    Magic wearing off?

    Thanks. I'm glad I didn't come off as a cranky complainer to everyone!

    Magic wearing off?

    Not that it's a big deal, but: You said: *Lack of magic or buyer's remorse...sticker shock after a trip has been known to lessen the overall appeal (think those CC bills in January ). Our trip was very, very reasonable because of free dining - I can't think of anywhere else we could have...

    Magic wearing off?

    Your response makes perfect sense. I like that you said "This is not an excuse, but there is a reason." I can really respect everything you said in your post. It makes alot of sense. Thanks for not making it sound like it is somehow my fault that I feel the way I do. Really, I'm not...

    Magic wearing off?

    I did re-read your post, and you were the one to mention terrorists in explaining what was going on at the airports. You said "I blame this mostly on the terrorists who are trying to harm us for these problems...not the airport or Disney." Sorry, but I read that to say "blame the terrorists...

    Magic wearing off?

    It seems that some (most) people really got what I was saying, and some (not quite as many) just didn't get it. I certainly wasn't meaning to imply that WDW is a bad place to vacation and I would never go there again. Obviously, it's still one of the greatest places to go. A gazillion people...

    Magic wearing off?

    Why should anyone avoid EMH if it's supposedly something as an advantage to resort guests? That's absolutely ridiculous. Why do they offer it? And as far as Trinidad South - I told my TA I didn't want Trinidad SOuth. I requested Jamiaica (not a preferred location, just the village) and CBR...

    Magic wearing off?

    Your post is so true. My husband commented that in the past we never saw people doing any kind of maintenance during the day. This trip we saw all sorts of stuff. Now, if I'm not mistaken attendance at Disney is still rising. I'm sure their profits are too. Why are they cutting the night...

    Magic wearing off?

    I can understand that they had ALOT of checked luggage to deliver on August 13. What I can't tolerate is that basically, they were dishonest on the phone to us. They had a dozen different stories - where the luggage was, where is wasn't, when it would be delivered. When it comes to customer...

    Magic wearing off?

    Is it me, or does anyone else feel like the magic might be wearing off a little at WDW? I've been on these boards twice since our return (8/13 - 8/20) and both times have been to complain. Once about our horrible location at CBR (Trinidad SOuth = BAD), and once about how stinky I think the...

    EMH - why does Disney make them difficult?

    I don't think Disney has done a good job with this. Why does it have to be a crowded Epcot? Why can't it be a time where the lines really aren't that long - even under 30 minutes would be an improvement from my experience 2 weeks ago. And more rides should be available!!! How much is it...

    The Gripes

    As the mom of two teenagers, I do remember the difficulty of the strollers. I try to be very aware of them. I think the people who get "annoyed" have never pushed a stroller themselves. And, unfortunately, I'm going to have to really agree with you about many people in the...

    EMH - why does Disney make them difficult?

    OK: Don't jump all over me for this, but: Why doesn't Disney try to make their EMH a little more enjoyable for their resort guests? We tried to take advantage of a few of them when we were there 8/13-8/21, but in the end, I really don't think they're worth it. If they're not going to make...

    We had our own car - we had driven down. The problem is, we don't want to get in the car everytime you want a snack or a cup of coffee!! Or at least we don't. We like to drive to the parks, but we really like to be able to just take a "quick" walk to the hotel food court - key word there...

    You actually paid extra and were put in Trinidad South? Ouch! That would really annoy me. And isn't May not such a terribly busy time at WDW? That's what we kept asking ourselves: Why did we get stuck there when we checked-in relatively early (before noon) and I know LOTS of others checked...

    Does this sound too extreme? (tracking credits)

    Each receipt you get when you use free dining will tell you how many credits you have left of that particular category. I'm a pretty organized kind of person, and I was all ready to try to track our meals. However, once we got there I realized there was no need. They did it for you! (Our...

    They did tell me at check-in that we were in Trinidad South. Even though I'd read lots of stuff on these boards, I really didn't think it could be that bad. As I said, I had 2 previous great experiences at CBR!! I really wish I had asked then and there to change locations! Really, any...

    For some reason, it makes me feel better to have people agree with me. Validation I guess. Thanks!!! (By the way, when and if we do go back, I don't think I'd be able to stop my kids from insisting we stay at either the Boardwalk, or maybe the Beach Club. We went over there to eat a couple...

    Have been back a week now from our trip during the very first week of free dining. Have lots of thoughts and info, but for right now I have to give just one bit of advise: DO NOT STAY IN TRINIDAD SOUTH AT THE CBR!!!! This was our fifth trip to WDW (all on-site) and our third stay at the...

    Does anyone else have a problem with the cost of food for children???

    I saw that post as well......... We're leaving tomorrow, so I'm all over this board tonight. Always looking for one more helpful hint! I'm serious when I say it's disheartening to read some of these posts. As so many posters said before, we're one of those families that save long and hard...

    Does anyone else have a problem with the cost of food for children???

    or is anyone else starting to get a littled frightened? I'm in total agreement with the vast majority of the posters here (lying = bad)......It's just a little disheartening to hear someone going on about how proud they are of cheating. Don't get it.
