And if one set of docks is being refurbed, then they can only run one line. That is not a budget cut because they physically can't run the second line because of the refurb.
In fact, a refurb shows they're spending money to fix things up. It's the opposite of a budge cut.[/QUOTE]
Hasn't it been confirmed that 1 boat is typical now even without dock refurbishment?

That has not been sufficiently confirmed.
Well... Do you think its not true? I'm not here to argue with anyone.... Nor am I doom and gloom.. I had a great time at Disney for a few days.
I noticed two things that would appear to me to be budget cuts. No one has been able to prove that's not the case... But I'm not here to prove or not to prove.... Im here to discuss!

You've received some fairly reasonable and thorough explanations as to why neither of these things are budget cuts.
The burden of proof is not on others to disprove your purely speculative claim.
Im not asking anyone to prove anything. I still believe those 2 things are the results of budget cuts. I'm not sure what thorough explanation I've gotten beyond the docks being worked on.... That only explains why those 2 docks were closed, not why there is only 1 boat running on a regular basis now, as others have said is the standard.
I'm totally willing to say the boat thing may be old news and I just noticed it with the larger crowds. But it's still a cut if 1 boat is standard...
As to Mickey WDW magic seemed to confirm that the meet and greet is running at 1/2 capacity these days... Which seems about right, if yesterday the wait had been 60 minutes that would seem about right for the crowds.

Maybe I’ll head over with a notepad this weekend to report back on things that appear to be cuts. Should be fun. Who needs attractions?
And yet, that's all you've pretty much done.
The standard practice for the Mickey M&G is 4 total rooms with 2 operating. The schedules are made 4-6 weeks in advance for projected crowds.
As for the friendship boats, there will be 2 boats operating once the refurb is completed. There has not been a reduction to a single boat at any time when not in refurb.
Also, I don't mean to be antagonistic, but it would seem odd that a CM 'onstage' would openly admit to you that budget cuts were the reason for a long wait time.

Agreed. That cast member could get in serious trouble for that. Especially since it implies that there is more than one room with Mickey.

For someone not looking for an argument you are pretty hardheaded about believing these are examples of budget cuts.

And you shouldn't be asking anyone to prove your claims. That falls to you since you are the one who made them. Your unwillingness to do so thus far indicates you value your own subjective, unsubstantiated stance over any logical, reasoned alternative. Double-down all you like, cry wolf all you want to, it's not going to make you right. Only facts (which opinions are not) will do that.
so its standard practice to only use two of the 4 rooms at town square?
Not an argument... Just continueing the discussion

And you know these results are due to budget cuts how? That's like saying my commute took longer than usual because of aliens.

Budget cuts isn't the same thing as budget shifting @Disney-Trains . Maybe they add entertainment at Germany or something, and get rid of a friendship boat, which both happen to cost the same amount. Is that a budget cut? No. But let's say it is... does that one small cut nearly outweigh the big increases that additions bring?
I see you've accomplished your longtime goal of finding one though, so I won't further ruin the moment.

well that would still be a cost cut to attractions but sure if you want to spin it that way.
