I always wondered...does anyone take their FIRST trip to Disney with that in mind? That this is just the first one. Or do they take a trip to Disney World and everyone thinks it is their one and only, once in a lifetime visit? Until one gets there they don't ever have a clue whether or not it will be the only one. They may think so, but no one really knows.
If they don't return, is it because there was a cover on one of the buildings on Main Street and they could never get past that or might there be a different reason like economical or health? Would it really stop anyone from going again, really? Would it matter even if the park were pristine when they get there? Does it have that much of an affect on our thinking or is it just something to complain about.
WDW's Magic Kingdom is 40 years old. Even if they had someone continuously maintaining the buildings wouldn't something need to be replaced by now? I went to
Disneyland during the super special 50th anniversary in 2005. I had read how perfect everything was and how much effort had been put into the park because of the celebration. Guess what, I saw rusting pipes that were in place as queue separators, large sections of paint on "small world" missing and even a hole in one of the normally painted walls, a large chunk of a step broken off and missing at the train station. This was after a major uplift of the park and during one of the biggest celebrations they ever had.
I'm sure that there were many other examples of this that I didn't notice because that is not what I was looking for. What I was looking for was a theme park that offered stuff that no one else did and that 98% of it was in such a state that I felt that it was clean and exciting place to be. That was my only trip to California that I am likely to ever make, so that was my one and only visit. The only thing about the visit that bothered me was the fact that they had supplemented the Haunted Mansion for that Halloween overlay made of cardboard cutouts and day glow paint. It was in good shape though.
I'm sure this one was important though because every person I have ever spoken too can't wait to get to Disney World because they have spent their life dreaming about seeing the Bakery on Main Street. Now that it is covered up...they have fallen into a deep depression. Really the only way that this covers the view of the Castle up Main Street is if you are standing directly behind it on the sidewalk. Perhaps Disney should put up signs telling everyone to step to the left onto the street or the other side of the road so they can see it.
HAVE AN AWESOME TIME!!!
It is also the first time we are doing the MK view!
Regardless of the complaining - you are still at wdw, many people are not able to go.
What's with all the race and character attacks?
you will love the house margarita sold at the Tune In Lounge (or is it the Tune Out Lounge?) at DHS. They even offer to-go cups.
