If you are dissapointed in Disney, I respect your opinion. If that is what you think, you should stand by your beliefs. I love Disney. Will I still love Disney in 20 years? Probally. Is it a sure thing? Of course not. So, all insults and arguments aside, if thats what you think, stick with it, but people are bound to disagree. And think of this: If you didn't want people to share their opinions, why would you post on these (or any) boards.
Very well spoken! :sohappy:

While this board can be argumentative at times (and even worse on occasion :lookaroun ), if you can defend your position in an intelligent manner, you will gain respect.

If you come across as a blathering idiot sometimes (hello to myself! :lol: ), then you may get some rather heated responses that take some serious discussion in order to resolve the differences in opinion.

And some things cannot be resolved to the point where each party sees eye to eye. They need to get to the point where they both agree that the other party has a different view point, and that it is indeed valid for some percentage of the people that visit WDW.

And isn't that what this board is all about? All the great things about WDW? Not making a new member feel like a complete idiot (not that I can make any claims here as to having not cast the first stone. :( )

well back to the true thread... I only visited the park once when I was a small kid.. 6 or 7. To me it was overwhelming at that age plus it rained and I had to wear a huge poncho. When I went back at 14 I didn't appreciate it because I thought I was too old for it, but then I had a TERRIBLE sinus infection while at the Contemporary and my attitude changed each time I came back.

I think the moral of the story is; go back and have a sinus infection. Practice makes perfect and overtime it grew on me.

Yea I CONTRIBUTED!

I am sorry that you all find my post offensive and find it necessary to make fun of my writing. I was upset when I wrote the post and was writing quickly. I dont think it is necessary to insult me and make me more upset than I already am. I am very sad about the changes. I am sad about them destroying some of my childhood memories and now I am really upset because you have all made me feel like an idiot. I just wanted to get express myself to people who actually know the park but I guess you all are offended. I'm sorry this is how I feel. I'm sorry that WDW was my favorite place on Earth, I'm sorry that I dreamed of the day I would take my children on same rides I went on as a child. ....
duffyy, why is it rude that I am not happy with the way disney is currently being run. Am I not entitled to my own opinion? Am I not allowed to be affected or upset by what goes on? HOw have I insulted you?.....jojoyner55, like I said, I was writing fast because I was reading up on some of the latest renovations and rumors about Disney WOrld. I am not illiterate or childish. I am a straight A student with a full scholarship to college. I dont find it necessary to insult my writing when it has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make. You have done nothing but make me upset. I am already upset that I will never beable to take my children on the rides that my parents and grandparents took me on (including my dead grandfather who I was extremely close with and that may be why the changes upset me so much). ....imagineerfan, I am very familiar with that quote and was a teenager not to long ago myself. But if everyone in the family must go on seperate rides what is the point. If young children are too short for the rides or a grandparent cant go on because of a heart condition than its not really together. Yeah, everyone may be in the same park but your not experiencing the fun together. ....wannab@dis, your absolutely right, it is only my opinion, and I have a right to express it. dflye, all I could be is a silent protester. I had organized many petitions and wrote many letters to DIisney WOrld about the closing of Hoizons. After all that work they could have writen me a letter letting me know they received the letter. I felt like a fool thinking my opinion actaully matter.
All I wanted was to express my opinion to other WDW fans. It may seem like I overreacted but I was writing fast and was upste. No one here will ever understand what Disney WOrld was to me. No one here understands how I feel about the changes going on. They may be inevitable but I dont have to be happy about them. I'm sorry if I have insulted anyone, those weren't my intentions. If I had expected this kind of respose I never would have posted this. I wrote this post pretty fast and am not going over it for spelling errors. If you want to insult me on my spelling then fine. I think its rude but go ahead.


Ok, first of all, let me start of by saying that I am seriously sorry that you feel that way. While I can understand some of the things you said about classic rides being destroyed, I myself would be sad if certain rides I grew up with were demolished for others because to the WDW fans like ourselves, the unique classic rides we grew up with, is what attracted us to WDW. But, we must understand that WDW is a business and is all for making money, and if they were to keep the same attractions or ride systems that were top notch about 20 to 30 years ago, then WDW business would be severely down.

Classic attractions are possibly being made now. EE, M:S, and TT, yes all thrill rides, but to the newer generations of disney fanatics growing, EE could turn out to be the classic MKs Space Moutain, only at AK.

If WDW was the exact same as it was, without making any new state of the art attractions, would it be as popular and have as many new disney fans as it has. Possibly no. But I think most of WDI knows that they can't really touch many of the original attractions. A number of the classics still exist and you may just be overeacting.

Like I said, Im sorry you feel that way, but if you really were a disney fan, then maybe you could see WDW in a new view, like, take your kids there and see it through there eyes. Take them on the classics and the newer rides and see how much they enjoy them. And we get, we know you typed your post(s) fast :)

:lol: You just about got it.

Oh, and regarding BRYANSBABY's originaly post, Universal has changed much more than Disney has. The only "original" rides left at USF are ET, Earthquake!, Jaws, and Back to the Future. Pretty much. I may have forgotten one.

Wow

Wow!!!!!! That's not very nice!!!!!!! I don't think there is much truth to what your saying Disney is still the best place to take your family. I love Disney and can't tell you how many times I have been there sure you may miss a few old things but you learn to love the new ones :eek: :D

... and Jaws is going seasonal, a la CoP.

After reading through most of this post (admittedly skimming some posts that started off uninteresting or seemed dumb) I am going to be what looks like the only backer of BRYANSBABY.

Before you flame me though let me start by saying that I am not as much a fanatic as many of you. I dont dedicate portions of each day posting here and I can only afford to get to Disney once or twice a year. However with that said my efforts to get to Disney and precious little time there mean a heck of a lot to me in the grand scheme of things... and I do love Disney and love all the little details they put into everything they do, my whole family does.

Although I think BRYANSBABY may have gone a little overboard, I share her worries about where Disney is headed. I see many of the rides I loved being removed and some of them are replaced with in my opinion much worse rides... not to say they havent made some rides much better during that time. I too worry about Disney heading down the road of faster rides to compete with amusment parks. I want to see Disney compete and thrive... I just hope they keep up the wonderful 'calm' rides that got them where they are. I know with my family Disney isnt about going to enjoy the crazy rides... it's about relaxation and soaking in the great calm rides that all of us, young and old, can enjoy together as a family. It's about enjoying the 'little things' that Disney does so well both in the parks and resorts. I'm willing to bet that Disney World makes most of its money from the average family who wants to get away from all the "crap" of everyday life and enjoy quality time and relaxation with family... I just hope they dont head in a different direction from where they were for so many years. Im not saying Disney is any worse now then it used to be, in fact I think it might be better (as a whole, there are plenty of things I think are worse and were made so in recent history) but some of the changes lately are a valid cause of concern about Disney's future. For you to rip this girl is immature and ignorant. Just because you may like Disneys decisions doesnt mean everyone has to. Last I checked a discussion forum is made successfull due to different views that people can discuss... so why rip someone who expresses a view different than yours?

I understand the feeling.
I'm also in my early twenties, and know what its like to look back on childhood memories and feel helpless that they can't be recreated.

Its the same feeling going back to your home and realizing its not home anymore (insert that cheesy movie quote from Garden State here)
For many of us, it feels like home, and feels like we should have a say in how things go, but its just not so.

But...aside from the bashing...the above points are all valid. Change is necessary and has to be embraced- as long as it is a step towards improvement. You will never agree with all of the change and may feel helpless when things don't go your way, but for the most part most people agree with the majority of changes.

I have nothing new to add that hasn't already been said, so I'll leave it at that. :animwink:

Not obvious to me. And, call me stupid (hear them yell "You're stupid!") but I can not find it stated in the rules that politics are a taboo subject on the boards....

P.S. go me 100th post :sohappy:
It should be obvious. Politics has no place on a disney message board except in a few specific instances which this clearly is not one of.

You didn't get the memo I thought I sent you the memo. We got off that subject awhile back and are talking about the COP

OK, I read 4 pages of responses before I decided to post. WOW, do we all have strong opinions or what? :lookaroun

Bryansbaby, I'm only a little older than you, and I remember WDW the same way you do in some aspects. I miss some of the older rides, but I think it's also important to embrace the new ones. Even replacement rides such as Pooh, that many do not like. When I rode Pooh for the first time, it was a little sad to say goodbye to Mr. Toad, but I got to thinking about my own children. Most likely, they won't be really familiar with Mr. Toad like we were in the 80's. Pooh is character who most children of today, and more than likely tomorrow, will know and love. I know because ALL my nieces and nephews love Pooh and were so excited to see a ride all about him. I know it's sad to say goodbye to the past, but don't just give up on the future. Try to focus your good memories and make new memories to add to that collection, not replace it. If you chose to do that at Universal, then go and do that. But, I hope to see you on here again and at WDW again. :wave:

People who post on this board are more than entitled to their own opinions, so you need to remember that when you post. You shared a negative opinion about our most loved place on earth. This is going to evoke some negative opinions about you and your post. I'm sorry you were called names and made even more upset, but try to remember how upset you were about the changes, and think that many of us kinda felt the same anger at your post about Disney.

I hope to see you again on here. Welcome! :)
