Everyone knows that things aren't perfect right now. It's a tough time, change is hard, and there's a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) going around. But remember, folks, this board is for strategies and the spirit is to try to be helpful for people who are planning Disney vacations to help them get the most out of their trip.
There is very little point to the overwhelming negativity going around, its not helpful, and if anything it's arguably painting such a negative picture that even if things went well for someone, they might come away with a negative impression just because of things they've read here. The fact of the matter is that if this is someone's first trip, why are you setting them up to have a bad experience? Would you have liked that if someone did that to you? You're spending a lot of money on these trips, so why wouldn't you want to help someone have that magical experience we all remember?
We can't change what Disney is going to do (and even if we could, THIS isn't the place that's going to do it), but what we can do is try to bring out the best of that Disney service we all appreciate so much and try to be positive and helpful to others.
I realize I'm probably spitting into the wind here, and after all, this is the internet and people tend to be jerks when they're anonymous. But I believe we can all be better than that. Try to have a positive outlook, be helpful when people ask questions, and try to keep the bellyaching to a minimum. Most importantly, remember that no matter what we might want to happen in the future, we have to deal with what's going on now, and it is still possible to have a wonderful trip even with the current changes. We can help make that happen for people.
