    News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

    This is not your fault at all. The park ticketing and reservation system has been made to be overly complicated and nobody would have thought that they would suspend the sales of APs after only 2 months. On top of that you were told by employees of the company to wait on the upgrade because...

    News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

    The message is clear. They do not want me and my family to come to WDW when it is most convenient for us to go. They only want us at WDW when it is most convenient (profitable) for them. This is one of many reasons we no longer present them with the inconvenience. It’s a relationship that has...

    Food portion cuts to increase profits?

    Sounds like an awful scenario, but you can always just stop eating before reaching the point of having overly full stomach. With the prices they charge I would at least like to have the right to choose if I want to eat to the point of absolute misery. Edit: sorry for the triple post. I will...

    Food portion cuts to increase profits?

    Once paid $9 for an appetizer that unknowingly consisted of a single mushroom about 4 inches in width at the Mayan Grill in Coronado Springs back in 2009. I suppose the new portion will consists of a the typical size mushroom found on a pepperoni pizza.

    Food portion cuts to increase profits?

    The CFO using people’s waistlines as justification is one of the funniest things I ever heard. Are they going to stop selling churros and hot fudge sundays as well. So reassured by the WDCs sudden concern for my health. 😂😂😂

    News Disney plans to include a black Santa Claus at Walt Disney World this year as the company continues its diversity and inclusion program

    Yeah, the dialog has been reasonably civil and as I said I don’t think this is that big of an issue for most. Count me into the pleasantly surprised category.

    News Disney plans to include a black Santa Claus at Walt Disney World this year as the company continues its diversity and inclusion program

    Honestly, I have not seen too many in this thread really having an issue with this. The high volume in the thread would suggest it is a hot button issue. However, I think many of us clicked just to see if it would be divisive. Hence, the popcorn post at the very beginning of the thread. My...

    News Disney plans to include a black Santa Claus at Walt Disney World this year as the company continues its diversity and inclusion program

    This is the most likely route I would have taken and she would have accepted this as a reasonable answer. Santa is extra busy this year and needs a helper.

    News Disney plans to include a black Santa Claus at Walt Disney World this year as the company continues its diversity and inclusion program

    This is very true. I distinctly remember being a very young child in the 80s watching Sesame Street episode and the theme of the segment was that it does not matter if you are black or white and that someones skin color should not dictate how you treat them. I can remember thinking "of course...

    News Disney plans to include a black Santa Claus at Walt Disney World this year as the company continues its diversity and inclusion program

    My daughter is now 10, but when she was much younger she always thought that the real Santa was at Disney and we would see him annually. There would be some obvious discontinuity that I would have a hard time explaining to her if she were still younger and we were still visiting. I am not so...

    My experiment in human decency

    When our family had APs we always got our magnets stolen at some point while visiting the parks. The original white ones always went the quickest. Never understood it, but was never surprised by it either. We eventually started putting them on the fridge because we knew we would lose them at WDW...

    i am suppose to book my trip .... BUT I AM TOO MAD TO DO IT...

    From reading your post it sounds to me like the best choice is probably not to go. You have already set the expectation that you will not enjoy the trip because the value proposition is no longer in your favor. I didn't renew my annual pass after 17 years of being an AP holder because I realize...

    Disney alienates 90% of their guests......What is going on?

    That would indeed skew perception. LOL! Yeah I probably should have stayed out of it. The implication of the post was clear to me, but it does not mean that it is so clear to others. On top of that, I am not really familiar with the OPs history of throwing out numbers. I just found the post to...

    Disney alienates 90% of their guests......What is going on?

    If the title had read "Disney is likely alienating the majority of guest." would this have met your requirements and helped with your understanding? 90% may or may not be hyperbole, but I get the overall implication of the title and post.

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    This! The show in Splash Mountain is what makes it so special and different. It’s the creativity in the outdoor scenes, it’s the laughing place, it’s the grand celebration at the end. “It’s true, it’s actual, every thing is satisfactual.” Splash Mountain is a show that just happens to have a big...

    All the changes at WDW. What's the effect on you?

    The effect on me is that I am actively planning a Universal Studios vacation for the first time in 11 years.

    Was Happily Ever After to much for WDW?

    I remember when losing Lights of Winter at Epcot really bummed me out. Now I honestly can’t keep up with the losses and downgrades across the parks. It’s legitimately saddening.

    The Big Difference

    Also when you own physical, the content does not get edited which is starting to happen with more regularity on popular streaming services. Often scenes get deleted when deemed offensive or the music is changed due licensing issues. Streaming is very convenient, and I have become part of the...

    What's deflated your WDW enthusiasm the most: Pandemic or Genie+

    On that note I was a passholder for 17 years and chose not to renew because for me personally the overall cost exceeds the value of today’s product. That said, I was a little surprised to see a survey sent to me by Disney that revolved around why I choose not to renew and if I planned on ever...
