What am I missing here? Loosing their minds over what? Did you mean losing (not a good thing), or loosening (usually a good thing).

Why? It's heavily dependant on outmoded animatronics (expensive to maintain and update) and cringe worthy screens. Not unlike Spaceship Earth, only transportation themed. How many people today would stand for the "Indian attack" scene or the railroad robbery as appropriate for family viewing...

We went. We saw. We laughed. And thanked heaven that it was temporary. Yes, we already knew about the birthday cake castle. But photos just didn't prepare you for the magnitude of the tackiness when seeing it in person.

I wrote this just a month ago. But the Genie broke the camel's back for us. We're done. And strangely, I don't feel sad. Just mad.

No. Absolutely not. I'm done with all of the price increases, reduced services, added fees for things that used to be included. Sorry (not sorry) Disney, but you aren't that special any more. We can enjoy fabulous vacations in wonderful places for less than what you want to gouge us for now...

I'm not sure how much has changed in the last few years, but back at the time of the OPs writing, she would have been able to add her DHs name to the reservation at any time, just by going to the front desk, since it was a RO reservation. No sneaking required. That would have allowed him the...

Haven't been inside a movie theater in a year and a half. But we will go to see this one. And no, it didn't remind me of African Queen.

I do not think that means what you think it means.

Ive been visiting WDW every year or 2 since 1975. It's not going to take much more for us. Our on site stays stopped when they instituted resort parking fees. The termination of Magic Express just reinforced that decision. With the changes in the parks in the past couple of years, our desire...

Indeed. When we lived in Alabama we had to check not only the pool, but the skimmer every time. I don't know how many times DH had to scoop out a snake - sometimes water mocassins- before getting in. And I clearly remember watching CMs standing guard while waiting for the wildlife guys to...

Might as well remove the descriptors. People who behave like ladies and gentlemen seem to be on the endangered list anyway.

My thoughts exactly. While I love AK, and rank it #1 at WDW, it really can't match TDS

Oh you've made your position clear. Multiple times. However, I would remind you of the quote by a very wise person that "You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.” No one is arguing that profanity is a good thing, but it is a fact of life that...

Oh please. :cautious: Context matters. Different situations call for a modicum of common sense and perspective. The (fictional) situation described by the OP is a far cry from someone verbally abusing a CM or letting loose a loud string of profanities in a queue. If you actually think that...

John Spartan you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality code!

Oh you poor, poor delicate flower. Hearing a single mild expletive uttered by someone passing by, and in a low enough voice that your children didn't hear it, was sufficient to give you a case of the vapours so severe that you had to find a place to rest? And inflamed your sense of...

Prior to my surgery, we visited the parks several times when I needed to use a wheelchair. DH pushed me, and insisted that it wasn't a big deal. There were times when we would park it (in one of the stroller/ecv parking areas) and I would walk for a while to stretch my muscles. But it was...

I didn't think EE was too intense (and I have a fear of heights). But the backwards part, with its tight turns, really tumbled my gyros. I had vertigo for a while afterwards.

A suggestion I've seen frequently on another forum for those with disabilities is to get familiar with the ecv before you leave home. Many big stores like Walmart or Home Depot have ecvs for the use of their customers. You can tootle around the store on one of these to get the hang of throttle...

Mobility devices come in all shapes and sizes; from canes and walkers/rollators, to wheelchairs and ECVs. The first 3 can be easily and cheaply purchased from multiple places nearby. Disney rents the latter 2 near the entrances to each of the parks; for use only within that park. These are...
