Ivory Tower Squabble EST 2011. WINDMILL SURVIVOR
Not that I don't agree with you but ironic that we're talking about trees being IN the way when I'd give a million bucks to have tree back IN the hub at the MK. At least those weren't blocking the view of the fireworks.
You and me both. Back in the day the MK was much cooler. The shade was not only great to sit in here and there but it kept the concrete cooler too. When I was small there were large trees on Frontierland and Fantasyland that kept the areas cooler. There were nice trees in Town Square and Main Street to keep sidewalks shaded for parade viewing. The hub was beautiful. Now it reminds me of Six Flags in Illinois. A year or so ago Disney ripped out the nice trees in Town Square and replaced with tiny twig trunk trees.
And that isn't all I am old enough to recall, I can't tell you how many times we saw the Candlelight Processional for free? We are a silly stupid bunch of fans. I use to be able to get into Fantasmic without waiting for hours on Sunset Street, watch fireworks at the MK without waiting for hours. Now the things that were once free with admission almost need you to fork out a couple hundred dollars for dinner for a family of 4 or $100 for little morsels of dessert to reserved a spot that once was free. I am not a cheap person but once I've paid nearly $100 to get in paying $100-250 more for my family to actually get to see what was once free is irking. This isn't like the Trek or a special tour that is for hours, or Haunted Mansion dinner party, it is a relatively short show that had been free. I don't blame Disney, they saw a market, the guests willing to pay dearly for all these nice shows instead of viewing for free, guests that happily willing to pay twice.
Oy.
