Simple! Instead of hiring actors, use WDW Cast Members in a giant song and dance number!

(Starts from about 5:00)
As per the description, this is quite possibly the oddest WDW Advertisement/Vacation Planning Video ever produced, even after you consider that it was produced in the early 1980s.

Gosh, this really makes me pine for the days of River Country! The "Whoop 'n' Holler Hollow" and the ziplines were some of the most fun times I've had in my life. And I'm not really even that much of a water park person! (I haven't been to Typhoon Lagoon in 17 years, and I've never been to Blizzard Beach.)
They should've shown the old Fort Wilderness trailers that really looked like trailers! They were pretty comfortable after a day-and-a-half van ride down from Boston, and they were well air-conditioned.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. ;)
More like the spontaneous and exciting feeling of being in a Disney park!
When the first HSM movie came out, that actually brought musicals back and made them popular again, but now that Disney has done so much with the franchise, (and a 4th film coming in 2010) HSM is now unfortunately starting to bring musicals back into the realm of ridicule. That's the way that I see it, at least.

I have seen CMs in DLR be rather entertaining but that video is so sugary sweet and silly.

My step parents got a travel planner disc for a future WDW vacation. We got a kick out of it because the voice did not meet up with the cast member.
What we did get a kick out of was when we went to WDW last Sept. The Disney channel with what to do, etc those cast members looked they had 100 cups off coffee and needed to visit the fashion police.

That video was pure cheeseball...and I loved every moment of it. :D:
1984 coincindentally was the first year my folks took me to WDW. The next year we stayed for the first time on property at Ft Wilderness. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
I miss Discovery Island :( and Dreamfinder w/puppet Figment (and the original JII attraction, for that matter)
Thanks for sharing this - it brought back some great memories. I really loved the WDW of the 80s.
