The big critical piece mentioned is just some marketing fluff without any receipts or analysis. Calling the hotel “a 48-hour movie that passengers were actually a part of” ignores the entire video. “Every part was designed for enthusiastic interaction” ignores valid criticism of most of the building. I’m not really sure that it really “was proven that the price was indeed worth it” given that the only evidence was TripAdvisor scores, only one of many forums for such ratings. The rest is just strawman bullshit.

It's lazy PR leftover from their initial prep of what consumers would take issue with, re-released using a sock puppet working-class Disney employee pleading for sympathy.
