Dollywood is on my list of parks to visit. Maybe this December if everything goes perfectly. ...big if. It doesn't help that all the major airports are too far to use Lyft/Uber/Taxi.

You didn't mention the price, and I cant be arsed to go research it, but I can spend an entire day there having fun. $250 for a full day's entertainment is a good deal. I mean, look at the price of a decent Taylor Swift concert seat and then tell me all day at Epcot is worth less?

That is certainly the healthy way to handle it. I am getting better at handling small slights the same way. For me tho, I have some...baggage... that makes me hypersensitive to being taken advantage of. Ignoring boorish behavior is also the sorta thing that enables the behavior. Take out all...

Right!? I would feel funny leaving my family behind, and then asking them to cut in front of everyone to join me. That's like rude x2. I wish we could up the karma setting just a little.

In my opinion, this is part of the burgeoning attitude of "I will do whatever I want, and I don't care if you don't like it." Remember back prior to the 00's society seemed to push the concepts "good manners" and "Etiquette"? Think about it, when is the last time you heard any focus on those...

The second I stop moving and start waiting behind other people, the line starts. So, pretty much how you laid it out. The Haunted Mansion stretching room, while it is part of the line, doesn't register as part of the line in my brain. Sooooo, in theory, you can have multiple lines for an...

Lol, that is some car salesman gymnastics right there. ...did they also ask about your extended warranty? Seriously tho, the airlines used to do it all the time. Offer upgrades to first class for a discount rate. I used to take them up on it too. ...then they stopped, not sure why. I suspect...

I think the peak of Disney merch presence was signified by the era of Disney stores in every mall. ...or at least in lots of the malls around here (Texas). I used to like shopping there until they poofed. It has been on the decline since then. Well, if you are talking about Micky Mousy stuff...

I was sooo annoyed when they started closing the restaurants at 7 (don't recall 4pm). We had the AP with the food plan and it became dang near impossible to make it to the park, park, enter, and make it to the front of the food line in time. Oh, and closing time was 11pm. Even with all those...

The parks could have Six Flags standards and still be popular so long as the global economy provides enough discretionary income to visit. The question then becomes, is the world's economic future bleak or sunny? It is not in the interest of the global 1%'ers for it to tank, so it probably...

I mean, you're almost entirely correct. The only part that I didn't completely follow was the walls/fencing. Construction is arguably a good sign? The people mover has been notoriously fiddly since at least 2012. I have been on exactly zero trips where it was not down part of the time. I am...

Somebody already said it, but I'll say it again for emphasis... don't shut down the park immediately after any major event. Figure out when people naturally leave and then close the park then. Hint; somewhere around 1am. Never ever before 10pm.

I'd certainly like it! :cool: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

As someone with a large staff and a large number of volunteers on top of that, I can share with you on good authority a little piece of wisdom... You don't 💩 on volunteers. There is no greater ROI when it comes to labor or advocacy. Volunteers are free walking advertisements for your brand...

No, but If by tailspin you mean lower crowd levels, then sure, I'd be eager to return even with Six Flags level quality. I don't do crowds anymore on my own volition.

In order of least favorite first. The ones in red don't qualify as a "favorite" at all and could go away for something better. In green are attractions that are favored to various degrees. Prince Charming Regal Carousel Mad Tea Party Main Street Vehicles Country Bear Jamboree Tomorrowland...

I'd be this.... ...so that I could at least listen in on people's conversations. Being a ride animatronic would be boring really fast. It would be like real life.... slowly dying on public display. (joking, dark humor slipped out)

I was kinda wondering what you though of that particular window. :p

I guess it all depends on what you are doing there. Everything you said is true, but there are also the world class shows, gambling (which, if you are not a degenerate, can be fun-ish) food (albeit really expensive now) and conventions. If you use Vegas as a home base, you can also do lots of...

You can add the Stratosphere to the list. We used to like that place because it had (sorta) a monorail stop. But all the homeless between you and the 1/4 block walk to the station kiboshed that at night. ...that and the entire place got pretty crusty inside. I am shocked they closed the Rio...
