I can't be the only one irrationally (given it's irrational, I guess I could be the only one) triggered by the amount of "Genie+ sold out today!" news articles on wdwmagic's front page. When does it stop being news that Genie+ is selling out? I'll see myself out.

... She was standing behind the register to checkout peoples items? She ultimately hung up the phone and started checking peoples items out. She likely did have a tag on, but it was probably hidden behind her coat. Either way, it was out of view.

I never said a CM was yawning. That was someone else. Yawning is normal and usually uncontrollable. Yes they can be stifled, but I have no problem with a CM yawning. Here's the thing - you're wrong. You can't guarantee anything. I've seen CMs excessively using phones not in cases while on...

Yep, I've done DLP twice - wouldn't visit there again either, service was truly horrific. Near the Pirate of the Caribbean ride, there's a bunch of caves you can walk through - in one of the corners just outside, there's 20-30 cigarette butts, I let a CM know for 3 consecutive days, on my fourth...

Obviously not. The problem is these issues are now prolific. We've all had the odd complaint about a CM who wasn't magical for whatever reason. I've often heard people joke that those who work in Universal Parks just didn't make the cut for Disney -- now they just appear to be on par with each...

I don't disagree with any of your post (only quoted a little to keep it brief), if I worked at Disney on minimum wage, I think I'd feel much the same way. However, this doesn't detract from the expectations that Disney has given us, and as consumers paying a lot of money, we expect their cast...

That has been my experience this trip. Granted, I've spent more time at Disney parks than Universal parks, so I've had more opportunity to see things go wrong at Disney -- but I've seen things go wrong there that I've never seen in previous trips, that's why the shock factor, for me at least. I...

I'm still here and have raised the concerns w/ guest relations at their respective parks. Immediately following EF, I visited guest relations looking for access to the same spot to view the show the following night (was not interested in attending the dessert party again). I was told they can't...

A chocolate bar for an American friend I was with; and to marvel at the price of a Bounty.

Maybe, but does it matter? She was on stage and meant to be providing service to guests. If she had to make a personal call - there's better places to do that.

Normally I wouldn't feed trolls, but I'm in the mood with some extra bacon so I'll toss a few pieces your way. I was standing directly infront of the CM in question looking at chocolate bars next to the register, I couldn't read the name tag - because she wasn't wearing one (but was in...

Currently at WDW for 19 days for my annual trip. It's expensive getting over here from the UK, so I tend to do it once and do it big. I usually write off the threads that talk about declining service and getting less for more - but I'm coming to agree more and more. Now I'm experiencing a...

I never said it didn't make sense, I asked why it was relevant. People of all nationalities can be slobs and rude, or worse. You (as in the person making the judgement) would have to be pretty short sighted and/or uncultured to think it applies to an entire nation. ETA: Would you be less...

As a Brit myself, not sure why the nationality is remotely relevant to your story.

Didn't read all of the replies - but does this also the fix the loophole a lot of British visitors abuse ... booking one night at the campsites - but never actually check-in (they don't cancel either), and get the ability to book rolling 60 day FastPasses for their entire 14-21 day vacation? As...

Psychology. This is why advertisers try attach big name actors to sell a product during commercials. Or borrow a character from a franchise to promote some new candy coming to market. It's familiar. Ref: http://www.attractionsmanagement.com/index.cfm?pagetype=features&codeID=29721 It's also...

The same argument can be made for a non-IP land. The difference is perhaps there is less of an expectation with a non-IP land.

Not at all. Two different statements. "If I'm already there - I know I/most people will enjoy a Generic Land." and "A land based on an existing IP (i.e. a box office hit movie series) is more likely to bring in first time visitors and cause occasional visitors to return" The point was that IP...

Star Wars Land, Toy Story Land, Pandora. If people identify with it, it will have more of an impact than a Generic Land. Possibly. This wasn't the point I was trying to make though.

Completely agree. No doubt in my mind that I (or anyone else) needs to be familiar with an IP to truly enjoy and love a physical land Disney creates. For example, I've never seen Avatar - but I love the land and it's truly breath taking when you first see it all lit up. However, my argument was...
