Adventureland in MK to open at 10 a.m. daily beginning Sunday

[Mimi Q]

Just read this on wdwmagic.com:
Starting Sunday 28th September 2003, Adventureland will open to guests at 10am on almost every day except high attendance days.

Didn't we have something similar just a year or two ago?

 

[DC7800]

Yes indeed, we dodged this particular bullet once before. I'd assumed this idea was dead...

Now, why am I afraid this won't be the only previously rumored cutback to again rear its ugly head?

 

[WDWHound]

Park hours go down, ticket prices go up. Such a magical experience.

 

[Bob O]

Now how will the disney apologists spin this as a benefit to the park goer or that this isnt a reduction???

 

[Kaitysmom]

Is this for real?

 

[Walt's Frozen Head]

Yes, it's for real.

UGH!!

 

[Captain Hook]

Thats just GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! We cant even make a DVC ressie for the month of Nov. or get a hotel room(with the execption of All Stars not that theres anything wrong with that). And now I read that there cutting hours even more. Please let me put our families hard earned money down on another Disney vacation.

Yes it is a cut back ...

Yes it will be a slight inconvience ...

but there is so much of the park to enjoy before 10:00 AM ...

it really isn't that big of a deal.

Please tell me you are just being sarcastic due to this latest cutback

We are a fmily of 25 going in November, most of us first timers! For months, we have planned on Pirates as being the first ride we ride together!!! It definitely IS a big deal to us that Adventureland won't open until 10:00

Bad show..........this is plain and simple bad show.

 

[DVC-Landbaron]

Well, well, well. Is anyone really surprised?

All in all...

... It's just ...

... Another brick in the wall!!


Well, what will it be this time? Anyone's last straw?

Or are we going to justify and excuse this action?

... Anyone... ? ... Anyone... ? ...Ferris...?

 

[Bob O]

I guess i have the apologist's response!!!

Chip, chip, chip, a little less for the money. I tend to go to adventure land first when I get to the MK. This will take alittle more away from the experience. Open at 9:15 or 9:30 maybe since it does take a little while to get there to save some payroll but 10?. Whats next mm pay toliets, water fountains. This Dec will be my 4th yr in 5(including 12/01)and on and off since mid 80's. With the cutbacks i might skip the next yr or 2 sad to say.The experience is getting less and less.

Not impressed...certainly hope that they change their minds about this one.

So, during the "slow" times they will cut hours and cut the attractions open during the cut hours. OK - bad idea. To top it off, during the really busy times when you can't even get near a ride without the long waits, instead of increasing the hours they let you buy another ticket so that you can stay and maybe get on the rides. Next thing you know they will be treating the park like it does on EE days and only have Fantasyland and Tomorrowland open until 10:00.

 

[JDH]

coroporate weasels. Maybe they could save even more money by cutting Eisner's hours?

 

[Captain Hook]

Well Landbaron I think this is the last straw, for are family anyway. We love all things Disney like everyonelse on these boards, but when do the cuts end? I know November is booked solid in the hotels and DVC. Why delay the opening of Adventureland? How about Toontown or maybe Tommorowland(they are down to three rides anyway) Or if maybe the hotels are booked solid lets just keep everything open and give the guests a great show!!! We have been to WDW many times and as a member of DVC will return many more times in the future but for now I think we will try the otherside of town. Hello Spongebob Bye BYe Princess

Remember that catchy little catch-all phrase:
Attraction times and availability are subject to change without notice.
