liked Tom Bergeron's synergy joke.

"Let the Memories Begin" New campaign

 

[hoke2007]

Twitter highlights....

#DisneyMemories, because it's cheaper then actually building or offering anything of value in the Parks. (via @joebillmatt)

Oh, Disney, you can't say "Memories" without "Meh." #disneymemories (via @helloknitty)

Research Firm brings Powerpoint presentation to confirm: families like making memories on vacation #disneymemories @DisneyParks (via @TouringPlans)

People plan vacations with the intentions of creating memories? NO FREAKIN WAY!?!?!? Thank you Captain Obvious. (via @westcoasternet)

People create memories by taking pictures you guys. Did you know this? And they share it on social media sites!!! NO WAY!!! (via @westcoasternet)

RT @fakedisneyparks: Seeing that market research was like watching Walt unveil plans for Disney World. #goosebumps (via @EpcotServo)

Where are they going with this? Seriously? Present the new info.. Have a level of Showmanship about it. Be professional. WHAT IS THIS? (via @EPCOTExplorer)

Narcolepsy jokes... in my Disney parks announcement. THIS JUST GOT AMAZING. (via @westcoasternet)

Yeah, its pretty shocking that Disney realized that families do indeed make memories on vacations.


What are they going to figure out next, that the earth rotates around the sun?

 

[Captain Hank]

Ah! Fake British accents! That will make the press conference awesome!

Wow.

 

[Disneyfanman]

I'm still hoping that they will sneak one in there.

 

[gerryu21220]

I just wish I could actually SEE it! No matter which feed I try, the picture won't stay on. On for a second, then out for three. Really annoying!


EDIT: Yay! They finally fixed it!

 

[mightynine]

So, so far none of this info is new

Corporate presentations rarely do - but for folks like us who scour message boards for new info every day, very little is new. For the average joe however, this is new information.

And as much as I like Bergeron, he's rather lousy in this role.

 

[gamblepsu]

EKKK! I am so excited!!!

:ROFLOL:

Just saw one of the promo videos where this was an exact quote

 

[Omnimover]

They're going to save so much money on advertising with this campaign. I bet the shareholders love it.

 

[Merlin0402]

Wow, this was incredibly disappointing... why hype up something so lame?

 

[bladerunner]

They're going to save so much money on advertising with this campaign. I bet the shareholders love it.

I doubt Steve Jobs is loving any of this.

Arnold Scchwarzenegger is now on stage. Part of the new celebration will be an event called "Disney Recall". You no longer have to go through the struggles of airport security or finding a sitter for your dog. For the same price as a 7 Day Magic Your Way Deluxe Package, you can have a memory implant installed that will seem as real as any memory you've ever experienced.

 

[JustInTime]

It's not a bad theme and they are really great ideas. I just don't understand the need for a press conference. :shrug:
