YOAMD invading World Showcase

HMF · 02-18-2008, 03:46 PM

YOAMD banners are now on every single lampost in World Showcase completely destroying the illusion that you are experiencing an authentic re-creation of the cultures represented.

Also they have added some more scenery to the Descent tunnel of SSE.

Ok so people know there's something called the "Year of a Million Dreams" going on...

...how many people actually know what it is? Does a picture of mouse ears tell enough about it to make it clear to people who've never heard of it before what it is?

..One of those banners on every lampost? Wow.. And from those pictures, it looks like they're like every 10ft. from one another... I guess this time they want YOAMD IN YOUR MIND, and it shall not leave your mind for your entire stay.
The whole World Showcase thing and YOAMD banners don't seem to go well together either.

Ok, that's just horrible design. what is the point of having a banner every two steps? ridiculous! thank goodness Disneyland is a bit classier.

At least they didn't put anything on space ship earth

see now this is just terrible... just the kind of thing I wouldn't expect Disney to do. So unclassy, so against the whole idea of theming and "storyline." Those banners better be down this December when I hope to go!!!

And completely reinforcing the concept that they are all united.

Well if all the countries were united that wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Could you imagine if they went to war? Just think you could have Japan, Germany, and Italy reform the Axis of Evil and they could attack America, the UK, and France.

They have started to invade DHS and the entrance to Epcot.

I just ignore the decor and have fun.

Well, concidering the fact that YOAMD is going on at Hollywood Studios, Epcot, The Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom it should be no surprise that they are putting up YOAMD banners.
