When vacationing at any Disney resort you will see guests, cast members, and other employees with a lanyard and a variety of Disney themed pins.
These pins have been the Disney parks for fifteen years. The pin trading tradition started during Disney's Millennium celebration. This was stared so there could be an interaction between the guests and any Disney employee. This was a way for the guests to continue their story once they went home and to also bring it with them if they ever traveled back to any park. This is one of the great things that the pins have to offer. You can bring them to any park around the world and trade with a guest or employee at that park as well.
The reason for these pins is for the guests to be able to trade pins and create and cherish memories while they are traveling and vacationing all through out your life to the different parks. You are able to trade pins to all of the different parks including Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland Hong Kong. Disney Auctions, Disney Store and Disney Cruise Line. The Disney Company wanted guests to be able to extend their memories and bring them with when they went to multiple resorts as they grew up.
It is very fun and simple to trade pins. All you have to do is visit a participating resort, listed above, and find a pin that you like that a cast member or Disney employee is wearing and go up to them and ask to trade that particular pin for one that you already have. It is that easy. You will then be able to bring that pin home and keep them memory with you forever. Some of the rules that do apply are:
The pin must be the traditional cloisonne or hard enamel Disney pin.
You must be trading at the park or resort that accepts trading.
You cannot trade pins that are damaged.
For safety make sure the black safety back is attached.
Trade on pin at a time.
No counterfeit pins will be acceptable for trading.
When there is a discretion Disney cast member will have a final say.
This is a great way for Disney fans and cast members to get involved with each others vacation and add a fun and light activity to your day. I think that again Disney does a great job at promoting their products and getting people from all over the world to connect and stay connected with their products. This is also connecting people from all over the world and making sure that there products and brands are seen in a great way and make sure that every guest has a great time and then that they bring that experience to others so that the Disney experience to spread to others all over the world. I think that pin trading is a great idea and a great way for people to interact all over the world. Another great idea that Disney is optimizing and letting their guests use to their advantage.
When people think of Disney they are probably thinking about the movies, parks, television shows, memorabilia or many other things. This just shows that the Walt Disney Company does a great job of advertising all of their many aspects of the company. Today I will pull a selected few of the different advertisements that the Walt Disney Company has and talk about how they are similar, if they are different and what I believe to be a great advertisement.
First I will show you the advertisement for the "I Am A Princess" campaign. This commercial advertisement is great and has a lot of awesome things involved.
Some of the elements are:
All cultures of little girls
Relatable figures including all of the Disney princesses
Simple messages to empower young girls
Characteristics that make up a princess
This video shows that the Disney Company enjoys their followers and want to make sure that their guests feel comfortable and want to talk and brag about the Walt Disney name.
This next video is an advertisement for the Walt Disney World Resort. It shows all of the different aspects that go into opening the gates and starting a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World. It than goes through what you can do through out the day with shots of the food, rides, activities and much more. This is showing all of the happy families and guests that are vacationing at Walt Disney World. That is one thing that all of the videos and ads have in common. Disney will never show people not having fun while on vacation. I think that is a great idea and I believe that it would not be ok to show people who are not enjoying themselves. I enjoyed this ad and I think that it is great to have something like this to try and get people to your destination.
The final video that I found was one that most of you have probably seen because it is the one that plays before the previews of a Disney film. This is an important element of any movie. If you do not have an eye catching introduction it is more likely for the audience to ignore what is playing and just zone out until their movie starts. The aspects that I think are really great in this ad are:
the variety of movie clips through out the ad
the music in the background
the description through out the whole ad
This ad includes a lot of the different movies including animation and real acting to relate to a wide variety of viewers.
The next four pictures are all still photo advertisements. They are also all about the Disney parks that are in Florida and California. I found it very interesting how similar they all are even though they are different parks and different years. Each one of these could have been used in a magazine, newspaper, brochure or billboard. All four of the advertisements have some sort of Disney aspect in them whether that be the castle, a character or something Mickey. This is a way that the Disney company is relating to their audience and making sure to draw them in.
This ad has a nice addition into the advertisement with the family laughing and enjoying some treats together. Family is a very important part of the Disney experience.
The two ads here are both including the castles in the ad. This is one part of Disney that everyone knows about so having this as part of the ad is important and something that everyone can relate to.
With the addition of Goofy to this ad it makes a connection with all the Goofy fans. This can be the children that love his character or the adults that loved him as a child. There is always the fans that will relate to the characters no matter how old so having an ad with the characters in them is a great tactic.
This is an ad for a toy that is using the Disney princesses. This is including two of the very important parts of the advertising theme. It is showing a happy child that loves the toy that she is using. They are also connecting it to the characters. This is always a good idea because when children are walking down the aisles at a store their eyes will be drawn to the items that they know about. Most children know about Disney so having the princesses on the ad is smart and the children will relate to this product.
So through out my post I talked about a few different types of ads that Disney uses. I also gave my input on what I think about them. All of the ads that I have seen for Disney are very good and include great aspects that can relate to their audience. They are always showing the smiling faces that prove people are having fun. They also show the relatable parts of Disney including the characters and the castle. The ads are very similar in some instances including the ones on the parks but then there are a wide variety for the different movies. Well the information on Disney ads has come to an end so I hope you comment if you have other insights or thing you would add otherwise have a great day and I hope "your dreams come true!"
When looking into staying at a Walt Disney World Resort there are a lot of things that you need to look at when booking a resort. There are things that are family specific including things like price, location, theme and time you are planning on staying. These factors can be an incentive or the deciding factor of where you stay while on vacation.
Disney has done a great job in marketing and having different options that I talked about in the previous post so I will not dwell on that. This post is all about the different resorts and their pros and cons.
This website breaks down every resort in Walt Disney and talks about why it would be a good fit for your family on vacation and also why some hotels would not be a good fit. Things that are being compared in the website are location. This includes how far the resorts are from certain parks, restaurants and other entertainment. This information would be very useful when going on vacation because of the different family plans. If you plan to visit only certain parks then having a hotel close to that resort would be very nice. Also if you plan to stay at a resort and do a lot of traveling to other parts of Florida then having a resort on the outskirts of the Disney would be the best.
Another aspect that the website talks about is the price of the resort. This is a huge factor when deciding on a resort for your vacation. Going to Disney can be a very expensive trip so for some families so the resort might be the place where they try to cut on costs. All of the Disney resorts are nice and something you will not see on every vacation so even if you are booking a cheaper resort you will still have an amazing vacation.
Commuting is a major issue when traveling to Disney because of the fact that most guests fly and are either using a rental car or public transportation. Since this is true being able to use the Disney transportation from each resort to the parks. The website talks about how long each bus ride would take and also how many resorts share each bus route so an estimated time you will be commuting.
In the website it shares what kind of beds and rooms each resort has. It talks about how many people each room accommodates and the size of the rooms. Some resorts have smaller rooms than others. The beds are also differing in type and style, king, queen two doubles, twins and others. This is very important because of the fact that each family is a different size and has different needs.
The websites include different things that each resort has to offer whether that be the children activities, adult activities, hotel accommodations, pools and other close by resources. Whether you are traveling with a family, as a couple or by yourself this very important in your decision of what resort to book and enjoy your vacation in.
Finally I will talk about the impact of the theme and Disney aspects that are in each resort. This is important because some people do not need all the frills of Mickey and Minnie or the princesses and others need that to make it feel like a Disney vacation. This is the bread and butter of most Disney vacations so it can be very important to most vacationers but there can be some cons to that with it being busy and loud and usually full of children.
This website is very useful to plan your Disney vacation stay and to choose the right resort for your Disney vacation. It is also very nice to see that Disney does such a great job at distinguishing their resorts and uses their awesome hospitality to have great resorts, parks and a vacation that makes their guests dream come true.
