You mean the Wonderful World of Animation

You mean the Wonderful World of Animation

Yeah what you said

 

[skier_pete]

did we actually hit a price point that even Disney fans won't pay?

A.k.a. This is the Tomorrowland Cabanas of hard ticket events

I would HOPE that was at least a part of the failure. I could see getting this price for exclusive event in SWGE, but just in a convention space in Epcot it seemed like a weird fit, and overly high price, very short notice...etc.

DVC members seem to be more slightly more intolerant to Disney rip-offs. The Reunion Station thing at Wilderness Lodge flopped too. And my personal intolerance is clearly lower than many Disney visitors as many of these extra events I consider to be beyond anything I would ever consider.

New Mouseketeer cupcake at Main Street Bakery

As a mom - that cupcake would be completely off-limits for ANY of my kids. Black icing nightmare.

I saw a number of comments from DVC folks that were thinking something like this for free for members would be nice - but to have people that have already invested this much directly to Disney and then charge this level of price was seen as a bit greedy and outlandish

I was happy to read that it will NOT replace SW Galactic Spectacular!

the Fairy Godmother at Tokyo Disneyland is pretty disturbing:

THIS ^^^ She was the other I had mentioned. When we were at TDR my son then 10 years old refused to have anything to do with her.

I'm not a DVC member but I totally agree with this. Memberships should have it's privileges same as staying onsite at deluxe resorts. Some of which look worn down like the Wilderness Lodge. To me the word deluxe should mean deluxe not worn down carpet and poor quality food etc.

I believe the WL DVC rooms are fairly fresh at least Copper Creek. Not sure when Boulder Ridge was last updated.

Yeah Copper Creek is new as of 2017 and Boulder Ridge is set to be refreshed in 2021, last updated 2014, I believe, but many DVC members think it and Old Key West were done cheaply. DVC has adopted a new refresh schedule of every 7 years the soft goods (sofa, flooring, mattress, etc) and every 14 years a full refurbishment. Old Key West was the first resort to get the new full refurbishment (correcting the cheap rehab that was previously done), next Saratoga, then Boulder Ridge, with Poly and Grand Floridian getting soft in that time frame. Plus they are moving to a Murphy Bed design instead of the sofa bed with the full refurbishments.

What the heck? I wonder why?

Could be a private event scheduled or something else that the park is needed for.

 

[skier_pete]

Or poor sales for the date...this may be wishful thinking on my part that more of these dates get cancelled.

possible but other recent dates have been selling out, so I would be surprised if that is the reason

They DO have pay events for members as well. Most of those are at a reasonable price point but not always. This was extremely high, but really not that different in price from like "Party for the Senses", which is maybe what they were modeling after. Just clearly not the demand.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

All this talk about getting married, is it official do you have a date set?

Hah nope nothing official but we have been dating for about 15 years so it might be time. Don't want to rush into these things.

the Fairy Godmother at Tokyo Disneyland is pretty disturbing:

I liked your post, but I want to be very clear I was liking the fact that you called it creepy.

I in no way like, or even condone, that character.

 

[rteetz]

Or poor sales for the date...this may be wishful thinking on my part that more of these dates get cancelled.

Yeah but I’m not so sure about that. The AK ones have been selling well.
