I am glad I'm not the only one who thought this was stupid. And seriously, in New York City?? Why??

I for one do not really care to spend 1 hour waiting for a good spot and 30 minutes watching other people displayed on Cinderella's Castle. However, I do think it will be a good time to go on rides with less crowds!

I also thought that some of the "jokes" were in poor taste. I was just kind of uncomfortable watching and listening, like I was embarrassed for them and for the company. It was just plain dumb.

I admit that I was laughing at some of the jokes, but I agree with you cousininmiami, some of them were in very poor taste...I couldn't believe that TB was actually saying some of those things!!! :shock: I thought the first joke about the Hoff was funny (albeit, a bit brash) but when TB continued to jab at him, I felt a bit uncomfortable...

(...for the record, I have nothing against the Hoff :) )

I love how Disney needed to hire a research firm to tell them that people have good memories of vacations taken with families and friends. Why can I find someone willing to pay me large amounts of money to state the obvious?

I think it kinda funny that Disney wants your personnel videos and pictures, but they don't want your opinions or complaints!

Apparently a demonstration of what the projections on the castle will look like.

Nice detail on the sketch projection. They are using a similar setup on the hollywood pictures backlot to transform everything into "Tron City"

Yeah, unless you knew for sure you were going to be on the castle you wouldn't care, and even if you did, would you really want to go stand around and wait to see it?

If I knew I was going to be on it, yeah, I would stand and watch. But only to a point. I wouldn't stand there a really long time just to see it.

Yeah, even if they made it part of a show I still cannot see any draw that would entice more people to want to spend money to come down to the parks.
