From the article, "A Disney World spokeswoman says 80 percent of the comments on social media about MyMagic+ have been positive, and just 2 percent have been negative."

Ummmmm, sure.

This article was linked from a different site a week or two ago, we mocked the 80%-2% thing pretty hard.

From the article:

“Magic Kingdom was definitely a worse experience,” he says about a recent visit. “You used to be able to get there at 3 or 5 p.m. and still get a FastPass. Now all the FastPasses for top rides are being wiped out by 10 in the morning.”

Yea, one of the variations went through drudge last week. If you thinks it's negative up in the Dis...The comments there could have pealed paint.

I think a billion dollars could have been spent far better...like a new park! I think these disney executives are living in Fantasy land.
