    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    We shouldn't even know about new speakers.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I applaud all of the above in addition to being done and drawing an imaginary line of any possible sympathy to anyone not willing to adapt to the changing situations of a pandemic in the first place and everything else in the past couple of years ultimately making this drag on and on and ending...

    News Disney hikes the price of Mickey Bars and Dole Whip along with hundreds of other food and beverage items at Walt Disney World

    I don't think that's at all speculative. I agree with a lot of it based on at least three families I know who only do Disney vacations. Don't discount that people resist change. WDW is a known and safe place. Regulars are not worried their pockets will be picked and the thief will disappear...

    News Disney hikes the price of Mickey Bars and Dole Whip along with hundreds of other food and beverage items at Walt Disney World

    Add to that trip to London and Paris real things and places with real historical significance. Coronations and real royalty, the Louvre, Tower of London, Versailles etc, all very easily doable utilizing real high quality subway, bus and rail infrastructure that doesn't break the bank to use...

    With all the recent changes, have they impacted you wanting to go to Disney any time soon?

    Their taking advantage of this is what puts a bad taste in my mouth. I'm half surprised they don't put that statement in an ad. Disneyland is still awesome and definitely worth the trip over the current state of WDW. If you are East Coast based, there is of course a higher cost to get to...

    With all the recent changes, have they impacted you wanting to go to Disney any time soon?

    They are at the point where they don't need to be as friendly. Why bother? People clamor for "reservations" to get into a park where they already have tickets. They are getting by with a relative skeleton crew including performing talent, and multiple restaurants and attractions either closed...

    With all the recent changes, have they impacted you wanting to go to Disney any time soon?

    One of the drivers to go to WDW multiple times within a five year period as a family back in the day was the addition of attractions, utilizing the "blessing of space". MK didn't open with Space Mountain. Even something relatively small such as the holiday and summer overlays for Country Bear...

    With all the recent changes, have they impacted you wanting to go to Disney any time soon?

    Answering the question of the thread, yes. "Recent" changes making us not wanting to go back include the same Journey into Imagination since our last trip in 2017 ( the crappy current one), imminent DME removal, Soarin' around the world (just awful), removal of World of Motion for Test Track (...

    What attraction do you wish was still around that you could experience with your children/SO?

    If I had to pick one, it would be Journey Into Imagination, with Horizons a close second. Luckily, our kids have ridden the nemo subs and seen the 20K video.

    Chapek and D'Amaro continue the tradition of no bonus or Christmas gift for Disney's Cast Members

    Yup. If you wanted the bonus, you had to attend. That was said verbally by the part time "HR" person, the admin assistant to the pres. of the company. Add to that, that "notes" were taken and by a strange coincidence, more than once, someone who didn't attend was let go within the first quarter...

    Chapek and D'Amaro continue the tradition of no bonus or Christmas gift for Disney's Cast Members

    It was a required attendance event with no team building, just a PowerPoint on company status. I was in sales and was hired with the explanation that bonuses are every year, but the amount varies depending on company sales for the year.

    Chapek and D'Amaro continue the tradition of no bonus or Christmas gift for Disney's Cast Members

    I used to work for a company that did a forced "employees only" Christmas party. They made it a point every year at the party to say it was for Christmas, which while a private company perfectly within their rights, but pretty obnoxious to the one very Jewish employee, let alone any others who...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I really wish people who can would just get the vaccination and the booster. Coming on two years of this soon.

    Dress the rooms like the lobby, and I would actually stay there. But, they gotta do it right.

    And the winner of WDWs worst advertising idea goes to

    I had one vacation where I just went to sleep, got up and went. That was when it hit me I was an adult. I never did it again. I am now always excited for any vacation or trip and I'm back to having it being really difficult to get to sleep the night before. It's a much better place to be.

    Yes, thanks to continued vaccinations for a bunch of them.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I'm only sorry my first introduction to it was only in 1985, right after the Phoenix started running there. Love that place!

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    The attitude comes from the frustration of the nonsense and it being promoted either tacitly ( saying nothing and being vaccinated) or actively by those with influence whether they be Nicki Minaj, or those who grab on to that and repeat/promote it as "something to think about", while at the same...
