You guys are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. |

Fri 5/23/2008 1:48p | Is it possible that this ad is the first part of a longer promotion? Perhaps they're trying to catch interest early on, by tying the new attraction in with easily identifyable imagery. Then, as opening day gets closer, the ads turn more specific and state that the ride is in DCA?
Just a thought . . .

So, rather than reshooting footage of the characters running through DCA/DHS, they went with Main Street, which is common to both resorts.
Or, they are evil and pulling a bait and switch, twirling their mustaches and laughing fiendishly.
Take your pick. |

Fri 5/23/2008 1:53p | ORDDU: Seriously, though, Disney really has become sloppy over the years in the way they represent themselves--just like the commercials for Walt Disney World that show scenes from Indiana Jones or California's version of the Haunted Mansion when, in fact, those attractions can only be found in California. There's supposed to be a 'Truth in Advertising Law' to protect consumers from misleading claims. Obviously Disney doesn't take those laws very seriously in some cases. Aside from that, I AM a dead ringer for Glinda!

Fri 5/23/2008 2:07p | Ok, WilliamK99, what happens if the family doesn't want to spend the day at DCA. What if they want to ride the new ride and still spend the day at Disneyland Park? |

Don't have to. Has anyone seen the East Coast ads for Toy Story Mania? How about you, witches? |

Fri 5/23/2008 2:25p | They have done the same thing for Mickey's Halloween Event

It says the location is the Disneyland Resort - but when I ordered my tix it says it's in DCA
Maybe with all the changes they are trying to change it to one name The Disneyland Resort - Like Walt Disney World Resort. |

That is because the most money will always go into promoting WDW especially since they advertise internationally and will often re-dub the same commercial.
DLR commercials run more frequently in the West and the Midwest and occasionally on the East Coast where I would think that DLR commercials may be a bit more general in their advertising of the park rather than a new ride. Hence this is why DLR commercials seem to be more in your face, fast edited, confusing shorts rather than the "when you wish upon a star commercials" everyone is used to seeing.
Staying on topic I do believe the commercial is misleading in a sense that everything seems much more close together and in your face than it probably is and one could think that the shooting galleries will be real however Disney knows that it's not the parents that they are marketing to, it's the kids since once the idea gets in a kids head they will hound their parents night and day until the kid closes the deal. |
