Let me start by saying that I am no expert on WDW, I just present my view point. I don't care how they inter-relate. I am the customer (one that Disney still has, for the present). I know that my higher priced ticket now lets me in the park less hours per day than it used to. Value lost...

Cut hours. Cut ee. Cut e-ticket. Cut back entertainment. Close attractions. Close parks for a day at a time (rumor) RAISE PRICES! Makes sense to me. :confused:

I know this is getting off the topic of this thread, but, I agree with an earlier post that EPCOT is one of the best parks to catch characters. The Characters on Holiday (I think that is what it is called) has lots of characters and its stops are posted in the times guide. It is never crowded...

Maybe they could close the parks at random, thus keeping that magic Disney "surprise" alive. Picture if you will: You've just parked your car in the television parking lot at The Disney Studios because the close lots were given to cast members in order to reduce their walk time to work so...

I'm voting with my wallet. It is as much principle as dollars. As I said in a post before, I don't think I'm alone. Besides, I'm saving a ton of money using priceline for offsite hotels. :)

We used EE every time we stayed at a resort and it was offered at the Magic Kingdom. Having two small children, it was a wonderful perk. We would be there when they opened the gate at 7:30, and could ride everything that was open with ease. No long lines in the heat of the day with grumpy...

I would be happy if they just re-started EE at the Magic Kingdom. Just on Saturday. Anything. We were there this past Saturday, and between the crowds and the heat, its tough. By the time the gate opens at 9:00, it is already 90 degrees. Just one thought on whether the elimination of EE...

I don't know if I read the article correctly, but are they requiring guests to carry palm pilots all around WDW? I don't remember my keys half the time.

I was re-reading the book Designing Disney's Theme parks recently and came upon a picture of Ward Kimball and Walt Disney at the Train Exposition in 1948. The author noted that it was the setup at the exposition that really led Walt to begin to formulate the design of Disnelyand. Seems his...

I agree with previous posts that the ride is much better that the first re-hab, but overall is.... OK (Sighs slowly) Looks like this is what we can expect these days, just OK.

Magic is in the eyes of the beholder. What makes Disneyworld/Disneyland magical for me may not be what does it for you. For some, it is the major attractions. For others, the theming. I imagine that the depth of the magic is relevant to how often you go. On your first trip, you might be...

I agree with previous posts that AK has great theming. The attention to detail on the enviroment is as strong, or stronger than any other park. I also enjoy taking time out to sit and soak up the atmosphere. It also has good e-ticket attractions. Safari, Lion King Show, Dinosaur (which I...

I have an interesting reply to this. I have two daughters, ages 5 and 1.75. We live 2 hours away from WDW. On our last 3 trips, we have never left EPCOT. I have read posts in this thread that people now consider EPCOT a half day park. We do not agree, and neither do our kids. I'll give a...

I enjoyed the booths at the exit as well. I just didn't think the major attraction needed to be built around that. I guess what really bugged me was that the attraction previously was a fun attraction where members of the audience added sound effects to a film clip, and then the clip was...

Maybe when they put something in the ABC Theater they will get rid of the horrible show next door. I really enjoyed sitting in a pitch black theater with headphones on listening to Drew Carey pretrend to be a private detective. Anyone want to come to the defense of this attraction?

Nothing like standing in line for 45 minutes for a free ice cream bar. We are new annual passholders, are all the events this horrible?

Another point on this topic. There has been a lot of discussion here that the cast members go above and beyond the call of duty on a daily basis. I agree with this, I have experienced it many times myself. As many times as I have been to the parks I can count bad cast member experiences on...

Sorry, thought you were responding to my post.

My pet peeve nibble, nibble on this topic was that they took the closest parking lot away from paying guests, if indeed that is what was done. Especially if it was done to minimize cast members off-clock time and save a few bucks. That's my customer service beef. Unless, of course, the...

Does this have anything to do with cast member parking being the lot nearest the gate now? Has this always been the case? I was in WDW this weekend. I always get to the parks early, and it does not seem that I can park as close as I used to. Maybe giving them the closer lots cuts down on the...
