Not necessarily. If you get the no annual fee card, you still get 10% off at many dining locations.

Okay, sounds like we're on the same page. Also, I think your definition of abandoned property only refers to tangible personal property, not land. It's very difficult to find land that doesn't have an owner. You're right though, theft is theft, and entering property with intent to commit a crime...

I'm confused by your reference to those two areas then. It sounded like you were saying they're abandoned and fair game for people to explore without permission.

It's like you're trying to help my case. Entering property which has no owner can't logically be considered trespassing. Apparently we agree there. If you pull the plat for River Country and Discovery Island, I think you'll find that the owner is one "Walt Disney Company" or some shell company...

Bingo, you're finally getting it! That's exactly correct. This part though, not so much: Did you not read the legal definition? It's pretty clear.

Nope. Whether you use the legal definition: or the colloquial definition: entering someone's property without permission, regardless of whether it's "abandoned" (however that's defined), is still trespassing, which is a crime. I think people mistook my previous distinction between burglary...

Burglary.

So do something about it instead of complaining on a message board.

This makes no sense. A standard view is a lower price, but the only option you have is to pay more money to downgrade? It sounds like you can move to a standard view room and pay less money, which is what you claim you want to do. Why can't you?

You're literally getting what you paid for though. You paid for a pool view room and when you look out the window or step out onto your balcony, the view you'll have will be of the pool. It's pretty straight-forward as far as I'm concerned. You didn't pay for a pool-use room or a...

I don't think it's a UK thing, I think it's a "I just want to complain and have people tell me I'm in the right, but I never actually asked Disney to switch my room" thing.

Lol. Then I'd recommend you take them to court. Good luck with it.

Stop saying this. If they truly were breaking the contract or doing something illegal, why are you only complaining about it on a message board? Hire a lawyer. The fact is, they aren't breaking your contract. The pool is still there and will still be visible from your room. Just because...

That's not accurate. I stayed at POR in March and we charged our breakfast to our MBs on the morning we left.

In FY2017, Disney paid (or accrued for based on probable estimates) $177 million in litigation settlements. Granted, this was the entire Disney company and not just Parks, and it isn't only personal injury settlements (could be contract disputes, sexual harassment settlements, etc.) but it...
