I wrote Disney about my disappointment with all the no magic changes and in particular reservation and hop rules. I said that I believe that Disney does listen and hope my feedback was forwarded. I also asked about the rumor that you might need to reserve the hop park too. I got a personal call back. It was not the typical party line. She said they are getting a LOT of feedback. She said she went up the chain and asked about the rumor on hopping and was told that was not being considered. If the changes upset you..I urge you to share your feelings and write. I told her Ive been a planning geek for a long long time. I have never seen such anger frustration and vows to be done with Disney from so many.
Here's my thing, Disney had made me "fall out of love" with them. Look, we werent supposed to go this year, i was very adamant about that, I had promised our kids that since we are skipping this year, that we would go next year. Well mother nature told me i wasnt going to Yellowstone this year, so with a month to plan, we flipped our 2022 and 2023 vacation plans.
I had a fantastic time at Disney a few weeks ago, part of that was because I told myself I wasnt going to let the nickel and diming get to me, and id go in with a positive attitude. I did, and we had a blast.
Day 6 of our 8 day trip we tested positive for Covid, so we packed up and came home. Disney refunded 2 nights of our hotel and removed the expiration on the last 2 days of our tickets. So we'll be back for a long weekend sometime soon to finish off this trip.
But unlike times in the past, i wasnt sad we were leaving, I'm not itching to go back. I bought a coffee mug this time, and only because we collect them, but its literally the only thing i bought. We've always bought park hoppers, and will never buy them again. The lack of evening magic hours is brutal, and now every park letting resort guests in 30 mins early, it means you have to be there at that time in order to hit some attractions, its hard and very tiring.
Disney has removed the magic, to me, its just not as fun as it used to be.
I've been on here raging about disney in the past, I'm done with that. I'm done with being pissed at them, they've taken so much away and are charging so much for things now, that it forced me to fall out of love with them.
It's sad what its become.
I shared my feelings about the parking fees at resorts a few years ago, and I like you i received a call back. The person i talked to literally told me the reason they were charging for parking, is because everyone else does it. That's when I knew Disney was no longer a leader in the industry, they were just like everyone else.
. I was thinking you just had to be in the park. Why is Disney so confusing?
