Touché.

Anyone got little MK tidbits not worth a separate thread?

I'm visiting in November. How's that for a tidbit?

Magic Kingdom Ferryboat Service Resumes Following Reported Impact Incident

Walt Disney World ferryboat service to Magic Kingdom has resumed this morning following a reported impact incident

This was from 5 days ago and seems to have had very little impact on ops if the boat was only down for a very short time. Probably only long enough to inspect the boat and dock for any damage.

What?! I have been complaining about this for years!! I know it sounds crazy, but I see this as really great news.

The whole system is working! Of course 95% of guests walk right by this one. "Where'z my ScReEenZ?"

Great video in that link, too. Now the treehouse finally can resume its position among the top five attractions in MK.

Just imagine. What if all the money being put into crap new rides was put into perfecting what they already have? Water features, murals, animatronics, paint jobs, etc.

Yeah, yeah, they're doing it here and there, but what if every attraction, every store, every sidewalk got the treatment?

Sadly, it probably wouldn't move the needle on attendance.

That should be happening as a matter of fact, not a special press release...lol And do they need to move the needle on attendance? The park seems overstressed and overrun with guests all year long...so much that they had to create an extremely expensive fast pass reservations and parks reservation for guests to actually get on the top tier attractions....
Attracting MORE people to crowd out the restaurants and attractions will not make it a better experience..... But actually restoring the park, keeping it pristine and beautiful, Reopening shuttered attractions and restaurants... those things would certainly make it a better experience for the guests...
