Even More American Idol Experience…

Marketing

There’s still more news coming from Disney’s American Idol Experience this week. A commercial for the attraction ran during tonight’s airing of American Idol. The tagline was “You can be part of the next Cinderella Story”, which is the same message they’re using on billboards around town.

I like the theme of the commercial, although I found some of the technical parts of it less than inspiring. I’m expecting dozens of people lining up each morning for expressly to have a chance at their Cinderella story in the attraction.

A Winners List

Tonight marked the fourth night of public performances of the show and the fifth Dream Ticket awarded. I have the names of three of those Dream Ticket holders and have started a list in an attempt to collect all of them going forward. If the winner so chooses, they can then provide me links to their YouTube, MySpace, or other internet pages for a chance at growing a following before they even get to the real auditions for the television show.

I’m counting on you readers to help me build this list as I can’t be there every night (although it may seem that way sometimes). The winners name and their song would be excellent.

Walt Disney World offers deal to Florida Resident

One of the comments that was made in the 1Q results conference call was that Disney’s theme parks had seen a larger drop off in visits from locals than had been expected. Also mentioned was the expectation that  further admission discounts would be coming. Well, here’s the first one. Florida residents can get two parks for two days for $99 ($83 for ages 3-9).

Tickets must be purchased before May 20th and the last day to use the tickets is May 21st. They are “Magic Your Way” base tickets, which means they must be used within 14 days of first use as well.

Details below the cut or visit DisneyWorld/99.

Is Disney acting like its in a recession?
