The first time I went to Walt Disney Land part of the Magic Kingdom was closing early for a special event. This is nothing new, that was 1975.

Well they currently have a fireworks show and will be getting an upgraded one soon. Also the stage show which will also have a first order march. SWW may be gone, but pretty much everything except the celebs will be there starting in April.
Sure it's misleading to an extent to market DHS as the home of all things Star Wars, but it's at least getting a land and has a decent amount going on. Frozen was a MUCH more misleading.

considering how most hours barely change (only between seasons or when refurbishments)... you're giving them way too much credit.
technically, you do.
Lately you have been putting a lot of excuses for Disney.

Yeah that land we are supposedly getting well Spirit notes that it will be at least 2020 before we see it, So at least for me that does not count at all

I agree, not yet. But I am looking forward to the new fireworks show though.

That is something NEW to enjoy for a change at WDW which is a very good and much needed show. The constant cuts make me sick at heart.

I try to avoid even seeing what the cuts are at this point. I almost don't even want to know anymore. It's getting to the point of just being stupid.

Some people can only hear "It's a Small World" so many times before they snap.

Proof that some people haven't evolved enough from Chimps. Disgusting.
I noticed it at every single ride I went on. It was the one thing that made me think wth is going on?

You may actually be on to something there. The deed was done at the prettiest potties in the kingdom!

If that's what the bathroom stall looked like, the person who did must have been a mess.
There is only so much you can clean up in a bathroom sink and some paper towels. I hope they had a change of clothes!! 
When I was in high school working at a gas station some guy used the men's room (which I had to clean) and literally shat 6 feet up the wall. It was an impressive spray pattern he achieved and then did nothing to even try an clean it up. Why would anyone be so disgusting. If you don't want to clean up your own mess than someone else certainly is not going to want to clean it up.
Not sure if this has been discussed already, but I"m hearing reports that Disney is offering International CPs to end their program early and go home and for doing so, they will give them 900 dollars.
If true, that's VERY concerning to me. I would expect them to cut part time hours and even the full time CMs down to the minimum and use CPs to fill the gap. I definitely don't expect them to cut CPs either domestic OR international.
These are very concerning times

Why do these posts keep popping up? These aren't concerning times, many these are being blown out of proportion, more than I have ever seen around these parts.
Why? because that's what the entire thread is about! Entertainment being cut, CM hours being cut, operating hours of attractions and merchandise shops being reduced, and now CPs being offered a stipend to go home!
This is not being blown out of proportion. It's coming straight from the front lines of the CMs experiencing it.
Let me guess, you believe it's all due to "guest demand" right?
Yes, it is guest demand driving this as seen by some of the responses on here. Some of the guests demand longer lines, fees on everything, less rides, less employees and higher prices. I can't wait until I have to swipe my magic band for a fee to ride the monorail or open a bathroom door....need a drink from the water fountain, that's one snack credit from your "magical" band

There have been Star Wars DHS ads plastered all over every other billboard up and down I-4 and the 528. Why are they jacking up the advertising for a half-closed park while heavily implying that the additions that won't materialize for at least 3 more years are ready to go? I'm sure they'd like to squeeze every dime they can out of DHS while it's under construction, but this is just absurd.

Not very magical is it? I wish everyone would take pics when they see a mess like this at Disney. Post your photos here and email to Disney management. Pictures really are worth a thousand words.

I'm in an internationally staffed office and they have to keep signs posted above urinals and thrones about what NOT to put in them. Frequently we get everything.

Well there is a loyal Disney fan, Too bad that loyalty will not be returned or rewarded... V.I. Lenin had a name for people like this.
