Agreed. But it's a problem that they created. They created "demand" with a blend of nostalgia combined with clever marketing, combined with what used to be a great product. But they didn't grow to meet a growing demand. So now they want to price out those that can't afford to pay to...

My thoughts exactly, on all points (except I never worked for DIS).

Lot's of people say lots of things that aren't necessarily true. Look around today....how many public figures in all walks of life do you believe? If it's more than zero, then we should talk. I've already ceded that Walt wasn't just in it for the money. But regardless of what anyone...

It's a difficult decision for all of us. Many of us have grown up with the Disney Parks and we love those experiences. And we want to continue to love those experiences. To give them up is painful. But sadly what we've had is not what we've got. Obviously many folks are fine with what we...

Bingo!!!! "Pat, what prize do we have for this young lady?"

All great choices.... shows great initiative. However, the only thing that would get Bob's attention would be choice number 8: 8) Don't give TWDC a penny of your money for anything Until that happens, it's full-steam ahead!

Oh, I certainly get that. Walt was a businessman as much or more than he was a creative. Difference was, Walt wanted (as much as I can tell from reading history) to both provide a great product/experience as much as he wanted to profit from it. My comments were more geared toward the...

This is discussed here all the time, but I'm not sure I believe this. Why would Bob care about reducing crowds? The less people that are in the parks means less cupcakes and t-shirts to sell. Bob is absolutely not concerned one tiny bit if the park is too crowded. Being too crowded...

Lots of things "work" if everything goes just right. I think that is called "in theory". But more things than not, are built on some sort of "house of cards" foundation. I'm not wishing it .... far from it ..... but ANY business can fail, even TWDC. Be careful Management.

It's true that increases have always happened. In fact it happens with all businesses. It's called transitory inflation. But the increases over the past 10-15 years have FAR outpaced normal inflation, which added to the fact (some might say "perceived fact") that we are paying more for...

This is a "fan board" so I get the comments. Problem is, TWDC is in the business of "making money" for its Shareholders. Which in turn makes money for Management. EVERYTHING else is secondary. Period. TWDC is NOT in the business of "making magic" for you or me. EVERYTHING they do...

If you don't like this, then do your part. We did. Our last trip was in Feb 2020. We had almost reached our breaking point at that time for diminished quality vs increasing prices. In late 2020 we finally broke. We cancelled a planned 2021 trip and sold our DVC points. We went to...

Lots of great ideas in this thread and if 50%+ of them were accomplished, the WDW Fandom would be ecstatic. The only way this could ever be accomplished, beyond "dreaming", would be: and then treat it like a non-profit. As long as profit is the motive, you'll keep getting what you're...

couldn't ... or wouldn't ....

If you have too many rides and attractions, then guests won't be spending extra money in stores and restaurants. The Bob's know what they are doing .......

If I could "like" this entire post a thousand times, I would. You hit the nail on the head!!!

I get it. I do. And I really wasn't pointing the finger at you. I've been wanting to express that for a long time as we see similar posts all the time. And I've certainly been tempted to justify and talk myself into "just a small trip". But we have finally drawn our line. We have...

I'm not trying to be mean or point the finger at anyone, but WE have got to STOP! These forums are littered with thread after thread of listing all that has gone wrong or changed with WDW and how disappointed and angry with are with TDC, and yet almost every post ends with "I am done with...

Bingo!

You're right. I wasn't paying attention. I honestly don't really care and I'm not sure why I posted. I'll just go away now.
