: But... how many people actually were curious enough to stop and figure out exactly what was going on down there in the parking lot? I know that if I was down there with my family, shuttling my kids from Epcot to Magic Kingdom with only a few days to see everything in the state of Florida, it would be hard for curiosity to get the better of me and go down there and investigate the brightly coloured flags.
While I can't speak for everyone, I can say personally that whenever I've been down to Disney for the competition, I've stopped to check out things a lot smaller...and while I don't think there's any way that we'll know for sure exactly how many of the other guests at WDW are stopping by our 'little' show, I find it hard to believe that with the number of people that passed by those tents each day, a substantial number of them weren't interested enough to stop in and see what was going on. I know that every time I saw the monorail go by Einstein, everybody's eyes in it seemed to be glued down at the arena.
: I do think Disney could do a better job of promoting. All those flyers that hotels put out with 'What's going on at Disney this week' could include FIRST.
Definitely! They are always telling us at opening and closing ceremonies that we are the largest event they host, but we don't get a mention in their flyers, and I haven't seen anything on their web site's 'events this month' list since '98. While something doesn't seem quite right about that, I still appreciate all that they DO put together for us, but there's still a few things that they can improve on...
