With that in mind, I think this event was brilliant. What makes it even better is that — with this being the third such event is recent years — Disney and guests now know what to expect. Thus, instead of frustrations, there is a sense of camaraderie throughout the parks as those in attendance share such an experience together.
I woke up just a few minutes before the parks closed on Saturday morning, and saw tweets and Instagrams of the sun shining on smiling faces (complete with tired eyes) as guests shared their goodbyes and thank yous to Disneyland. It would appear that the event was a success — if only that it put any talk of price increases to rest for while. Yes, Disney is a corporation (and a huge one at that), but it’s also a lifestyle and this event captured that. I think Fanboy put it best when he said: “Rock your Disney side? Is there any other side?” Not for me, there’s not.
