Do You think DISNEY has gone down hlll the last few years?

[DisneyAlly]

Off topic but when I saw mention of the snack zip bags I had to write. I love them not only for snacks, but wipes, floss etc and especially Money. Paper money fits perfectly in them. I never take my wallet on vacation. I use one zip bad for cash and another for my ID, CC etc. They work great!

Haha! I thought my DSis and I are the only ones who carry ziploc bags with us on vacation. I use big gallon bags to protect cameras and cell phones when going on water rides. Little ones are great for keeping money dry inside those money purse at water parks.

I started a few years ago when I accidently found out that they were a perfect fit for paper money! I, too, use the other size zip lock bags for many items including shampoo and any other liquid bottles in my bags!

Hasn't this exact same thread been posted since the advent of message boards on the net? Yet every time I go I just don't really see it.

Have to agree with you. I haven't experienced any of the "bad" stuff to date. I will be sure to post here when I get back from vacation this month if I did experience anything that makes be believe WDW is on the decline. This will be the DW and I's 7 trip since 2004 and all the vacations have been great so far.

I started reading this thread before I went on my vacation (9/2-9/6) and I just read some more and I have to say, this past vacation was the most magical yet. We met so many wonderful cm's, our hotel was beyond my expectations, the food quality was way beyond expectations (with only 2 exceptions to that, which will come in a dining review at some point), and the only negative things I encountered were with other guests. You certainly can't blame Disney for that and even those were few and only at MK, where it seems people are the rudest anyway. Hey, there's an idea for a thread... why are people so rude at MK and not at other parks?! But I digress...

Maybe my expectations aren't as high as some people's, but I've been to Disney many many times in my lifetime and I just don't see the magic going downhill.

you would think ziploc would come out with an ad campaign showing 1001 uses for a baggie. we use them for any and everything in our house. in fact, we keep the heavy duty gallon size ones in the glove box as a porta-pottie for our boys. it's saved us from disaster on more than one occasion.

Hi jmm476!

Glad you had a great vacation! That's always good to hear. We stayed at WL and didn't like the room so we moved to YC. We had a fantastic time, the YC is awesome.

Anyway, where did you stay, if you don't mind me asking? Yes, I can agree with you that some guests can be rude.

We just invested $50k in DVC (490 points at BLT and BCV) over the past two years and LOVE it!

You say no, but your avatar betrays you.The fix me for the yeti on expedition everest has been quite a hot button topic on these boards and quite frankly I believe would fit well in this thread.It is another example of something disney has let go and should be repairing in a little more timely fashion!

I agree totally. All my liquids travel in ziplock bags so there are not unauthorized leaks. I even carry EXTRA ziplocks as needed plus especially large ones to carry home icky laundry or wet swimsuits for example.

How on earth did Christopher Columbus cross the Atlantic without ziplock bags and duct tape????

I agree.

Don't forget Disneyland's new (2009) Fantasmic Dragon. Head fell off during dress rehearsal and was out for ALL of the summer - even though the new Fantasmic dragon was the cornerstone of the summer's advertising.

That would be an ...... OOPS.


(and I agree about Betty the Yeti. I'm getting a little tired of Disco Yeti).

 

[Donut23]

Another tea party of sorts?

Oh my GOSH.......NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Our primary is next Tuesday and all I'm doing is answering those crazy robo-calls. Good thing?....they are VERY easy to hand up on!


Sorry, have no intention of starting a political bender so I'll stop. (can you believe it? A post less than 350 words!!!)

Hey Brunette:

The "snack" size bag is perfect for paper money. You can find them most places....Giant supermarkets, Wallyworld, Kmart.....even on the shelf in the Dollar Store.

You can also get a variety of even smaller sizes at Michaels. I take a small cocktail of meds + vitamins. They have teeny little zip locks which fit my daily pills perfectly. I fill up enough to 1 1/2 times the days I'm gone.....then put them all in snack size bag.

The teenzy ziplock bag assortment in Michaels in on the same wall with all the glues and glue sticks (don't know why).

Enjoy,
ZLP

We pack our clothes in ziploc bags-1 outfit/day then I punch little holes in them and repack with dirty laundry for the way home.

But aren't you paying RACK rate on your resort? I guess they only give one discount, either 40 percent off your lodging or the FREE dining. Now if you had a family of 4 or 5 are you saying that would be a better deal? I'm not sure how that works? What do they charge, say 2 more adults to the price? Anyone know? So, if I went with my DH and inlaws, would it be cheaper than, say just the two of us going? Sorry bout all the questions! LOL!

Brunette

I worked our vacay out and the 40% off room was WAY cheaper than the dining plan for two people for us...

I wonder if he had MacGyver's great great....... great grandfather as 1st mate?

Has the Yeti worked for more than an hour or two since they opened EE?
