Pete we need to show Disney our fan powers!!

[ArielRae]

If Disney thinks they can really do without their true fans then we can show what happens when their fans go against them and turn people away from their parks. We talk so great about them so other people want to go but if we talk bad see how fast those parks empty out and that stock goes flat. Word of mouth from a passionate fan is so great and can go both ways good or bad. Disney get your act together. I love disney so much but I can't afford your cruises, I can't afford Disneyland and I can barely afford to spend days in disney world spending money cause it cost to much. Anything to make us feel appreciated and make us want to keep comming back would do so much more for your company finacially then trying to have people spend large sums of money on things people are not going to buy like 23. You have lost site of Walt Disneys dream. An amusment enterprise where parents and kids can have fun together. That only happens when it is affordable otherwise they go elsewhere that is afforable and spend that money which can go farther. We'll just start making our family memories without disney as they don't seem to need us anyways.

Interesting post. I'm not sure you would get much support in this effort. Thing is... if we were to all boycott the parks, Disney would basically have to close the parks... then what would we do?

Also... how crowded do you think the parks would get if they lowered the prices even lower than they are now? You'd never get to stay on property again

In my opinion, I think Disney's prices are fair. Compare their theme park prices with other theme parks in the country and I think you'll be surprised.

Maybe it's time to stage some form of non-violent protest to show Disney how those of us who feel prices are getting too high how we feel.

It would be ideal if we could stage a protest outside the gates of Disney but I doubt we could get enough people together at one time to do it - and it really wouldn't reflect the entire fan base.

What about an old-fashioned letter writing campaign? What if we all sat down and put together a one page letter to Mr. Iger that expresses our displeasure in what we perceive as a lack of respect for the avid Disney Fan who is a repeat visitor to their theme parks.

I don't think it should be emails. Emails are too readily disposable but I think a ton of physical letters written with passion, respect and ideas for improvement will get their attention. I also think that if you have an Annual Pass you should copy it and include it with your letter - what a very powerful statement that would make.

Anyone interested?

this is not a bad idea and maybe they would make some changes. The only problem I see is Disney being a huge company it would most likely take time have anything move through them.

But I am all for it.

 

[Yvet]

I'm in!!!!!

It takes a bit more time to get a letter from The Netherlands to the US but i send them!!!!!

 

[DisneyDayTripper]

I see a market for "D23 = Bad idea" t-shirts....let's say a lime green color? Can you imagine Disney's response seeing them all around the parks?

 

[chirurgeon]

Great Idea. What is Mr. Iger's address? We just have to remember to keep it polite and to the point.

Count me in. I think a letter writing campaign is a great idea!

Anybody remember how to write a letter?

Seriously...let's do this and I think we should cooridinate so most of the letters come around the same time, power in numbers, we could all agree to
send the letters in the first week of April or something.

 

[ArielRae]

Ok John post an address so we can start our mailings.

Sorry my post was so tough on Disney but it is so fustrating wanting to do a disney cruise but not being able to afford even a 3 day cruise for just DH and I cause it cost so much more then a typical cruise.

John,
What a great idea, and physical letters must be opened as opposed to some number of e-mails that get reported as X% of messages to Sr Mgmt. When someone has to open the letters it will carry more impact.

Im in on writting a letter. If organised properly this could work well. I asee we should all send them around the same time so they arrive together as well.

 

[Jennygt]

I was thinking of something like this aslo, Iam in, we do need to organize the timimg of it.

I sent a letter not to long ago to Him and the chairman, and the CEO of Disney. I did get a response within a couple of weeks .It was not from any of them, but they gave me a contact number which I can use for this next trip. Sorta like my personal travel agent. I was very upset with the military promo, not that it was not great, but that you could ask ten people the same question and get 10 different answers. I almost lost a reservation& free dinning over it and when they told me there was nothing they could do to fix it, I sorta lost it. It all worked out in the end, but had I not written the letter, they would of never know how upset I was. I am all in. My letter will go out this weekend.

 

[ArielRae]

Please post the address you sent your letter to.

Im in John . It's sad that it's been 5 years since i been to Disney World. I need to come bacck to WDW someday when i settle in my Apartment and stop spending $$$ on stuff for it

 

[connie1042]

Here are the addresses. I also sent mine certified.

Robert Iger, CEO
The Walt Disney Company
500 south Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521

James Rasulo, Chairman
Walt Disney Parks & Resorts
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521

Meg Crofton, President
The Walt Disney World Resort
PO Box 10040
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

The funny thing is, I tracked these letters and the 2 that went to California were delivered in about a week. The one to Florida, never did get there according to the tracking system. When I got the phone call, they just said they were responding to some letters that I had written, so I really don't know which ones were handed off.

Letter writing campaign is a GREAT idea John! We need to get the word out and maybe put it somewhere on the main board with information if people are interested, that way the whole board would be able to participate.

Sending the letter certified is genius Connie, I can't imagine them having to sign for 100's of letters each day that would get their attention!
