Excuse me, could someone tell me where this should be posted?

[BrianD]

Just a couple of thoughts...
Just as an example of DTD hotels being considered WDW / on-site hotels, the Hilton at Downtown Disney is called the Walt Disney World Hilton.

To me, I think the resorts board is meant for Disney owned & Disney run resorts. While all onsite, the Swan/Dolphin & DTD hotels are neither Disney owned or operated.

So why does the Swan/Dolphin get a free pass? Two reasons:
1. While they are neither Disney owned or Disney run, they are more closely connected with the other actual Disney resorts, and not just physically, but also in terms of transportation and other Disney resort privelages (with the exception of room charging privelages in the parks).
2. Swan/Dolphin is the sponser of the resorts board and therefore is allowed to be discussed there and they get their own "stuck" thread at the top of the board.

Just my opinion on the whole deal.

Without wishing to labour a point (but nevertheless am going to, hehehe) the Hilton isn't "The WDW Hilton", it's "The Hilton <i>in</i> the WDW Resort" - I even checked on the Hilton site to make sure I wasn't losing the plot I know it's semantics but it does make a difference.

Hey, never let the truth get in the way of a good argument!

I yield that point.

Disneymad,

First off thank you so much for your remarks, I really appreciate them. It is no big secret here that there are a few mods who I don't get along with anymore and I will admit that unless it was one of those that moved my thread that I shouldn't have gotten as upset as I did. I think the thought that bothers me is that in the past when threads have been moved the poster at least gets the courtesy of the moderator posting for example,

"Your thread has been moved to the Other Orlando Hotels board because we feel you will get better information there."

I got nothing. I actually had to go on a scavenger hunt for my thread, that is why I jumped to the conclusion of a specific mod being the one who moved it and I'm sorry for that.

I do realize that everyone here can't agree and can't like each other and always get along....I wish we all could and maybe I take things to personally at times when they weren't meant that way. I do realize mods are only human just as we are, thus the sometimes "hidden" digs from mods as well as posters. So unless my thread was moved by a few specific mods then I apologize for bringing it up.


Now I do agree that these hotels don't feel like Disney to me either, I was just trying to find out as much information as I could about them just in case there are no AP rates out for September. I figured the resort board being as busy and having as many people frequent it as there are that I would get really good advice. I remember getting great advice ON THE RESORT BOARD about the Holiday Inn Family Suites last year. But anyway I looked up the official sight and you can judge for yourself,

http://www.downtowndisneyhotels.com/

anyway thanks again to the mods who posted, I really appreciate honest opinions and truly believe I got them from you all

 

[Disney Doll]

IMHO, anything that is inside where I have to drive through a Disney gate with Mickey and the gang waving is a Disney resort. The DD resorts fall into that category for me, not that MHO means anything!

I would have posted it on the resorts board too Beauty. Can you link from there to here?

 

[glo]

regarding moved posts. When a post is moved it leaves a redirect. I just checked the resorts board, and your post on page two has a re-direct to the board it is on (there was no need to go fishing for it anywhere). Also, we do not usually leave a reason on the post itself, because only the OP needs to know the reason. If you have disabled your PM's and email, there is no way to tell you why it was moved. Maybe you should enable that if it is so important to get an explination.

Also only mods assigned to that particular board can move something from that board to another board. Again, without your PM feature and email enabled how are they supposed to tell you? Assuming things is a dangerous thing.

 

[Robinrs]

Waaaaaaa! Nobody wants to go to my board! waaaaaaaa!
Another US against THEM post!! waaaaaaaaaaa!!

 

[Pete's Mom]

I once posted on the Restaurants Board for some info on the Hoop Dee Doo Revue. It got moved to the Camping at Disney World forum I assume because it is in Fort Wilderness.

No problem though, I got plenty of responses.

 

[mhopset]

I once posted on a thread about Dan Murphy being missing, but it got locked for being off topic.

 

[Beauty]

One more comment and I'm through with this!

Robin is that one of your boards? I will definatly go there then! You and Judi are the two best mods and people in the whole wide world!!!!!!

Oh and about the redirect, its funny that there wasn't one there until today, none last night, none this morning, seems that was done only AFTER this thread.....but oh well......and as for assuming, its done all the time and can sometimes be more dangerous if you DON'T assume. And I was under the impression that moderators were always able to send pms and see our email addresses.

Anyway it doesn't matter...I asked my question and got the answers I wanted and then the answers I expected so all is well. Have a great day!

 

[Buckalew]

And I was under the impression that moderators were always able to send pms and see our email addresses.

Beauty, you are correct. I just read this yesterday, I think, on this board. I mod can always get in touch with you.
I think the Holiday Inn family Suites is allowed because they are a board sponser also.
Sorry this mixup happened to you though. I would have made the same mistake. Those resorts are always listed in the WDW book from the travel agents too so I thought they were considered WDW Resorts for the same reason as Disney Doll. Oh well.

Using 'Report this post' doesn't neccessarily mean we'll do something you want - it's a feature designed to call a Moderators attention to a post/thread that we may (or may not) have missed - in which case, we'll go have a look at it. It's perfectly within the guidelines for <i>anyone</i> to report what they deem <i>any</i> innappropriate post.......

I was specifically told that it is NOT okay to report a thread because you feel it is in the wrong place.
I am not foolish enough to think that using "Report this post" necessarily means the moderators will do anything about it.
I seriously doubt that the moderators are ever wrong.

I have to wonder about the thread, "Tell me the thruth is end of July tolerable?" which is on the Resort Board.
It was moved from another board TO the Resort Board?

"I once posted on the Restaurants Board for some info on the Hoop Dee Doo Revue. It got moved to the Camping at Disney World forum I assume because it is in Fort Wilderness."
Pete's Mom
That's just plain ridiculous. Glad you got responses though!

This whole thread moving epidemic seems very counter-productive. The moderators talk about how busy the boards are and how they are just human beings doing the best they can do. Yet, they are busy busy busy moving threads that are just fine where they are.
Downtown DISNEY Resorts are not TECHNICALLY Disney Resorts, or maybe they are?? Does it really matter? I'm sure NO ONE else would see that post as out of place on the Resorts Board.
When I questioned why the TAG FAIRY thread was on the Resorts board, I was "attacked" by a moderator.
Downtown DISNEY Resorts have more to do with RESORTS than tag fairies do.


Robinrs... I go to almost all the boards, including yours. I'm an equal opportunity DISer.
I just feel there is something wacky going on with all the threads being moved and/or closed.

OOOPS! I see that the post about July was moved FROM the Resorts board TO the proper board! Good job Moderators!
My mistake, sorry.

 

[Beauty]

Thanks Buck! Yep the first trip we ever went on the DTD Hotels were in the Travel Agent's Disney book.....but anyway...LOL!

I seriously doubt that the moderators are ever wrong.

You know the ones that do admit when they are wrong are actually the only ones I have respect for anymore.

Anyway, its not that important in the scheme of life...heehee....I'm sorry I just find this whole thing amusing (I guess cause I predicted the outcome correctly) and am laughing my butt off.

Anyway ... sshhhh.... we are considering HIFS too but I wouldn't want any opinions on this board...ssshhhhh

If of course AP rates aren't available when we need them

[CookieGVB]

The outcome is, it got moved to a different board and you got the answer to your question. What's so hilarious about that?

 

[becka]

Why do I feel like I am in junior high?

 

[katerkat]

Random thought: What about Shades of Green? It's on Disney property but not Disney-run.... (Of course, it's also not open right now, but...)

 

[Penny12]

Beauty, you can believe me or not - but I have no reason to lie - well...except for the whole big conspiracy thing I checked the logs on your moved post, it was moved at exactly 8.35pm <i>with</i> a re-direct. No one's touched the thread since. I'm not saying anything, but could it be possible that in your anger you simply overlooked it? The RB is fast moving, it could be that when you looked it had already dropped to page 2.

Anyhow, on that note I'm done with this thread. I've had threads moved, deleted, locked, whatever - even since I was a Moderator. Some I look back and say 'fair enough' and some I look back and still disagree with. However, just because I think I was right or justified or whatever, doesn't neccessarily mean that other people see it the same way, so you know what? I got over it. There are lots of things in life that aren't fair - I'm certainly not gonna get my knickers in a twist over a Bulletin Board.

Yeah, good point. I kind of wondered why that Tag Fairy thread...in fact, a few Tag Fairy threads stuck around on the resort board.

 

[gepetto]

I just find it a little odd that Beauty's post was singled out. I see stuff on there all the time about "doing the single digit dance", "how do I get a countcown clock", "what's the weather like in October", "is it crowded in June" and there are tons of trip reports.
