If you can’t tell after this post, I now have an annual pass to Disney World. It has been my dream to be able to go to Epcot just for dinner, or take an afternoon trip and ride some rides. And thanks to my friends (pictured below) contributing to the cost as a birthday/Christmas present, it’s a dream come true!
Anyway, now that I’m going and not rushing, I’m noticing more of those sneaky ads they have going on – they’re everywhere! I saw another Quilted Northern on the wall of the bathroom entrance at MGM (I will refuse to call it by its new name forever and ever). Here are others I discovered. Click on the first picture and you should go to the gallery of bigger images.
The Sparkle ad in the restroom at the transportation station has a little schmootz on it.
The Minute Maid logo has Orange Juice beside it, but the Lemonade is just the logo and I guess Minute Maid doesn’t contribute to making the Lemonade Slush – which is a dollar more because it’s slushy? One dollar more because of ICE?!? Plus, you can get bottled water Dasani or you can get a Smart Water – that I do believe comes in a bottle, and is a dollar more expensive because it has stuff added to it? But so does Dasani. Electolytes must cost more than minerals. I would love to be a part of a meeting where they determine pricing structures for items. Maybe the brands deterimine it, but I think Disney has more clout in demanding certain prices than that.
This was outside of a store in Tomorrowland. It feels like it’s a throwback from the 70’s.
The fresh whole fruit (apple or orange) costs only half as much as the ice cream and frozen treats. I guess because the fruit won’t last as long being out they want them to sell before they spoil. But I wonder how many pieces of fruit they actually sell when ice cream is a more “we’re on vacation, what the hey” option.
Coca-cola of the future. I bet when you first looked at the big logo you saw the words Coca-Cola. Take another look.
While most of the ads on the billboards in the downtown area of MGM were defunct, this one is in complete conflict with the Quilted Northern tile ad. They’re less than a block away from each other! Conflict, or because there’s no line of site, the advertisers let it ride?
I’m still amazed at how much film they still sell. I haven’t used film in years. You?
Those sneaky Craisins are back! They had a whole bog at the Epcot International Food and Wine Fest. Now they sponsor a real fruit stand at MGM. At least here, the fruit doesn’t have to compete against the ice cream. Maybe that’s why they’re sponsoring it.
I wonder if you can see the sneaky ad here. 🙂
Well, that’s all of the sneaky ads I have for now! Merry Christmas!
