Okay so I was on a phone call with an executive at Disney and I aired my grievances about the constant increase of cost with the downsizing of benefits/experience.

She told me that she appreciated my comments, but they've also heard from a lot of guests who appreciate the changes. So I'm asking, do YOU? Please post your thoughts below as well.

And I'll add, the lady I spoke with was, of course, absolutely lovely and friendly. She told me that she was forwarding my comments to those who needed to see them and said they need feedback like this because they don't want their guests to be unhappy or to lose loyal/passionate supporters. So I would encourage you, if you are unhappy with any of the changes, write in and let them know what and why.

WAIT - IT MIGHT NOT BE CLEAR. WHAT I'M ASKING IS:

WHICH OF THESE CHANGES ARE YOU HAPPY WITH?

Sorry, it is not clear to me what "Do You" means or what these questions mean in the poll.

Things I am unhappy with?
 

Since I you are asking what we are unhappy with I have to say you left out what I hate the most. I can live with most of the rest, even if I don't love it.
But I hate with a white hot passion like nothing else, park reservation system. So I clicked other.
I KNEW there was something big I was missing. I'll add it!
 
Geez louise thank you.

I had edited my post and apparently accidentally cut that part out :faint:
On both my phone and my desktop computer, I can't read the line at the top that asks the question. Seems to be white text on a white background. So, does it ask what I'm happy with or what I'm UNhappy with?

I will definitely see if I can change that.

It's asking which of the changes you are happy with.
 
Loss of Tables in Wonderland is the only other thing I really have a care about. I do miss that a lot so I added that vote
Genie it turned out didn't impact us so much. We rarely used FP. We've reach a point where we ride if we can, don't if we can't and don't care which way it goes.
Dining plans are a huge waste of money (and a huge maker of money for Disney)
AP we have so lack of sales is no loss for us
We didn't use ME anyway, we used Uber. ME took too long and left too early
We don't rise early, we sleep in on vacation so early entry is a non-factor
Guess those are just some of the reasons why the Execs aren't hearing a lot of complaints from the masses for some of those items
 
I absolutely love the change to Early Entry over Extra Magic Hours. Every park for 30 minutes every day is much more valuable to my family than one park for one hour each day.

I like the elimination of the Dining Plan.

I am neutral on Genie+, TiW, and Annual Passes.

I dislike Park Pass, but I don't feel strongly about it. FP+ already meant that you were pre-selecting which parks you would visit which days.

I hate ILL and the elimination of Magical Express.
 
Might I suggest you add the 2:00pm requirement for park hopping? That's a new thing I hate. Example...We were at DHS the other day and it was a mob scene. I thought, "Let's just go to Epcot." Oh wait! We can't "just go to Epcot." We have to wait until 2:00pm. It stinks.

We did the same thing last week, left HS, thinking we'll take the boat to Epcot and eat before going to MK for the evening. Then we realized it was only 1:00. It's definitely near the top of the list for changes I'm unhappy with.
 
My answers are for Disneyland based on my end of January trip

I love Genie+
I love the park reservation system
I love having photopass included with Genie+
I love mobile ordering
I love Web Slingers , Rise of Resistance and other rides which use new technology

I am booked on a DCL European cruise for September, I am so excited about using the DCL App
 
I think people misunderstood your poll, unless there really are 2 people that are happy that Magic Express is gone.
Eh, I'm not sure I can say I'm happy it's gone but really don't care it's gone. It's meaningless to me
