  • How Public Relations Is Handled at the Disney Parks
    Running head: MAKING THE MAGIC 1 Making the Magic How Public Relations is Handled at the Disney Parks Elizabeth DeMeo A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2014 MAKING THE MAGIC 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Stuart Schwartz, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Amy Bonebright, M.A. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date MAKING THE MAGIC 3 Abstract The Walt Disney Company has always been an organization that has prided itself on its corporate image. One of their biggest successes has been their 11 theme parks across the globe. Ever since its creation in 1955, Disneyland has been known as "the happiest place on earth." However, many wonder how this reputation came to be and how it is being maintained today. To find this answer, one must look to the creative minds behind Disney's public relations. By examining the Disney parks and their public relations history, tactics, crisis management and current and future campaigns, companies can find out the secret behind the success of the Disney parks and find out what works and what does not. By doing so, companies can take a page out of Disney's PR playbook and learn some lessons from the House of Mouse that will help them develop public relations strategies for their own organization. MAKING THE MAGIC 4 Making the Magic How Public Relations is Handled at the Disney Parks Introduction Say the word "Disney" and immediately you will have an idea in your mind.

  • Contested Kingdom: the Role of Online Media in the Relationship Between
    Contested Kingdom: The role of online media in the relationship between Disney and fans over Disneyland by William McCarthy Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts – Discipline of Media The University of Adelaide July 2019 Abstract: Over the past 30 years, the Disney corporation and fans in Southern California have vied online and in the park over the meaning and purpose of Disneyland. The arrival of online social platforms in the 1990s combined with the park annual pass program to enable Southern California passholders, who number approximately one million today, to show a strong sense of place attachment to Disneyland with visits on a monthly, weekly, and even daily basis. This thesis reveals how the nature of each online social platform, as well as social and cultural factors, have shaped the relationship between local Disneyland fans and the Disney corporation. In the 1990s, the characteristics of Usenet newsgroups afforded fans the cultural and social capital to build a discourse online to resist the directions of the corporation. In the 2000s, the characteristics of fan owned website discussion boards enabled the corporation to gain control of discourse online by bestowing cultural capital on fan owners with high transaction costs in exchange for positive coverage. In the 2010s, the characteristics of social network media, particularly Facebook, and the mass diffusion of smartphones, cemented corporate control of the discourse due to the co-option of influencers and fragmentation of online fandom. However, the low transaction costs of the new platforms led to a proliferation of online fan groups that established a multitude of new social formations in the park.
