If you could wish ONE of the following

[Peter Pirate]

What would it be?

 

[Distriv]

I want max hours back, why do I have to leave the park at 9:00!? I want to enjoy it as long as I can, plus who wants to sit in a hotel room from 9:30 til I go to sleep (on vacation thats usually around midnight).

 

[DisneyKidds]

Why have Ei$ner resign of course. Once that happens all those other things are sure to follow . Likewise, with Ei$ner at the helm none of the others has a snowballs chance in hell of happening.................

Seriously though, for very personal reasons, of the three other choices I'd take the E-ticket each year. With soon to be (any hour/day) three kids we aren't much for midnight hours any longer. As seen in the transportation thread, we love having a car and not much would change that. It would REALLY be a hll of an overhaul. That leaves the E-Ticket additions. These would also be good for Disney as it would give guests something to come back for each years.

I chose restore maximum hours. I want to be able to enjoy WDW at its most beautiful (IMO) at night without worrying about being herded out by the supervacs or which is the ONE night to see Spectromagic.

I considered choosing firing Ei$ner but who's to say that the next guy won't be just as bad or **gasp** even worse? At least with the operating hours of the parks and smaller venues restored we'd have a nice solid base to stand on.

Besides we can still pray for the removal of Mike for those of us who feel this way.

 

[WDWHound]

I want them all!

Given that I can only pick one, I picked the e-ticket. It was a tough choice between that and the park hours. In the end, the excitment of having a new e-ticket experience each visit won out.

 

[Peter Pirate]

I picked the hours as it was the one most likely to affect me...Though in the big picture I'd think the Transporation issue may be the best choice.

I wouldn't pick Eisner because I figure he's bound to be gone soon anyway...Plus this is a fantasy poll from which maybe we can gleem some insight into the biggest problem(s) WDW may have.

I agree PG, that nightime is the prettiest time for the Parks and it's a stinkin' shame that we NEVER get to see one of them that way and during the summer we hardly see any of them this way!

I vote to have Eisner resign, and the sooner the better. All the other options are, to some extent at least, merely symptoms of a larger problem, while current management policies - represented by Eisner - is the real problem. Now, I fully realize he is not personally responsible for every little element of "bad show" or "dumb" budget cutback seen in the parks. He is, however, ultimately responsible (the buck stops here) for setting the current and future agenda of the company - an agenda which is most certainly destroying the parks as we once knew them.
That's not very well said, I know, but accurate enough.

I'd love to have restored park hours, but given respectable attendance levels a (new) future management team even half interested in creating "magical" parks would probably do something about that anyway. We might see 11 p.m. or something instead of midnight, but that one hour isn't really the point. Also, with four parks (not to mention the rest of the WDW resort) you really need multiple major new attractions every year anyway. Not all need be pure "E" tickets perhaps, as we need a balance of B-C-D tickets. Indeed, these "minor" attractions are part of what is lacking now, and one "E" ticket a year won't help that. Finally, something is almost going to have to be done about transportation at some point. Again, a management team which sees the wisdom of park investment can solve this challenge; Eisner can't seem to even understand it.

 

[DisneyKidds]

......but that one hour isn't really the point.

Ahh, but that one hour was the most Magical of them all .

 

[Bob O]

Ther first thing has to be to get rid of eisner!!!!!!!
As long as he is in charge all of the other options have no choice at all of being implemented!!!!!
Its a pipe dream to think eisner would add what was proposed, he is ito removing money from the parks, not adding to the parks.

Seriously though...

There was no need to go on!! You said it perfectly!!




(How about DisneyBaron instead?)

 

[Cricket2]

I'd prefer him be fired, but resigning will do nicely

 

[BCVOwner2002]

I'd go for the longer hours. It would be great if they were open later. Annmarie

 

[crusader]

Tough choices but I went with the e-ticket. It really was tied with the hours though.

 

[bearzabout]

My heart sinks when I remember the attractions recently closed: Hunchback (my fav), Timekeeper, Carousel of Progress, Diamond Horseshoe Review, Skyride, Horizons, the old Imagination ride. I want them back!

 

[hopemax]

I voted for Eisner leaving, although second place would be an E-ticket every year. If that happened, the crowds would come and the hours and transportation upgrades would have to done to keep up with the crowds. And if the hours were long but new things weren't added, it would be a slow death. Same thing with transportation; the theme parks need to be a happening place. If the theme parks are given the TLC they need, everything else will fall into place. But they won't get the TLC with Eisner at the helm.

 

[ThAnswr]

Get rid of Ei$ner!

Although he may not be responsible for every problem with Disney, there's an old Mediterranean saying:

"When a fish starts to rot, it stinks at the head first".

Much as I would like new attractions or longer hours, nothing of any substance will happen while Ei$ner is at the helm.

 

[KNWVIKING]

IF the hours are down because crowds are small because the parks are stale and boring to the X generation, then building E-rides should restore the crowds which will in turn increase hours which could possibly lead to a transportation up-grade.

Replace ME ???? With who ? Who "gets it" out in the corparate world ? Is there a name out there we would love to see get the job ? I'm not being sarcastic, I just don't think ME stepping down will restore hours,cause E-rides to appear or improve transportation issues.

 

[Liam]

The parks are so beautiful at night but cannot be enjoyed with the limited operating hours.

 

[gnome1b]

I voted for the transportation upgrade. I would love to see monorails connecting all the parks and maybe a few more resorts as well.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I have to agree with DisneyKidds don't see the other things happing until Ei$ner leaves.
I would love to see longer hours though.
Does any one else think Ei$ner sold his soul to the devil to get his job?
