We are also booked here but trying to decide for sure if we want to do it before final payment. Great thread. Trying to figure out if we can do the highlights in London in three days and then get down for the cruise.
I can't tell you why "people" say that, but I can tell you why I say it. I am intimately familiar with the Disney of years past, and I am well aware of the Disney of today. There are differences.
It was raining, so I thought it was rain related at first. They came in near the end, so it must have just been technical reasons. It is 3 weeks old...
I'll also put my money on less unfortunately. Rumor is this started as a great show and was (no surprise) cut way down, because they never learn their lesson.
That's the problem. They love their screens and glasses, so they think that is doing it with love. Sets, stories, and animatronics are old and what Walt would have done. They are more advanced.
This would be a dream come true, but they never seem willing to go back to anything old. Even in cases like this where it would be so much better and well received by everyone.
We also spend a lot of time in our cabin and on the balcony, so it is beneficial to us. The OP is going on her first cruise, and it is only a 4 night sailing. I cannot imagine much time at all will be spent in the room. I would save the money. Location shouldn't matter too much on that...
It's not that bad. Imagine if they took a building that was overbuilt to last 40 years ago and demolished it only to replace it with something similar yet not quite right. Now that would be a waste of money.
There was a time long ago when Epcot had a theme, and this would have fit right in. There was also a time long ago when Disney was an innovator, and this would have been amazing to see them do. Instead, we are going to get a show that had could have been great.
You had me worried for a second that you had been hacked. We know this isn't happening. Mickey and Minnie have new anniversary costumes that aren't free.
Is there anyone who truly thinks it belongs in Epcot? It certainly doesn't belong in the original idea of Epcot, and it doesn't even fit in the Epcot when they decided to do it. I suppose anything belongs in Epcot of today, though.
If we're being honest, it should have gone in Hollywood...
Dear sir, it is a very convenient way to strip another 35-50/person from the "guests." They used to create the problem and sell a solution. Selling the solution to a problem that doesn't exist is just evolution.
Us knowing this isn't important. Corporate needs to hear this and truly understand it. Bookings are not where they should be for Orlando, and they need to eventually admit it's their errors.
