well, i got sucked in yesterday with the football games on, and decided (over and over) to try it.
I ended up mad (like all of you) and on top of that had 2 crying kids from them getting booted half way through the mazes.
So, heres my letter. (sorry if i "borrowed" some lines from previous letters) lol. feel free to do the same with mine.
Hello,
I am writing in about this "maze event" this past weekend.
On Sunday, both myself (vmk name MousseDude), and also my son (VMK name ShocoMousse) and my daughter (VMK Name PixieBecca) were trying to go through both the meduim maze and the difficult maze and we all would wait in line to get in, would get into the maze and through the first 2 or 3 rooms and then boom! We would get disconnected and/or booted from the maze. Many times people simply would not move in the maze, cause massive backups and we would eventually get booted from the maze or get disconnected altogether because we had to stand in one place unable to move forward or backward due to the log jam. Of course then we would have to start over with 400 other people in line again, which we did, repeatedly. We had two computers going at any given time and we all literally spent hours getting in line (We WERE, however glad to see there were 3 rooms on Sunday as opposed to the mess on Saturday) behind 200-400 or more people and repeatedly tried to finish the maze.
I must say I was really looking forward to this event for the last two weeks, and my children were even moreso. We were very frustrated that, despite our repeated attempts, we never even got to complete the maze because people would not move out of the way of the teleporters, or we would lose connection. The people refusing to move is our biggest complaint. We would have to sit in one of the maze roms waiting to be able to move, and undoubtedly we would get booted or disconnected every time.
I am an adult, and while I am very disappointed not only in the event, but also in the Disney company (which my family truly adores), I can live with my disappointment. My children, however, were literally brought to tears over it all and it is hard to console a 10 and 13 yr old when I myself am feeling the same frustration and disappointment in the whole thing.
We all really wanted to complete the mazes and try and EARN the prizes on our own, which one of the staffers told us would be the new haunted mansion master gracey pin for the medium maze and the candy cauldron for the difficult maze.
This event, its planning, and execution, however, have made that impossible. I guess what my question is, is that will these items be for sale so that I can get them for my children, and also myself?
They are VERY disappointed in not only VMK but also Disney at the moment, and I would like to be able to tell them SOMETHING.
If they will be for sale, then that is fine, although the three of us are still very disappointed in the execution of the maze event.
If they will not be for sale, I do not know if there is a way to award the three of us the prizes anyway. We were unable to complete the mazes, so that does not seem fair to get the prizes. But then again, the whole execution of the maze event itself does not seem fair either so we will leave it in your hands.
Thank you (in advance) for reading and responding quickly.
