That's not really fair. Disney forces you to plan vacation trips weeks and months in advance and charges ridiculous prices for the privilege. If that particular day was your MK day and you had it planned for six months...yes, the inconvenience is annoying and unfair. Saying that does not...

Experienced Grad Night ...... and KC & The Sunshine Band :cool:

Bingo!

That .... was a memory that has obviously lasted a lifetime. That is the way life should work :) Thanks for sharing!!!

When we travel with our 20-something kids, we fly Allegiant, which has a non-stop from Knoxville to Sanford. Such an easy flight and easy airports to navigate (including TSA), on each end. But when it's just me and my wife, we drive the 10 hour drive and it's enjoyable and relaxing (except...

These comments however, shed a different light on the question. "How" you vacation and tour parks makes a difference in how you answer the question. We used to be rope droppers till they kicked us out of the parks so yes, our hotel was basically a shower and a pillow. These days (at...

Bingo!

Reading this made something "click" with me. I generally try to treat people with respect and the way I'd want to be treated. But I've had more than a few times in my many years where I've treated a customer service agent or waitress or other public facing person in a not-so-nice way, just...

..... overheard from a conference room in Burbank.... "Bob, so what you're telling me is, we can raise prices to embarrassing levels, charge for parking and other once unheard of items, plus cut maintenance budgets, cut shows, cut parades, and cut fireworks ....... and then put that money in...

Yes! A thousand times Yes!

And therein lies the answer for every issue related to WDW.

As with many things, there are probably several answers. 1. It would seem that whoever is in charge of each park (Park President or VP?) just isn't very interested in routine upkeep and maintenance. I worked for a company once and the owner used to walk the property daily looking for the...

One thing that discounts though, and has been mentioned earlier in this thread, is the opportunity cost of creating Disney brand loyalty and future Disney customers. In terms of today's revenues, your analysis on the surface is correct. But for the next 20-30 years, the NBA won't...

An interesting pipe dream to be sure. In good times (i.e. pre-COVID) the parks contribute too much to the bottom line for Disney to spin this off. As it is, Parks are only about 25% of total revenue so for the right price, it could be done while still leaving DIS as a large, profitable...

Probably not a great example of a "Disney-themed" attraction but I still have memories of "If You Had Wings" in MK. That dang song gets stuck in my head when I think about it. Eastern Airlines is no longer around but in a Fictional "Memories Park", maybe Delta or Allegiant could be the sponsor...

Thanks!

Seriously....what do the job responsibilities and authority look like for a VP-Pick Your Park? The VP wouldn't have authority to to add a new $300M attraction. In fact I'd assume the final sign off on a new big attraction comes only from the Bob's. So other than park cleanliness, lower level...

That's fair. Good point. Leadership (in our country) with transparency, honesty, and solid communication, seems to be in short supply ..... and has been that way for a long, long time.

In fairness, I don't think most people have a clue about what it takes and took to get to this point. Most people just know that in March 2020 our world turned upside down and now only 10 months later we have a solution. I'd imagine that a research scientist would not necessarily understand...

Very interesting observations. I've lived all over the country as well and yes, some places are worse than others (don't get me started on the speeding and lane changing of Atlanta drivers...). And you are right about the elevator behavior. Maybe someone on this forum with a psychology...
