Very sad...but very well said. Burbank is NOT a care-taker for Walt Disney and this company's legacy. I really wish it was but all it cares about is what the company's popular can do for "them" today. The people in Hollywood and Burbank that run this company are not at all the FANS that we are.

Y'know,...it's not even the cost or the price hikes. Burbank Executives have swerved this company SO FAR off-brand in the past few years. Everything that you have always expected "Disney" to be has been side tracked or subverted. It just feels like Burbank doesn't even understand or respect the...

For me?...It's not even about the price hikes. I'll pay a TON of money for almost anything...."IF"...I feel that it's worth it. For me?...Disney has lost sooooo much of what I loved about it my entire life. It's fallen so far that I just don't feel it's worth it any longer. Epcot was my home...

No,..but can be "cult-like" ;-) We are all fans of Disney....right? The word "fan" comes from "fanatic": fa·nat·ic /fəˈnadik/ noun A person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme religious or political cause. "religious fanatics"

Disney's corporate culture strongly,...very, VERY STYRONGLY encourages "positive" thinking. The last think anybody want's to do is go into a serious meeting and stand up to tell everybody there: "Folks...sorry, I mean,..."friends"...we have a serious problem on our hands....." You do that and...

I 100% agree with you. It's almost as though they don't want to find out what you "really" think? They would rather look away put their fingers in their ears and pretend you were super-duper happy?

What Disney is saying about it slowing down is that it's a "bulk-average" decline in attendance and revenue. Yes, there are busy days and slow days but when aggregated "together" over 1 month, 6 months or a year? The numbers falling. This is not just us on forums that say that. Disney has warned...

Let's all try a social media experiment. Let's ALL "not" go to WDW for 6 months and let's see how HIGH we can get ticket and retail to prices go. Let's embargo Disney for another 6 months then 12 then 24 months months and see how much more they raise prices. If we stopped going for maybe 2...

I hope Disney is surveying the HECK out of everybody that goes home. "If" people respond in high numbers that it was all way too expensive or way too much hassle with all the App reservations and up charges? "If" people say the REGRET their trip after they get home? (yes,..big "if") "If" high...

This is actually an amazing psychological experiment. It's a business game of "chicken". Crowds are declining, forcing average revenue per user (ARPU) prices to rise....witch, in turn, drives attendance down even lower, causing a classic "vicious circle". The two opposing business/market...

Yes,...Disney has always been raising it's prices to stay in line with their general product demand. However, it's being said that Disney has now gotten "in front" of that demand and is now suppressing that demand. When people love a brand, they WILL often pay more for it...just out of sheer...

Here is Disney's financial strategy for the parks: Raise ARPU (average rate per user) Here is how it goes. 1.) Average parks attendance is in decline. (This is a fact, not a rumor. Disney themselves tell investors this) 2.) Raise ARPU by raising tickets, hotels and retail prices to RECOVER...

Uggg....if canceling the "old-American history" theme can satisfy Burbank execs?...yeah, I guess I can be happy with Mater's Island Mudd Puddle re-theme. At least we vould keep this big water feature. Now,...for Liberty Square? How will Burbank try to cancel or re-theme that part? Uggg....I...

Would it be possible to save the river, island and boat by canceling the names "Tom Sawyer", "America" and "Liberty Belle"? In other words: The Rivers of "something else" "Somebody else's" Island "Something else" Riverboat. I feel like this "re-theme" would be a compromise that would allow...

I hope that the "powers that be" will require a comprehensive and FULLY extensive environmental impact study on this project "before" any destruction is done to the "The Rivers of America". I'm also expecting a complete flood mitigation and water management study and survey be completed and...

Disney will have "active development" budgets to pay for office labor cost to make paintings and 3D printed models and hours and hours of endless project meetings. That stuff is small potatoes and all of that is what Josh calls "active development"...honestly the term is not that impressive at...

Disney has lost the ability to plan and estimate it's construction and projects costs. Everything they do now goes WAY,...WAY..over budget before it gets slashed HARD before they finally finish. I don't know how much the budget was for the new Epcot park bench, LED light, planter, stage area...

I have loved this company since I was 10 years old have have been a radicle super warrior for it my whole life. (I'm 55) But I also try to be "realistic" as best I can. No,..I'm not a "Pixie Duster". I'm Just a realistic fan that is not happy with what Burbank has done the company I have always...

Tron and Epcot city park & cafeteria? The speed that they build is based on they financial books they are dealing with at that time. Disney dumped 17+ billion on Disney+, linear TV is suffering, Pixar, Lucasfilm and Marvel are all suffering badly. Disney still needs to blow another 6-15...
