He showed another television ad for the local market. This one featured two dogs, a mutt and a dainty poodle, enjoying a romantic evening in Disneyland. The theme song “So This is Love�? was snubbed up short when the punch line revealed that the mutt was merely day dreaming of his romantic encounter. After the laughter died down, Ouimet introduced the “star�? of the spot, who obediently trotted in from the wings, headed past Ouimet, then returned to accept a Lifetime Annual Pass.
Matt Ouimet presented the star
of the “So This is Love�? TV spot with a special life time pass.
As the dog made his way off stage, the poodle suddenly headed across in the opposite direction. Ouimet threw his hands in the air, and said, “She prefers California Adventure, and he prefers Disneyland!�?
Matt Ouimet warmly greeted his
“boss,�? Mickey Mouse.
Drawing to a conclusion, Ouimet introduced “my boss, and your pal,�? Mickey Mouse. Applause filled the theater as Mickey entered to excitedly announce Walt Disney’s Parade of Dreams. Live performers entered and described it as Disneyland’s biggest parade ever. They began to sing as music filled the air and images of the parade floats filled the screen. The Disney characters entered, joining in the dance and celebration.
Among the dancers was Tinker Bell.
Confetti filled the air for the grand finale.
As the group struck a pose, Matt Ouimet took the stage a final time. He thanked all for attending, concluding with the words, “We invite you to come home and celebrate the happiest homecoming on earth.�?
