DisneyWorld. But while she was looking out the foggy window, her eyes glanced at the the stack of mail from the children’s hospital laying on the counter, her heart sank. She just wished that she could have a few more years with her son. She wished there was some hope for her sweet and kind-hearted boy. She became frustrated at how anyone could pick on someone so undeserving. Before she let her feelings ruin Nicholas’s trip, she rushed outside to take him to the happiest place on

Disney displays an interesting effect on the global Asian market through their park based in Shanghai. The Disney’s theme park collects its revenue from four main areas, admission charges, merchandise sales, food and beverage, and other miscellaneous fees such as locker rental. Middle class families, tourists and residents are the main customers to the park. Disneyland is in the business of theme parks. As the main motivator for tourism trip and core factor of related products, theme parks are important players in the tourism industry. In 1955, with his extraordinary creativity, Walt Disney established the first theme park Disneyland in Los Angeles, California. Different entertaining activities were combined to create a dramatic and fancy world, which attracted numerous tourists from all around the world. An image was presented where attention was paid to cleanliness, visitor comfort and quality. This was all reinforced by the famous Disney cartoons. (Kemperman 2000) With the success of Disneyland, there are a growing number of theme parks all over the world. However, because of the differences in economic distribution, culture development and consumer behavior, the development of theme park in Asian market has far behind the western countries. Therefore, internationalization is on the plan. In 2017, China reached the total amount of 1260.01 USD HML in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the number is expected to continue climbing, which became a fertile ground for theme
Walt Disney enjoyed instant success at the originally Walk Disney World in Florida, as well as Disneyland in Tokyo, Japan. Expanding to the highly profitable continent of Europe was next on the agenda for management. Ultimately Paris, France was the selected destination, due to the regional demographics combined with the financial incentives provided by the French government. Unfortunately for Disney success in Europe was not as straight forward as anticipated.
My first trip to Disney World, now that, that was a memorable trip. That trip was one of the most magical and happiest memories of my life. It was back in 2008, I had just turned 6 years old a few months before we left to go there. It was summertime, and the weather was perfect. I remember being so bored on the way there because I am an only child so I didn’t have anyone to entertain me besides myself. My mom’s side of the family went on this trip with us, and at the time I was the only grandkid, and the only kid at all. So once we finally were almost there I remember passing the big ‘Welcome to Disney World” sign and being so excited I peed my pants--my mom was pretty mad, but my dad thought it was kinda funny so I didn’t get in too much trouble.
For a person visiting Disney world, they can think of it as “The Happiest Place on Earth” for them they can take that to mean, one of the most uplifting and bright places a person can go. They are taking on this feeling that whatever they identify as happiness, can be found at the time of visiting the park. That is the affective
The company as a whole employs 196,237 full-time and part-time employees. Walt Disney World uses 66,000 people to run and operate the entertainment giant, while its predecessor, Disneyland, has 23,000 employees. 66,000 makes Walt Disney World the largest employment site in the world (Vault, 1). We couldn’t find a geographical distribution of the employees specific to the theme parks, however we were able to find an overall distribution for the company as whole. 77% work in the United States and Canada, while 12% operate in Europe and 8% are in Asia (Vault, 1).
With Disney Land/World earning the title of one of the world’s most visited theme parks, they need to incorporate a supply chain / operations to reflect this stature. For their process structure, they employ a great deal of importance with customer contact. All actors for characters are auditioned multiple times a year and must go through a rigorous process to stay in character. Disney understands the magical, surreal illusion of their theme parks is critical to the commercial success of their brand. Being timely and efficient is important to any business.
In May 2013 Disney produced a billboard advertisement marketed for “World Ocean Day” which is one June 8th. This annual observation honors the world’s oceans. The advertisement is directed towards keeping Earth’s water clean. The advertisement was placed on billboards throughout the United States. This advertisement not only market to children, but it also markets to families and Disney-goers. As Walt Disney even said “You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.” The advertisement is set in the deep ocean blue with Ariel, form The Little Mermaid, and her friends Sebastian and Flounder swimming around. Ariel comes across a magical droplet of water that encompasses the Earth. The droplet illuminates with a beautiful, magical light. From the deep blue colors of the ocean the words “water, keep it clean” appear in a gorgeous vibrant yellow. The phrase “It’s part of your world” appears from the glistening light off of the droplet. The 2013 Disney’s Water Advertisement ultimately is effective By utilizing emotional, logical, and credibility appeals.
Here Disney had strategic plan in terms of consumer focused initiative. A consumer initiative often includes steps for a company to increase sales by differentiating products in the marketplace, marketing goods or services to new demographics or creating a new customer service function to handle customer requests.
Welcome to the happiest place on earth, otherwise known as hell. Imagine entering a place where the air smells like fresh homemade cookies, the lush green trees are shaped like animated characters, and the sidewalks are always squeaky clean. The employees or “cast members” appear to be clean-cut, happy, wholesome, all-American people. This is the image Walt Disney World provides for its guests. But what goes on behind the scenes at Disney? Until a person has worked for the “big mouse” she won’t be able to understand the torture that can go on for employees. I’ve been in that Disney “cult,” part of the “wonderful world of Disney.”
