the first level of cutbacks didn't bother me that much. i understand that disney is a business, and must generate an adequate return or risk being taken over. i also agree that in the current environment complaining about petty nuisances is inappropriate, no matter what you spent on your vacation.
that said, the new rumors are driving me wild. i heard that by christmas they're going to:
1) turn off all electricity into the haunted mansion and give each guest a book of matches
2) take the undeveloped eagle pines site and earn federal subsidies by using it to store toxic waste transferred from the hanford facility in washington
3) introduce exotic dancers in cinderella's castle at a special midnight show
4) let qualified guests bid on "maintenance passes" which allow free entry in return for agreeing to fix broken attractions
5) put slot machines in the boats at "it's a small world"
6) sublet tom sawyer's island to the city of orlando for construction of a massive sewage treatment facility
7) put the lincoln robot in the frontier land shooting gallery and charge $100/round
8) enforce a three pint minimum at the rose & crown (well, this one may not be all bad)
9) make guests get out and push the wdwrr around the magic kingdom
10) let white castle build stalls on every corner of main street, and remodel space mountain into a huge slider
11) introduce bungee jumping off of spaceship earth
12) add a substantial variety of game entrees to the menus at the animal kingdom
**********
...but maybe you all have better information
