I love this logic. So by your reasoning if you have a sick child or some other personal emergency it is perfectly ok with you that Disney makes $50-$70 off your misfortune? Talk about bass-ackwards customer service. The customers are there to feed the company not the company there to service...

Awe, I hate to see the end of Christmas. My tree stays up until February (it's artificial) and my train garden will be on display until March. Nothing brightens a dreary bitter winter better than some lights and decoration. Now if Disney had some sense they'd start a Mardi Gras celebration and...

That falls in line with what the GR CM told me New Year's. The plan was to retool them with LEDs ala Osborne. Supposedly they "heard" all the complaints and are acting on them for next year.

From what the fella working EPCOT Guest relations told me, that would be yes. In a reinvented LED way. In fact, he said the rumor (I don't take anything from a less than management CM to be more than "rumor") was that they would "dance" ala Osborne style. What I'm expecting to see is a new...

According to my cousin (the electrician and remodeler) they were sign bulbs. A tech around 30 years old. The CM knew them as "square bulbs" that aren't made anymore. The framework itself was designed a decade or so ago but they didn't use current tech for the lighting. The flicker bulbs Disney...

I just returned from my NYE trip to Disney. Boycotted EPCOT for NYE this year (saw it in early Dec) but did visit NY Day. It's very barren and sad, especially at night. The singers' stage was broken down as well so all left for decorations was the tree, a bit of the NYE band lighting and the...

Yup, I thought my dad would hate it. I don't think I'll even bother going into FutureWorld this weekend. Countries by way of International Gateway is enough. So what happens when it rains like it's supposed to Friday & Saturday? FutureWorld becomes an even deader dead zone. I hope the folks...

That's the kind of response I'm guessing people will give. Now, the next step is to go up to those folks and let them know exactly what is missing and/or why. Then encourage them to let Disney know they aren't happy about it. What we need is an organized boycott of EPCOT. Make the place a...

In that case I go back to my statement that the whole plaza will look very dark and dreary this year. Especially compared to what MK and DHS are doing. Guests are bound to notice and comment. One thing we return visitors can do is make sure as many of the first timers realize what is missing...

Nice. When are they finished refurbing all the rooms? Are the preferred, pool/garden view rooms finished? I'm staying in a studio in two weekends. Hope we get the updated rooms.

I take it you have never studied the concept of viral marketing? It's this thing where one person educates another and so on until a large enough population acts on that knowledge that just their simple action speaks louder than words. I know because of my learning about LoW cancellation...

Now that's an idea. I've incorporated he monorail in my train garden for the last 2 years. You give me an idea for an addition this year. I've also picked up several mini-light sets for train gardens and one of those music&lights adapters. All I need is some trellis archways. Truthfully I...

Problem is FutureWorld just isn't very futuristic looking. Not by today's standards. It comes across as dated 80's like the Poly is a dated 70's. There are things that the park does right. I adore the sparkling lights in the pavement, the kerosene torches around Nations, the varied decor of...

Could be. I first saw EPCOT in '98. I had been doing one week commando trips from '01-'04. I didn't consider myself any sort of a regular then, just someone who knew how to read a map and look online for a schedule. It wasn't until '05 that I started coming for longer periods and different times...

The point is EPCOT doesn't even have lighted street lamps this year. They didn't even bother putting up the dove of peace garden, for crying out loud! I honestly don't know how I'm gonna stomach being in that park after dark. I had just extended my December weekend with a night at the oardwalk...

I responded with: Your comment is awaiting moderation. Wow, that’s an outrageous cost for something not that valuable. The seating area used for these parties is under cover blocking most of the high fireworks. I’ve watched from there before the area was repurposed for dessert parties. I...

The trouble is EPCOT does not have much in the way of decor to celebrate the holidays this year. Sure those lights only covered a small part of the park but it was the only set of lights you got in that park!!! Decorations have been fairly sparse at EPCOT for a while now. When I went this past...

You'd be surprised what people get upset over. Remember the birthday cake castle? I do think with the growth in DVC membership (and upper management's committment to "only" build DVCs vs. hotels from now on), WDW is seeing much more repeat visitors. The first 2 weeks of December are jammed...

Here's a direct link to that petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/SAVELIGHTSOFWINTER/index.html For my part, I've e-mailed, twittered, written, blogged and am preparing fr a prsonal onslaught next month during my erly Deceber trip (planned 11 months ago). I just ordered a bunch...

What distresses me most is that it doesn't seem like EPCOT is getting much of any holiday treatment. Pictures taken in the last few days show very little on the decor. As for this letter response... Knowing how much they charge for this CP package, I'd cancel my reservation on the spot with...
