I also am wondering if this is the direction they are going to go. Not quite a real membership "club" like 33, but something for big spenders, some corporate access, VIPs and anyone else who is willing to pay $$. Whatever "membership" they come up with, I'm sure it won't be nearly as...

The bloat is definitely there, but on the other hand I've also heard from some mid-management friends/acquaintances that they are often tasked to do the impossible with minimal staff support. In those cases though, more staff might help with the particular tasks at hand, but higher level...

Some of them have undergone refurbs, but some have not. It's really just a toss-up depending on which train you get. I will say it was quite unpleasant getting on some trains this past August where the AC wasn't working.

I loved that invisible dog leash as a kid too! One of my first WDW souvenirs. Good times.

You're right that it's not as bad as BLT, but your first quote seems to illustrate the point about the GF Villas. It is too boxy and out of scale. The architectural detail is lacking and seems more artificial (fake dormers vs. real dormer windows with real guest rooms behind). Even the red...

I've found the Peoplemover tracks, supports, and decorative elements of the buildings in Tomorrowland are usually filthy, and looked like they haven't been cleaned in decades. They need a regular power washing, and they're just not getting it, sadly.

And the bread service disappears....and the prices go up by a dollar or two after a few weeks...and another few dollars a few months later...and the portions get just a little bit smaller...

Of course this shouldn't be an either/or proposition. It would be wonderful to have fun new amenities. My kids would probably really like these ideas too! (So would I). But there has been a complete lack of willingness to improve upon the core basics first, and that shows an odd sense of...

Completely agree. It's a shame they got rid of those nice cloth hand towels at the deluxe resorts restrooms, for example. How so? I know it's been rumored they were doing updates at deluxes, but I don't think we've seen much of it come to fruition (yet?).

I believe there were screenshots of the surveys posted on another site. But again, surveys just mean its something being considered, not necessarily anything that will ever happen.

Its not always a problem of improperly cleaned rooms (which would be a result of poor daily housekeeping) but a lack of the deep cleaning of rooms that isn't happening like it used to. Dust on fixtures and behind the furniture, carpets that desperately need a steam cleaning (or replacement) or...

There a few reasons: 1. Those with small children (about 6 or 7 and under) needing a car seat. Uber + carseat service can be more expensive, while the $20 for a Minnie van includes the car seats. Generally in these cases the Minnie van will actually be the less expensive option. 2. Easier...

What if housekeeping actually did a thorough vacuuming every day and they steam cleaned room carpets monthly? I mean, yes, carpets are more prone to getting dirty but if you maintain and clean them appropriately it shouldn't be a problem. Of course that would cost more.

It was nice in its prime. They had all the artwork and collectibles on the third floor and would occasionally do character meets up there. It was a fun place to browse. The best part of the Fifth Avenue store were the nice, clean bathrooms in the basement level...a great find in Manhattan!

Disney used to value this concept, but in many instances this is no longer the direction they are headed. I've heard rumors of major changes coming to the World of Disney at Springs next year, and the "blank slate where brands can come and go without any notice" is playing heavily into it...

Sometimes there's a CM stationed at the bottom who helps pace the line a bit. Not sure how they determine if/when that is necessary, but it is important for safety. Of course, as has been reported in other threads that in looking to save on labor they've considered the necessity of having...

While the recent room remodels in various resorts have eliminated carpet, none of them have installed wood floors. The flooring installed is LVT, (luxury vinyl tiles) which are essentially vinyl strips which have a (very convincing) wood-grain pattern that are adhered to the concrete...

Might be for "operational" reasons. There really won't be a need to keep both water parks open Friday (they would probably be pretty quiet this time of year even without the storm) and this gives them an extra day to secure Blizzard Beach in advance and possibly send cast members to other...

You go riding around on Magical Express buses a lot these days?

Not sure if you're aware, but until the mid - late 2000's (can't remember exactly when), MK's Small World load area indoor facade was multi-color.
