This one upsets me the most, as it was always a pleasure to be greeted by these gentlemen, especially the gentleman at the Grand Floridian who seemed to have been there since it opened (I don't know if true or not, but my memory doesn't recall anyone else doing it, and does remember someone...

Are there any other characters getting the ax? How about the streetsmosphere entertainers at Studios?

Shouldn't be a surprise - Disneyland has not removed their benches, and there are a ton of them. It is only WDW that wants people up and moving all the time.

Uni just increased their prices, so expect something real soon.

I note that the countries you listed are all fairly well developed. Try eating in some out-of-the-way countries if you really wish to taste exotic foods - like Viet Nam, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Bhutan, or even mainland China. That seems to be more appropriate as the basis for comparison...

How can it be anything else?

I thought the purpose of using "median" was to minimize the effect of the "few" outliers, as contrasted to "average"?

Well, WDC could forgo doing stock buybacks for just one year - that would take care of all of these problems.

Use the Landry's card, and you get a credit of $25 for each $250 you spend and apply to the card. I believe this is a credit that is taken off the bill, but it's been so long since we got one, I forget. But the birthday $25 is a nice benefit, and that comes right off of your bill - we used it...

Last year, the cab from John Wayne airport to Disneyland was charged by the driver placing our raised-number credit card in the middle of a charge form, and he rubbed the top copy with a pencil so that the bottom two copies recorded the information in carbon format. Didn't need a machine, just...

No offense, but I couldn't care less about what property may or may not revert to Disney in 50 years.

Keep in mind that they are increasing the tolls at the plaza three miles down the road by (surprise, surprise) the exact amount that the to-be-removed plaza charged. At least according to the OS.

Shortest time we've ever spent going through security was at the airport in Tel Aviv - guess we met the profile for being non-dangerous. We barely slowed down our walking while going through the metal detector, and the lines were minuscule.

Nope, expected that they'd be more. Not that Disney would add $50+ to every other previously booked night. Perhaps I missed it, but is there a reason why you didn't just make a new reservation starting when the existing one ends? (Not defending WDW, what they did is reprehensible) but if you...

Not wanting to bash your thought (I completely, totally agree that taxpayers should NEVER finance constructing a building for millionairs/billionairs to use to make money), but here in Orlando the Orlando City soccer team eventually stopped trying to get public funding for their new soccer...

I thought the Inglewood project was privately funded? Though I'd guess infrastructure improvements would be government funded, the stadium and related development were, I believed, funded by the owners.

What "government tax break" are you referencing?

Star Wars: Episode VIII' delayed to December 2017. From Seeking Alpha.

I'm not going to interpret other people's posts, but why don't you at least quote and detail the entire sentence, and not selectively pick and choose portions of it?

I can't speak for others, but we have always planned ahead and saved for whatever we do. As of now, we have our next five trips planned and booked, through the beginning of 2017. And are working on what to do after that.
