The Big Announcement Tomorrow??? What is it???

[DenLo]

We watched part of it, got bored and went to lunch. Found out we didn't miss much when we got back. I can't believe that anyone would be interested in seeing another guest's memorable moment posted onto Cinderella's castle. I think they have missed the boat on this one.

Was this the memories announcement? You hit that one on the nail WD

I think this was the un-memorable announcement.

I think that even I overestimated what they would announce. Who besides me does not want to see a bunch of people projected onto the castle wall?

I was particularly entertained by the statistician who reported on the demographics of their survey. In fact, I could not tear my eyes away from the numbers that danced like chocolate-covered sugarplums before me. I image that the behind-the-scenes planning for this new brainstorm sounded like the following.

CM1 - "What can we do which will cost the minimum amount of money on our part, but we can tout as the most wonderful new feature for our upcoming celebration?"

CM2 - "Remember those old projector machines that were put into storage a year ago?..."

Love the comments, ....and totally agree, of course. They hyped this up, for THAT? Awful idea. Definitely don't want to see anyone else's family projected on the castle. UGH

I wasn't impressed at all...I would have liked to have heard the following:

1. "Disney begins construction of hotel & DVC project at National Harbour"
2. "Greece will be coming to Epcot with a film presentation, a Hercules dark ride and the restaurant, "The Moonspinners"
3. We're building something (anything!) that's new & original at Magic Kingdom...and it will NOT include a Meet & Greet.
4. Hollywood Studios will soon be home of brand new original D-ticket attraction, "Nightmare Before Christmas" dark ride.
5. We're re-opening "The Adventurer's Club" at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

I guess I can still continue to hope, but highly doubt I make it to the next "big news" event held live via the web!

Man, I wish you were the one making the announcement! Much better than theirs'. Fine with the theme, but nothing else exciting and it is MK's 40th anniversary next year. They could have done a lot better!

Wow, I for one, can't wait to take a picture of my picture being projected on the castle wall.

"Lordy, Lordy... the Magic Kingdom's 40"! I thought for sure there would've been some mention of that for next year. I agree... this is lack luster... the Castle turned into a Cake for the 25th was a celebration, although I wouldn't want to see that happen again!

...zzz....zzz....

They really should learn from OLC (Tokyo Disney) on how to do promos instead of doing these "let's throw them a bone" promos... Geez...

I got the email about this yesterday, and immediately deleted it as "nothing". Now I see that was the big "surprise". Oh well.
