Ok.

Obviously filmed over the course of many days:

I'd start the camera at the hub, peering down Main Street, just as the rope drops.

People start coming in and you can already see who's who. The families toting the SUV stroller, the young couples on vacation, the pin traders. Some run, some saunter, all have big smiles on their faces. After a moment follow them around the hub and show the ones that stream across the drawbridge.

Cut to the next camera angle - set outside the Indy Fastpass area, aimed toward the Tiki Room, for a full shot of Adventureland. The runners either jog past or duck in for a Fastpass grab then jog out again.

Cut to the entrance to Space Mountain, where the Fastpass grab is more concerted.

Cut to Fantasyland where people weave through the switchbacks to steal a ride on Pan before the line forms. The first Casey train pulls away from the station with fresh faced passengers.

Cut back to Adventureland, now that the slower families are making their way down. Cut to the big rides loading passengers - Big Thunder, Pirates, Splash. Show people in stores, show the Twain beginning to move, show Mickey posing for the first picture of the day.

I'd wipe the sound on the whole montage and play something intrisically Disney on top. Not "When you wish upon a star", anything but that! (If it were a night sequence I'd go with "Second star to the right" but it ain't.)

After the park is in full swing, come in with voiceover about what people expect from the Disney experience. Just why are these people so excited? What is it about this place that is so engaging?

I'd then cut in with very short interviews with people at the park in the morning. A couple of lines, such as - "We love when there are no lines and everyone has time to help you, so we show up early." "Everything is so clean in the mornings, it feels special." Unscripted, real guests. Then the voiceover could continue that what we need to do is maintain this feeling of cleanliness and personal customer service all day.

That's just to start!
