That bad??
I still wonder, How many attractions will be open compared to the supposed full list? only 25%?

Tell that to all of the actors who were let go.
Another example of just how deep the cuts run.
Effective this Sunday, all of the Cast Service Centers across property will be eliminating all the cast (who will be moved to other positions).
The Cast Service Centers are there to support cast with things like paycheck assistance, language learning, health insurance info etc.
The service centers will remain in operation for now, unmanned, with a few books to help the cast in place of the humans.
To further underline just how desperate things are this time, the service center CMs survived the 9/11 and 2008 cuts.

Wow, I am simply gobsmacked at the depth of the cuts at WDW now, Back in 2001 the place was a ghost town because everyone was too scared to travel so cuts were indeed necessary. But now supposedly after the 'Best Quarter Ever' why is this happening. What makes me furious is while they cut things like this the stock buyback program goes on like nothing ever happened.

Lies! Slanderous lies! These completely unprecedented measures are clearly part of the annual routine.

Your "end of the world" talk is coming closer to reality every day. This is madness. Something will break soon and it won't be pretty.

Thanks a lot Disney for all the cuts WDW had the last few months and made us lose our chances of seeing Star & Marco from Star vs the Forces of Evil start meet & greets,having only one daytime parade in one park,and now delaying the new Frozen ride until June

Yup and everyone thought I was crazy, I've just seen too many failing organizations in my career and Disney is/was exhibiting all the classic signs and this makes me very very sad because WDW has always been my 'happy place' where I could check out from reality for a week or so. But Disney is hellbent on dragging every day reality into the once isolated park experience,
Starbucks was the first crack in the wall, I can't argue that the brown dishwater that Disney called 'coffee' was superior to a Starbucks coffee drink, But I can argue that destroying the Bakery and it's unique treats for a run of the mill Starbucks was a downgrade of the Disney experience. I would have been overjoyed if the coffee drinks had been ADDED to 'The Bakery' but instead....
Yes the shoe is gonna drop and it's gonna be uglier than even I can imagine.

My response to this is quite vulgar. Even by my standards.....

@wdwmagic and @WDW1974 :
Our resident Spirit has already told us how many of Shanghai's cost overruns come from rebuilding shoddy work. Having finished a conversation with someone in Shanghai, it seems another problem is that the Chinese aesthetic is so extremely different from Western ones, they have ignored instructions and built things their way anyway. Then WDI has had to go in, say it's not right, and fix it.

Disney Springs no longer has a weekly times guide slip, guidemaps safe... for now.
