To add to that, by the time the excrement starts to hit the fan, those "leaders" are already out the door wreaking havoc on another organization that offered them more money. Yeah, I think we have all definitely seen this type of "leadership" in action before.

They do what everyone else in the world has to do...look for another job. I also agree that that they need to start looking today and not wait until their benefits run out. It sucks, but you do what you gotta do until you find a job. It's also worse for them because their local market is now...

I think we are in complete agreement. I was just pointing out that those 28,000 were likely going to be cut at some point anyway, but the pandemic allows it to happen in one fell swoop. Disney isn't a charity and paying unneeded employees isn't going to fly with shareholders. That being said...

Disney has been this way for years which is why we haven't visited in a while. I still have a soft spot for Disney (thus posting on this thread), but I can't in good conscience support them financially. I feel really bad for the laid off employees, but this was an inevitable end. The pandemic...

I have said the exact same thing. I love surveys so I take every one that is sent to me, and I have noticed the answers on Disney surveys tend to not allow feedback. There have been times when I had a good experience overall but wanted to offer a suggestion or point out and an area that could...

How many total employees is that? My search showed 223,000 total employees in 2019, but I am not sure how accurate that is for 2020.

I think there are many reasons why people aren't going to WDW right now including fear of catching the virus, inability to travel including travel bans, not wanting to wear a mask (especially in the Florida heat), not seeing the value in it for what you will pay, dealing with job loss, etc. One...

Dolly ain't nobody's fool! Dollywood does require masks. We live in TN and are season passholders. We were there a few weeks ago, and everyone was wearing mask without issue. The parks were not filled like they normally would be in the summer, but there was still a decent crowd. We just...

A year ago, I would have been sad about this.

Dollywood is great! We live in the Nashville area and usually buy a season pass every other year for around $600 total for our family of four (we add the gold pass for one family member to get free parking and better discounts on food and merchandise). The best part is seeing and meeting...

Went to family Space Camp this summer in Huntsville. We spent around $1400 for our family of four for 3 days/2 nights. Got to go on missions, make rockets, meet real astronauts, and sleep in a "space pod." A fun way to immerse the family in space and science without a $7000 price tag.

We have seriously curtailed our trips to WDW. We went at least once a year, every year for 15 years, but since 2015, we have only done one full trip to Disney. This year, we went to Universal for a week and will take a non-Disney cruise out of Port Canaveral in October, and we won't step foot...

So a person who has had multiple bad experiences with the same food item should continue to order it to get a better sample size? That is the very definition of crazy.

I enjoy the Disney Food Blog, but it is not an unbiased source and rarely has anything negative to say about Disney. I woke up to that fact when they posted a rave reviews years ago about a bag of nachos and a cup of processed cheese that you can buy in the grocery store.

I won't get into the IP vs. non-IP because I see value in both. We finally made it to Universal after booking and canceling a few times over the years. I just had a hard time with the idea of being in Orlando and skipping Disney World. But I have two girls who are Harry Potter fans so we...

We go fairly often and hotels are usually pretty cheap unless it is peak season but the cheapest stay in that area is a cabin rental. We went for Fall Break this year and rented a 2 bed, 2 bath cabin with Jacuzzi and a game room for around $120 a night total including a pet fee.

Are we priced out financially? No. Do we feel the cost justifies the experience? No to that, too. We used to visit at least once a year for 6-8 days, and we have cut that back dramatically in the last 5 years. Instead of complaining, I have tried to vote with my wallet. This year we visited...

Just finished our first trip (a week before Hagrid's opened) and Escape from Gringott's was everyone's favorite ride - no contest. E.T. was actually the second favorite ride for me and my husband - children of the 80s unite! My youngest's 2nd favorite was the the Simpson's ride and my oldest's...

I have emailed TPTB in the past and have received canned responses. I would like to believe it would make a difference, but if the past is any indication, it just won't matter. Is there any indication that people will actually listen this time?

Well, Disney price increases end up saving me money because I have started spending my vacation dollars elsewhere. We went to South Dakota last summer and to SeaWorld last fall. We did end up doing MNSSHP one night which was just about right. We didn't see the need to visit Epcot, AK, or DHS...
