Actually, they aren't MSN articles, they just randomly get news stories from the internet and put them on one page. I think one of those articles is from the Today show and the other is from the Motley fool. Don't know if a real live person looks at them before they are posted or not. At any rate, these are the stories that the "regular Joe blow" (not the Disney fanatics) see. Good or bad, that's the impression they get, so might partially explain why attendance is down now. See what happens with attendance after the initial "Hoopla" from the 50th celebration dies down a bit.

Glad to see they did a decent job on SOME of the Lightning Lane signage...

Disney really hasn't done a lot recently to deserve much good press, sorry, they're telling it like it is.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens once the worst of the pandemic is finally over, and people have gotten their revenge travel in. I'm curious to see if attendance will take a big hit due to all the recent changes.

I think there is still a great opportunity for Disney to bounce back with lots of positives. They are taking a lot of lumps and bad press for unfavorable moves in a slow period, but they are ramping things up in preparation for the 50th. They still have a wealth of popular service offerings to release in the form of new rides, hotels, restaurants, and in the form of returning previous services. Once the sticker shock wears off on the price, the new Geenie will likely be well received (since now they have nothing). For years the massive price hikes have not upset customers, and there is no reason to think it will start now. They have set themselves up to have a great bounce back over the next couple years. I suspect this is the low point for Disney World.

Ooh, I figured they'd be shinier, but I'm glad they aren't, much better for photographs!

Awesome!
We have a quick trip next week and didn't think we'd get to see these. My adult DD is going to be thrilled!

They look more bronze than gold, which is what I was expecting.

Is it just me or is the page not working to make online dining reservations?

Most of them are just fine, its just the couple that aren't quite as nice that everyone freaked out about. Leading to it being more likely that those ones are temporary imo.
