Yet the negative Nancys will continue to peddle their "everything is cuts" rhetoric regardless. It isn't about being informative or helpful; it's about street cred with other curmudgeons.

There was no "hooey". You just didn't like what I wrote. Live with it. And I suppose my mother wore Army boots, too? Just because some other people here behave like children in response to my comments, don't stoop to their level Tony. I never said anything against the Tune-In Lounge. You're just...

Along with every other stock. What point do you think you were trying to make?

Because anyone who puts the cabal in its place must be me. How deep does that delusion go for you, Dan?

No rose-colored glasses here: I see the putrid corruption of the complaining going on. As if you know whether anyone is actually sweating bullets or not. Perhaps this is also another example of "The Problem With Disney Fans" - claiming that they know what Disney execs are thinking. LOL. What...

No I'm not. I simply posted something you don't like and for which you don't have a legitimate rebuttal. And I've been highlighting the vapid nature of such complaints since the net.disney days in the early 1980s. When I started highlighting the vapid nature of such complaints, there wasn't a...

Another perfect example of "The Problem With Disney Fans". The topic is theme park entertainment. Every guest is equally qualified and capable, even if you cannot bring yourself to admit it.

What is your political persuasion? Whichever it is, I can "read various discussion boards" of the opposing side and conclude that there "seems to be a broad consensus on a number of matters" contrary to your political beliefs. It's called "the echo chamber" and there's one for every absolutist...

Indeed. And yet we occasionally get the vapid rejoinder from the cabal claiming that no one thinks that way. Here we see the truth underlying "The Problem With Disney Fans" revealed.

Correct: People twisting themselves into pretzels in a vain attempt to make their personal preference sound more important than it really is. And as I indicated above, the fact that Disney is serving you and not them makes you the "winner" in what those twisting themselves into a pretzel have...

That's self-serving claptrap. "My opinion and that of my few thousand friends is 'consensus' and 'discerning' and the opinion of the hundreds of thousand of other people isn't!" And that ridiculously egoistic attitude is a perfect example of "The Problem With Disney Fans."

Yes. It should be accepted by those critics and practiced, anyway, if it successfully satisfies enough guests (even if those guests satisfied doesn't include the critics), but surely if the critics are grounding their criticisms in some claims about the founder, then anything he did "inarguably"...

I agree. It seems that the anonymity fosters a dark streak. However, there is a difference: I see nothing wrong with people sharing that they don't like something. What I find offensive - really: damaging to the community - are claims that seek to make personal dislike sound more important than...

Typically about 35-45 minutes.

You, of course, pre-made the decision that my reply was nonsensical because it contradicted what you wanted to complain about. So it is no surprise that you failed to understand the point I made. So according to you, every time something ends, something specific must replace it, and presumably...

False: I'm "assuming" you don't know. There's a difference. Meaningless to the business, which is of course what all the vapid, self-centered bashing of Disney's management, to which my comments were posted as reply, is aimed at. Remember: People aren't talking about what they like versus...

Nonsense. I am just mirroring the tone of those people putting themselves up as smarter than the people who actually run Disney, speaking to them in the only language they seem to know. I have never said that I'm the "end-all-be-all" of Disney guests or better than anyone else: Many other people...

Yes, we have. Over and over and over. And yet they're still the market leader by a mile with a radically upward trend in revenues over thirty years. Maybe instead of Disney needing to "learn a lesson", maybe those who think Disney needs to are actually the ones who need to.

It is irrelevant until prices rise to the point where there aren't enough upper-upper-class folks left to afford to visit in numbers sufficient to make up for the less affluent folks who can't afford to visit. People dance around the reality, but the reality is that many companies employ price...

Not at all. People appreciate different things differently, and some people appreciate a greater portion of what is offered than others. Debt is irrelevant to this discussion though. Deliberately telling people not to visit would be stupid. Directing resources toward satisfying other customers...
