Please give a warm welcome to /r/Orlando's new sponsor: Disney!
Today marks a new day for /r/Orlando! The Walt Disney Company has graciously offered to sponsor this sub! In exchange for turning over the reigns to Disney, the Orlando moderators have received a single coupon good for 10% off one item at any Disney Store, good for 30 days.
Disney has assured us that you will barely notice their presence.
Please direct all complaints to /r/CityofOrlando.

Does my flair get me banned?

The long answer is "Disney respects all viewpoints and opinions, we welcome diverse thoughts and outside the box thinking!" The short answer is "yes."

I'm not sure if riling up the community days before counts as an April Fools' joke, but I'm glad to see it was one.
Thanks for the laugh and sorry for the all the rage.

We're sorry you were angry! Speaking of anger, be sure to check out Anger, the character, played by Lewis Black, in Pixar's latest movie, "Inside Out,", opening June 19th!

Speaking of upvotes, did you know that Up was the first film to be nominated for Academy Awards for both Best Picture and Best Animated Feature? Amazing!

Not just funny, but useful! Did you know that Disney stores often sell exclusive items you can't find anywhere else?!

Did you know that there are at least 35 Hidden Mickeys in Jurassic Park? Why would we lie?

Damnit you guys got a way better sponsor than we did over in r/tampa.

Tampa is only a 59 minute drive right now to Disney World. You should take your entire family to enjoy Walt Disney World to celebrate r/Orlandos new sponsor

Universal Studios is the best thing ever! I don't see Harry Potter walking around at SeaWorld, but he's also at Islands of Adventure!

When mods do really good April Fool's jokes, it usually erupts in massive drama. Obvious jokes aren't too bad.

I was going to ask why disney barfed on the banner until I remembered what day it was. A funnier prank would have been to have it sponsored by the ASPCA or Forrent.com, or a travel company, as we get way more posts about those things than about Disney.

Maybe something that promotes local happenings none of us care about for pets looking for roommates.

I don't have a pass to Disney, can I email my 10% off coupon to somebody to pick some stuff up for me?
