Stupid cutback hits home.

Thanks Matt, that was where I was going next. But, it started to be too much like work. It's what I take breaks from to post here. Loses its purpose when it's the same thing.

Point taken...glad I could be of service!

Only 2 princess came out on only 2 barges and they highlighted the 'wrong' princess during the music of the missing princess. And since it was 2 different princesses is can't be a matter of the barge dressing being damaged.

Interesting. Hopefully we can hear from others in the coming weeks to find out if this is permanent, like the CM on KS, or if there was some kind of problem with that particular showing. (Maybe Ariel ate some bad seafood?)

If it is by chance an "efficiency" move, I think we could agree its a pretty lame one...

I seem to recall that in each case, the missing princess was on the boat later.
Maybe the princess didn't make the transfer to MGM in time?

I have it on good (and reliable) authority that the barge issue was specific to that recent performance of Fantasmic - they have definitely not removed the third barge from the show.

Thanks for the Economics 101. But that is not what Disney is built on.

Walt was the dreamer

Roy was the practical one

Walt pushed and dreamed. Roy played the role of restraining the vision to make sure the company stayed afloat. Right now we don't have a dreamer in charge. If any activity (x, y, z, or whatever) is profitable or is (to use a military term) a force multiplier to make OTHER things profitable they should be doing them. If Disney looses the "Magic" they loose everything, because they are no longer special.

When you return from your next trip to Disney World, don't forget to send them a "thank you" card for instituting yet another cut that the "customers" wanted....

There is hope - maybe they will close H&V and bring back Cafeteria of the Stars which was one of the best values on Disney property.

Perhaps the attendance is down at H&V because of all of the characters out and about.

How about this thought, look for ways to MAKE money. Not JUST CUT COST.

Getting a headache reading all that profit / loss explanations.

I'm confused - Is H&V closed altogether or did they just do away with the character meals?

I have a PS there next week with the fantasmic package. Will they be open?
