That eloquently sums up what I feel. Far more ably than I can express.

Corporate Graft and Money Laundering. I've got no proof but everybody keeps beating their heads against the wall wondering why these projects cost billions, take years, and we see little. These people aren't stupid. They don't waste money or not know how to spend it. It's all going in the front...

Cheap. It's a perfectly acceptable word to use. It can be used in many contexts and understood as such.

Yeah. I shouldn't have said that in definite terms. I can see it working out that way too, depending on the grouper. In my experience (in the main queue with my two daughters who wanted to ride together) the grouper asked me what seat I wanted before pulling somebody from the single rider line...

I understand that. My feeling is that WDW shouldn't be trying to be all things to all groups of people. Sure, there should be a nice variety, but be yourself and retain the identity that made you special to begin with.

Just to clarify my point. There is a theme that they are accomplishing in the cheap design of the value resorts. This tower is all design and no theme. I'm sure it wasn't monetarily cheap though bu it has very little substance. It's like fancy looking costume jewelry on a shallow woman.

They think it looks classy and chic. It looks cheap to me. At least the All Stars and Pop Century are purposely going for the cheesy look when they went cheap. If conventioneers don't like Disney style theming and would rather have Vegas then don't have your convention at Disney. The...

Just to add, though it should be obvious, the single rider has to defer seating choice to the rider they are paired with. Which is as it should be.

Perfect description. That is exactly what we experienced. I guess I should have asked some questions and gotten advice on here before I went. My fault totally. Still, I didn't feel that it was a good value.

Pirates and Pan both had about 10 minute waits but everything else was pretty much a walk-on. My main complaint is how crowded the park felt overall. I was still dodging people even on wide paths. There was no leisurely stroll through the park. Maybe my expectations were misguided. This was my...

There is a sucker born every minute and I'm embarassed to say that Disney got me again. I've been so frustrated in the past few years with fighting the crowds and trying all different times of the year. I can't enjoy myself when walking through MK seems like Penn Station at rush hour, all day...

Good point. The difference is that Vegas has no soul. And it shows in the theming.

I rode for the first time Sunday as well. I wasn't necessarily blown away by it either but I can't complain about the theming. I didn't have anybody bigshots in my group to shorten my wait. I queued up around 5 and was off around 7. Single riders were telling me it was a little over an hour...

Exactly! This faux ritz style has zero connection to the elements that are/were at the essence of the parks and what made them unique. This stuff is Vegas style. How long will this decor(which is all it is) be in fashion? Probably 5 years until it gets changed out. There isn't any substance to...

I think the Friday's comments came from mocking my post that you could plop this restaurant down in any city's suburban outdoor shopping plaza and it would fit right in. I stand by that post. The point being is that it looks nice, comfortable and inviting, and all those things are great, but...

"It doesn't feel like the Disney I used to know and fell in love with". Not "I was in love with Downtown Disney". Go back to school and learn some reading comprehension before you chastise somebody for an opinion that they didn't even express next time. I was speaking of the resort as a whole...

Whatever.

Just talked to my source. He says the difference in construction is due to California being on the metric system.

Good for you if you like the direction that they are taking with all the new resort builds. I wish I had your taste in design because it doesn't make me happy and I don't enjoy being unhappy. Disney Springs may be detailed and all shiny, new and hip but it lacks character. There is no heart in...

I've seen the photos. Aerial views can trick the eye. They don't account for scale. The buildings and walkways are all 1/3 smaller in Florida. I questioned this too but got confirmation from my source.
