Details matter to frequent theme-park visitors

"everything Disney does is going to be compared to Harry Potter. And, unfortunately, what Disney is rolling out at a cost of billions of dollars — a tremendous amount of money, you could open a theme park for the amount of money Disney has spent — they're expanding FastPass and putting wristbands on you so that you can pay quicker and get into your room and schedule meals. What Disney has done is spend money to make you spend more money. And what Universal is doing is spending money to try and get you to visit."

I believe that's what the kids call a "burn." That little bit of analysis can't be sitting well in Mouseville today.

The Orlando Sentinel loves to bash Disney so it's no surprise they would run this. Miceage in my opinion is a Disney World bash site with nothing good to say unless it's about Disneyland Resort.
Man, you must be a fanboi extraordinaire. The Sentinel and Jason Garcia have been roundly criticized for turning a blind eye to Disney's foibles and acting as Disney's PR machine. Thank goodness they are now doing some real journalism.

Please back up this up with some quotes from MiceAge. If it were a "Disney World bash site", why would they post articles solely dedicated to WDW?

I wouldn't say that it's a "bash site", but Al Lutz is clearly pro-Disneyland and not-pro-WDW. (I wouldn't go so far as to say he's anti-WDW) It comes through in the wording he chooses for his articles. When WDW does something good (the original refurb of Mansion, for instance) he was very "meh" and dismissive about it when everyone else roundly praised it.

Yes, Lutz loves Disneyland and doesn't love WDW, but, like you said, he doesn't flat out hate WDW. Speaking of that, he hasn't written an article in months.

You're either joking or you never read the Sentinel. Here's their Disney coverage page:

If Disney PR was running a Web site, it would look almost exactly like this. Maybe a little more sparkly.
