Test video for the images being projected on Cinderella Castle. Blech.

I think they are about equally tacky (and I did not go THAT year either).

Trust me, this campaign doesn't hold a candle to the Pepto Bismol castle. That thing was fugly, and you couldn't escape it. It was there, 24/7.

I'd rather have the huge pepto.. I mean pink birthday cake castle. JK
Actually, my kids loved the pink birthday cake castle.

I guess I'll wait and see. As a promotion, I'll admit I'm disappointed but at least it's just for a short show!

at the idea of being humbled by not being WDW's target audience Thanks for the laugh--seriously (not snarky).
What did I say that makes you think I am in ANY way trying to "force" WDW (or any place/company) to market to me (oh, and i ma still a few years from 40--though I do not think it is my age that makes me not the target at the moment). All I said was I do not like it, I think it is tacky, so I am going to do something I will like better (which happens to market to ME--meaning my personality not my age; I am pretty sure if you asked Celebrity cruises who their target age range is for MEd and Baltic cruises it is not mid 30s with tween and teen children--but their product and advertising appeals to me and mine right at the moment, as does DCL by the way, but WDW's no longer does).
Actually, I think I am very quite easy to please. I vacation LOTS of places. I do not need Disney to make me happy (though I have enjoyed it in the past) and I do not compare one vacation experience with others and find short comings, etc. However, not being wealthy, and loving to travel, I cannot go everywhere so i pick and choose the best fits for me at the time. Essentially, like you, I am "letting my own feelings" about what I expect to find at WDW now "make the decision about whether or not to return" to the world right now. Simple as that.

For someone that's easy to please, you sure are fighting this issue awfully hard.

I could see it being a big deal to people if the pics were somehow affixed to the castle all day and night long, but honestly we are talking about a show that lasts a few minutes which the pictures do not play a huge part in. I honestly believe that anyone who states that this is the reason that they are skipping MK next year may be being disingenuous. It's rather like someone who states that they will never return to MK because they replaced the frontierland fry cart.

Oooh I DID love that cart though...

Yeah, Disney didn't find it to be healthy enough for you, so McD's got the boot. And I'm sure there were other big wig ideas that got in the way of continuing to run it.

I think the technology is amazing, and will open up new doors. So what if their first idea isn't the greatest. 10 years down the road, I'm sure you'll be wondering how a firework show could be so good without all the effects on the castle to go with it.
