I'm a lot disappointed with Disney lately.
First the AKV concierge mishap. It was handled very poorly and even tho I'm not directly affected it considerably lowered my perception of disney in general (DVC of course is the main issue).
And now Disneyland.
We were SO excited about going to DL to check out the GCV model in Oct.
I'm still weary about adding on in general after the aforementioned mishap but I was still excited about having another resort to stay in.
I had done research about the weekends to go and even decided that we can bear increased gay day crowd that weekend only to hear that DL is closing early (5pm - they changed it from midnight closing to 5pm) for Miley Cyrus B'day/Charity bash ($250 per person)...
on the only full day that DH and I can spend together in the park.
I don't understand why they have to have it at DL and release the info a month and a half beforehand.
Makes me feel like second class citizen. Take it or leave it kinda thing...
They are extending the DCA hours but we don't like DCA. There aren't many rides at DCA to support 2 parks worth of people after 5pm. They main reason we go is DL and now they're cutting the hours by half.
I understand that "hours are subject to change". But I never expected DL to close 7 hours earlier than the posted schedule just because they can.
They could set up the charity event at any location and people would still come... it's miley... people pay more than that for her concerts. I just don't think there's any overwhelming reason they have to do it in DL... Even if they do it at DCA people will be fine.
People don't go to DL for a week like WDW. They usually go for 2-4 days and to cut one of the days so short just doesn't seem right to me.
Well, we already bought flight tix and those things aren't quite refundable. So we are going and hoping to make the best of it this time around. Maybe I'm making too much of this but I can't help feeling crappy because I was already planning to have a nice fireworks night with DH on our first DL trip as H&W. No fireworks for us this time...
Anyways, Thanks for reading this far.
I just want to vent... I don't know where else to post this. I know that Disney can't make everybody happy. But on this issue they'll make a handful of Miley fans happy and p-o-ed the rest of park visitors...
