I find the example with the car to be a poor example. If im buying a car I go in advance to test the car and inspect it to make sure it's to my liking. A better example would be planning to go see a major movie at your local movie theater only to arive to find out it's sold out for the rest of the night. The EXPECTATION is to see that movie. The REALITY is it's not available and you can choose to enjoy another movie or go home and let it ruin your night. You may have your expectations but YOU are the one whose has set them so you have only YOURSELF to blame when something doesn't live up to YOUR expectations.
And so is everyone who goes on a Disney Vacation and yet the majority of guests, while disapointed a ride is closed, move on and enjoy the rest of the park.
I stand by my statement. The only person who is letting themselves down is the singular individual because in that moment they are chosing to turn it into a negative opposed to an oppertunity to spend that time doing something else. It's okay to be disapointed, but to dwell on it and let it ruin one's vacation, that's pathetic.
You are not listening. I'm not upset the ride is closed (yes, it does bother me a bit... but, that's not the issue) The issue is the lack of communication when you know you are going to do something. Put it out there, let people make their own choices.
