We seem to disagree on whether or not the parachute manufacturer should be able to sell you a parachute if you would like to have an enjoy your skydive or if they have to just give you one because you wish to jump out of a plane.
How are the live action remakes anti-consumer? That's a strange example. Those movies being made isn't harming anyone. Whether they're good or soulless or entertaining is subjective opinion. I fully admit some of them seem like relatively low effort cashing in on established IP, but that's Hollywood in a nutshell. Others are very well done, IMO. I haven't seen most of them because they appeal to me personally, but that doesn't make me think they shouldn't exist.
Sorry, I meant that they're cash grabs rather than anti consumer. That was my bad with wording.
Very true. TBH I see more blind bashing of everything Disney does and questioning the motives of every little thing than I see blind defending. But both are common in enthusiast groups of all kinds. Like I always say, nobody hates Disney like hard core Disney fansNah, every park has their loyal fans. Loyal fans tend to either defend everything the company does or criticize everything they do.
It's more like, for years Disney was the skydiving company that included a parachute with your purchase of a sky diving trip. Now, you get up in the plane and they tell you, sorry dude, parachute costs extra.
Fair enough. I'd love to see more originality as much as the next guy. But I get that it's risky. For every original IP hit like Encanto, there are a bunch of clunkers. Hopefully they'll find a good balance.
I'm sure that's true, but I'm also sure some of those are people that have changed there mind about using their points. There's a lot of negativity coming from DVC owners too.
"For 25 years, I've heard that 'I'm not going to Disney World' on one hand, while they're handing them their wallet with the other," said Werner, who also owns Dreams Unlimited Travel.
Thing is, if the current product and lines are now $22, easily 25 soon, would many pay 50 for It? Would you pay 50 for half the current lines/G+ availability wait? I don’t think I would. Maybe for a quarter the current waits. Although folks pay way more for Universals, and some of those waits, like Grongotts, are still quite long. I’d never pay for Uni’s, but it’s an awesome hotel perk. As long as their hotels stay reasonable.
The comment wasn't about complaining about this or that it was saying in a nutshell you're done with Disney but then caving and going to Disney again. That has been something I've read for as many years as I've been on the Board. With this site there are a true minority of people who mean it when they say they are done. It's hard, not judging why someone does that, but it ends up defeating your (general your) stance and being like a YAGE only to reappear again.
Except you know before you go what it costs and you get to decide whether you want to pay it or not.
The ones I do see are usually (general comment here) ones that left Disney but still go to Universal. Those people are still frequent on the Boards but they are on the Universal side
Not always. We’ve sold three of our BWV contracts and after we take the grandkids on a long promised trip next month our last one will also be sold. Enough is enough.
