The paper discusses the wonderful world of Disney's marketing and the effects that it has on mankind.

From the Paper:

"While Disney's marketing is extensive to vacationing families around the world through radio, television, and the internet, the "Four P's" of the company are also on a broad spectrum. The prices for the Disney vacations are so varied that almost anyone can customize an escape to meet their specific needs. Prices vary by hotel packages, the time of the year, meal options, and the number of days to stay. The more days that are purchased in a vacation plan, the less the per-day price becomes. The place of the "Four P's" for Disney World is Florida, while Disney Land is in California. Disney also has other vacation resorts in Japan and France. Of course, Disney promotes its vacations through the various media channels owned, but the primary promotions are through travel agencies and the internet. The product is simply a vacation to Disney's resorts and/or theme parks by customized and individually specified plans. From a one day park pass to a complete all inclusive extended stay, the vacation options offered by Disney are advertised as a "Dream Vacation" that can fit the vision for a family's available budget."
