Can't wait. I am going to Disneyworld..... Well, I have to work for three days. Lisa
From: BigBob on 6 Aug 2010 13:42 Let them raise their prices all they want, I don't care anymore. When my AP expires in December, I won't be renewing it. Today's Disney offers very little to the local annual passholder. I used to enjoy driving over for the day. Since I'd seen and done everything so many times, my enjoyment was primarily eating in a sit-down restaurant, live entertainment, visiting the smaller attractions and watching the fireworks shows. Paying good money for no dining availability, gutted live entertainment, standing in line for an hour or more for the attractions that remain open, etc. has really gotten old. Sure, there are attractions and "places" I'll miss, but what little I love -- and, in effect, still have practical access to -- is just not worth the ever-increasing price Disney charges, for the ever-declining experience. It's insulting. Nobody ever loved the Disney themeparks more than I did! I have come to detest the Walt Disney Company and their business practices. (Where I *used* to admire the company.) Also, the rudeness and bad behavior by our fellow guests has seriously impacted the experience. (No, I don't blame Disney for this.) People snapping pictures, with their cellphones, cameras and video- recorders, in dark theatres and attractions is now the rule. Typically, I have to tolerate 6-to-10 bright LCD screens lit-up in the American Adventure. A few weeks ago, I had idiots shooting-off flash- cameras, during the dark Earth-view star-field at Spaceship Earth (directly into my face, as my vehicle had already rotated). A couple weeks before that, a jerk shooting flash-pictures during the entire Summer Nightastic fireworks, finally blinding me by shooting directly into my face. As is talking loudly during entire shows and attractions. People sit with crying infants for entire shows. Strollers as battering-rams. And, the crowds... Disney keeps packing-in more-and-more guests. Yet, continues cutting hours, closing attractions early and failing to operate enough restaurant capacity for the steerage guests without sit- down dining reservations. I hope they make lots of money.

[sigh] I see this all too often and not just in this forum. And I am not responding only because of Bob's Disney diss. I see dissing in here frm others but despite what I sometimes read I still come in, because I love all things Disney. I envy many of you.... most of you in fact. You have the ability, time and means to go to WDW. And sometimes more than once a year. I remember those days when we went several times a year. Right after 1 trip, we were planning the next one. In fact when we'd get back to our room we'd make notes to be sure to do this or that next time. And yes things back then had been complainable. Some of our notes were to NOT do this or that. :-) But we were thrilled beyond comparison that we were able to visit WDW. 23 visits from 1984 to 1999 and EACH one was better than the last. Ok, so we could not always get the dining place of our choice. So what if we could not see all the attractions we wanted to in 1 day. So what if we had to pony up an extra 20 bucks per night to stay at this resort or that one. And so what if we could not even stay at our first 5 choices of resorts. I'd rather sleep in an unairconditioned tent at WDW's campground than stay at the Omni Hotel. I'd rather eat dinner at Casey's than at the finest 5-star restaurant in Pittsburgh. No, I am not exaggerating. I LOVE Pittsburgh. You guys have heard me mention that name in just about every post. But a bad, stormy, hurricane day with having a headache, an upset tummy and a stubbed toe while in WDW is better than a super day in da 'burgh. Do I think people are wrong for their diss-opinions of WDW? Nope. But sometimes I just have to speak out. I tried not to respond to this thread 'cuz I knew this would be kinda long. But I just HAD to. Well folks, to those of you who have had it with Disney's money hungry ways and you have tickets you no longer want, email me and I'll email you my home address and you can send them to me. Or if you have airline tickets but won't go to WDW because you have to change planes 3 or 4 times, hey I'll take your tickets. You only got ressies for a few less-than-choice restaurants? Give those places my name. I'll be glad to eat there FOR you. Don't like DME or waiting 2 hours in line or huge crowds or strollers banging you in the back of the legs or... or... or whatever, hey I will gladly go in your place. Walt Disney World is still the most magical, wonderful place in all the universe. And when I am there using your tickets and stuff and Mickey looks me in the eye and asks where so-and-so is, I'll tell Mickey that I am here instead because so-and-so hates your money grubbing ways. peace out. john |
