Great points below and hopefully brings people back to earth. And it might sound harsh but people have to be responsible for the position they put themself in, if someone's main skill is playing bagpipes or general entertainer they can't expect that a great paying job will just be waiting for...

Be careful with math that some are throwing out there. There are Alot of assumptions. While I don't doubt that those who bought early do well, current prices seem marginable at best. The biggest assumption in the math is that you will use it for many years to come. How do you really know what...

Good riddance to the makeover at PI ... the concept just didnt work for most people - The whole bar/club roudy late-teen/20-something atmosphere just didnt blend in, and Disney finally realized that. Of course there are going to be people that will complain and will miss it, but they are...

Thank god ... maybe its permanently broken and will require a complete redo of the 2nd half of the attraction. :ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

You are right on the mark .. Epcot has lost its inspiration for cheaper brand of fun. There is really little left relating to inspiration other than Living with the Land and I believe its only a matter of time before we see Mickey or Stitch in there. Its really a shame.

Bottom Line The bottom line is easy to understand: "Club" crowds and family crowds simply dont mix. Its like oil and water - its universal no matter where in the country you are. Why not just build a new club district .. away from the family crowds .. away from the resorts, parks, and...

Uh ... YES this piece of real estate is valuable you dope! How many areas can you guarantee a flow of people walking by your business with their wallets out ready to spend their vacation dollars? Also .. much of the remaining Disney land is either un-developable because of land-iuse...

Another vote for dumping the whole "club" thing. No one goes to Disney to go clubbing .... except for maybe some teenage locals which I doubt really has any impact on the big picture .. if they want to go to Disney parks they will go regardless if clubs are there or not. Real Estate at...

Steve .. do you have the Email address for WDW guest relations? I am itching to tell them what I think of the recent changes ... so very disappointing. Thanks

No serious complaints about the way up .. but moving from the present to the future can be described one way - CHEAP. Where are the show scenes .. where is the drama? I have no problem with the narration changes .. but the music? What the heck happened? The vision of the future is a...

I couldnt agree more with the OP ... the WORST part is 2 years ago they were still playing XMas music in Epcot on Jan 20th .. whats up with that?

Do you agree or not: ... with my assumption of the following: If Universal Studios (with IOA) disappeared tommorow, Disney attendance would probably stay flat or slightly decline. If Disney Orlando were to disappear tommorow, Universal attendance would probably be slashed in half or...

For the record Amusement Business has estimated the 2002 attendance for amusement parks across the globe. The final report does not get released until Monday, but here is the top 10 attended parks for North America: 1. Magic Kingdom; 14 million, down 5% 2. Disneyland; 12.7 million, UP 3%...

And while youre at it Please post the park attendance numbers for USF and IOA ... very interested to see.

What are your sources? Pheneix, what exactly ARE your sources? Secondly, why dont you share some "hard" numbers with the forum? Not around 4000 here and 12000 there, just take your numbers for theme park attendance, copy and paste my friend, it will make your arguments credible.
