EPCOT in December

Please Note: These are hypothetical posts for academic purposes only.

The Goals of the follow hypothetical EPCOT Facebook and Twitter posts in the month of December are threefold.

1. To create awareness of celebrity narrators of the Candelight Processional for all Guests.
2. Entice Annual Passholders, DVC Members and Floridians to experience the Holiday specials at EPCOT.
3. Direct Social Media users to post their Epcot holiday experiences under the #EpcotHolidays2015

This picture will turn into Epcot’s profile picture for the month of December, to serve as a reminder with every Tweet.  The iconic “golf ball” officially known as Spaceship Earth, will then appear in every Facebook post and Tweet.  Whether or not the post is clicked on, the image will still bring to mind the theme park.
