Disney's Whimsical Express
It's sort of magical but not as intense...

No company is above selling their souls for money. If they were desperate, theyd try. They’d figure out an ad campaign to bring in guests, but not sound ignorant about what’s going on.
If you're there early enough check out the Sea Lion show. It's the only show they switched over.headed to Sea World this evening to check out their Electric Ocean Remix event, currently SW is he only park offering fireworks to end the night, should be interesting
Sea lions tonite is a highlight of the event, I'm streaming the 8pm showIf you're there early enough check out the Sea Lion show. It's the only show they switched over.
I think it’s just as simple don’t think they want to throw big money at an ad spend right now, given the current climate.
They surely have projected what the potential return would be if they did a big ad spend right now. I suspect it may not be that much, not worth a big ad spend. Wait until numbers turn around a bit, the general public is a little more comfortable/confident traveling and go all out. It’s just not time yet.
But HEPA or ULPA filters are not quantified to eliminate/neutralize COVID-19 right? I thought the company that Virgin Cruises employed advertised 99+% of effectiveness for COVID-19 neutralization? Do you have other data to support HEPA can have the same effectiveness?
Just go during the week during the day.DH and I were discussing, tonight, whether we'd feel safe enough at Disney Springs on our non-park Central Florida trip in 10 days to pop into any of the stores. We were watching Tim Tracker's vlog about DS at the time and then saw the line of people pouring into WoD. Not sure we are comfortable with that...but it is my birthday trip...DH said "I'm gonna have to run into the store and grab you a baby Yoda like PeeWee Herman rescued the snakes from the pet store aren't I?"
That's our plan. Lunch at Homecomin' then out of there.Just go during the week during the day.
One thing that a lot of people aren't realizing, is that a majority of those comments about increasing crowds occurred around the time when local passholders were able to return to the parks for the first time since March. I'm not confident that that rush is going to continue forever..They didn't for a chunk of the day, but they have been higher than they were the first couple of weeks. I think people go first thing in the day, do everything they wanted to do, get tired of being hot with a mask on, and leave (not everyone, but a good number of people). Makes for longer waits early in the day and then thinning crowds later, especially at DHS. It has gotten busier lately, as some people have commented, but I wouldn't really say it's busy in the old sense.

No distancing markers, this one is done for good.
Still locals, still right after the blackout ended.Looking at the AP calendar, there are a lot of greyed out days already in August, and all the other ones, majority of them only have Epcot left (there's a few in there that can still book MK or AK)
No. It would not be worth it and has nothing to do with perception. Why do people not understand that people just aren’t going to fill airplanes right now or jam into hotels or spend that kind of money.That’s kind of what I mean though. They’re not at the level of desperation to even try to coax people to come down with an advertisement. I dont know how much it would cost them between making the commercial, and airing it, but I would assume if they were to air it during the NBA games on ESPN/ABC that it wouldn’t cost as much to air as it would on other networks.
You gotta remember that the general public doesn’t see park updates, low wait times, policies and enforcement the way hardcore Disney fans do. I know people that are under the assumption that its business as usual at Disney just with masks, no fireworks, no parades. A lot of “I’m not waiting 3 hours for the avatar ride in a mask with that heat”. Not many people know these lines are as short as you’ll ever see them.
So even if they were to convince 100 cash paying families to come down and visit that it would probably be worth it to air the advertisements, depending on how much it costs them.
But I’m not paid to make these decisions, and I’m sure all options are on the table. But I can say with almost certainty that airing advertisements has nothing to do with public perception
That's our plan for our trip as well. Even have a full day off Monday in order to do it. If crowd is low, might even stay longer. We will see. I have to have a cold one at the hole in the wall though!That's our plan. Lunch at Homecomin' then out of there.
