Hey all, I just wanted to say thank you for all of you who understood where I was coming from and understood it was only my opinion and not an attack on Disney. It was also nice to see those who didn't quite see the same way as I did remain civil and add a quality different point of view. As I said, I am a huge Disney fan and will continue to be a huge Disney fan. I have been on the DIS for over 11 years and have met several members here on the DIS in WDW and I hope to meet many more in the future. If there is a Disney website, I'm on it. If there is a Disney FB site (even the DIS one), I'm on it. If there is a Disney publication, it's probably sitting on an end table in my family room. LOL... My 1/2 bath in my house is Disney themed, my patio out back in the garden area is Disney themed. Geez, I'm even typing this in my Disney lounging clothes.
I'm sure I will book a future cruise with Disney, but this time my expectations will be more in check and when I do or if I experience a server as I had I will be certain to talk to someone sooner than day three. Disney by no means is perfect, but then again, neither are any of us and certainly, I'm far from perfect. I guess in short, while I love WDW I'm just ok with my
Disney Cruise experience. I pay good money to stay in the Deluxe Resorts, I enjoy the Signature Restaurants, I almost always stay Concierge in the resorts, and I even paid to add 3 more FP+ per day with my recent visit. All of these things while expensive, I found value in them for me and am willing to pay. Others certainly won't. Some find
DCL well worth the cost, I'm still up in the air on this one. I guess that's what floats our boats (Pun intended), we are all different; that is actually a good thing. Next year as I said in my initial post, I will be doing a Silversea cruise to Alaska and a land excursion to Denali. After that, perhaps I'll do that Mediterranean cruise with Disney. I'm willing to try something a second time and give them a second chance. (except Le'Cellier, LOL). I even gave ABC Commissary a third try a couple of months ago......... It was not bad.
Again, thanks, everyone. I completely enjoyed reading each and every response on this thread.
