That is a very big problem here. Thanks for highlighting it. Most leave without pointing out why.

Precisely and an unfounded sense of excessive entitlement is at the root of most wrongheaded comparisons like that.

That's not, "being tricked." It's acknowledging and maturely accepting the inescapable reality of the mass market. I know there is a lot of support in these forums for ignoring or railing against realities of the marketplace like that but most consumers are more mature than that.

December is getting more crowded, and so is October. WDW continues to grow in popularity decade after decade, and there's no rational basis to project that that won't continue given how they are investing in exactly what so many of their target audience wants. Based on the prioritization you...

You would need to say so given that granting the reality ruins your preferred narrative. The truth is that things are going to work they way they work even if you continuously rail against the reality of it. Regardless, the point is that Disney will include The Simpsons if they legally can and...

Disney has been upcharging since the first Club 33 opened and perhaps even before. The real bump in upcharging happened a few years ago as a reflection of the more general change in preference by consumers in our society for lower base prices with upcharges. We see it with airlines (lower base...

The tool is available (at least to some extent) without subscription, but it is based on snapshots in time; it isn't a real time view of what's available right this moment.

The point is that such exhortations are simply wrong - wrong in fact and wrong in standing. People, like you, said the same thing about Star Wars, and yet we have Galaxy's Edge with hour-long waits for a second-tier attraction. Star Wars has helped revitalize a theme park that had dropped to...

There are two aspects to this. First, I think there is a lot alarmism, sensationalism, and outright "poisoning of the pool" going on, leading guests, especially first-timers, to be fearful and inclined toward disappointment. Combine that with a society-wide problem with unchecked baseless...

The parties are probably going to remain a standard fixture. My guess is that they're pulling over a million dollars per party; perhaps even closing in on two million. I think there will be far too small of a number of guests disappointing and frustrated by that reality, as you are, to put a...

This is another one of those bits of pixie dust Disney has tried to offer for which the magical nature of such gets lost in the cynicism and negativity that has become so common in our society. It's a "no good deed goes unpunished" situation for Disney; they'd be better off never having offered it.

The order of Magic Bands for your entire party need to be accomplished all at once.

Last I saw, that area is still under construction, with new pavement going down and loads of "construction bushes" creating narrow paths to keep the entry still open. As with anything under construction, there will be compromises. Once the construction is complete, though, things will be much...

What you're seeing is a ridiculous bit of envy manifesting as a dual delusion on the part of those critics that they have higher standing to say what is and is not Disney more than the millions of customers and guests that appreciate what Disney is offering, and that they have higher standing to...

As you would -- as any reasonable person would -- if you were they. Someone afflicted by entitlement mentality can't make that connection about what they would do if the positions were swapped. A reasonable person recognizes that connection and realizes that, if they want to be on the winning...

I think it has always been a back and forth: (1) Trip planning "innovators" come up with a new exploit to give themselves an advantage; (2) Lots of other guests work hard to learn the trick in order to not fall behind; (3) Disney finds a way to block or mitigate the exploit returning everyone to...

They highlighted their continuing work with NASA during our last ride in mid-October. The greenhouses are both for "showing the concept" and for "actual use". They are working greenhouses; they produce significant harvests which are used in the the restaurants in the pavilion.

Even in this response your petty and childish nature comes shining through. So basically you admit that you're just being childish. Which is what I wrote. Glad we agree.

Unfortunately, they don't let guests ride individual parts of rides. :) My comments were with regard to entire attractions, and were written about the opposite relationship: Put Rock'n'Roller Coaster in Universal Orlando and watch the guests who ride mostly thrill rides: Which rides will they...

They just redid Fantasyland. It is clear that they're in the process of redressing Tomorrowland and adding an top-shelf attraction.
