Just got off the phone with Disney CS EMH and other changes

[maxiesmom]

I was thinking the same thing. There won't be a rope drop anymore for "resort" guests at whichever park is offering this. Right now they are saying MK only, but you know if people pay, it will spread to the other parks. They have to keep capacity down to make it worthwhile. It will drive on-site guests to other parks, making them more crowded at rope drop. So those of us who love to show early will see more crowded conditions across the board at all four parks.

Why stress about what may happen? Isnt there enough stuff to worry about that has been confirmed? Why borrow trouble?

Just as some are venting about Disney, others are venting about the people venting. Both are fine with me. Kind of entertaining.

It's the circle of Internet life:

1. A change is made, usually a price increase of some kind, or a product that only certain people have access to: "Disney announces new special edition Jar Jar Binks napkin holder. $100 or free with VIP package."

2. Rabble-rousers flood the forum declaring shenanigans: "Thanks to Disney's money grabs and elitist policies, I am now priced out of this Jar Jar Binks napkin holder! Walt would have personally bought this napkin holder and dipped it in 24k gold for each and every Disney guest if he were alive today. Look I have one he gave me in 1971!"

3. Anti-rabble-rousers surface, furious that people are trying to rouse rabble: "Disney is not a charity, its a business. It's capitalism, if you don't like it, get the heck out of our country. USA! USA!"

4. Anti-anti-rabble-rousers surface, indignant that people dare try to prevent rousing of the rabble: "Obvious Disney PR troll being obvious, how much are they paying you? You getting a free napkin holder? That's the only way you could possibly defend Disney. Unless we tell everyone on the internet about this napkin holder atrocity, Disney will never change its ways."

5. Internet pacifists enter the fray: "Hey everyone, dont be so upset. The Disney spirit is about pixie dust and magic and happy giggling babies. Can't we all get along? When you wish upon a staaarr.."

6. Internet drama enthusiasts finally enter the ecosystem: "Hey guys, I'm not sure what I missed, but it sure looks exciting. Anyone care to fill me in? "

Then the next Disney guest survey comes out asking how you would feel about kidney donation as a possible payment form for a stay at one of its Deluxe resorts, and the cycle begins again.

P.S. Sorry if I offended anybody with my stupid joke.

You aren't being kicked out of the park before 10PM, Disney doesn't need to make things "fair" for anyone. The people who buy tickets to these events are also paying to use the park from 7PM to 1AM or 2AM. You are no different than them, you don't deserve lower crowds just because you spent the day in the park, just like they don't deserve lower crowds from 7PM until park closing. There is never a guarantee of low crowds at Disney, never. Even this "limited" event may not be so limited.

Actually they are buying ticket that allows them to be in the park 3 hours AFTER it closes. Not at 7pm until 10...oh I forgot that's a free perk right?

No actually they are buying a ticket that allows them to enter the park at 7PM and also enjoy 3 hours in the park after it closes. Its not free, unless you are so rich that you think $150 is free?

By purchasing a ticket to Disney After Hours, you can make the most of a truly magical occasion when Magic Kingdom park lets you in for the last few hours of the day… and then stays open for 3 extra hours at night, just for Guests of the event!

I'm not trying to argue for or against it, but I think the optimal use of this would be for a person who is planning only to visit Disney World 1-2 days. You buy this INSTEAD of a 1-day pass for an extra $40 or so per person in order to see MK more efficiently. It doesn't make as much sense for someone who is there for 7 days with a week-long pass.

If you're really feeling up to it, actually the best use would be to buy a 1-day non-park hopper and see Epcot (or other park of your choice) during the day, then buy this extra pass to see MK from 7PM to close.

Thank you for this!!!!
I've been sick in bed most of the day rotating between sleep, work, and distracting myself online.
This actually made me laugh.. But it hurt when I laughed..besides that though- it's brilliant.
