Actually, I was asking what the point of your post was, since it had absolutely nothing to do with the talk of what happened at the after hours event. Just more mud-slinging at WDW by you. Of course, that's pretty much all you do nowadays.
To each their own. I'm not paying for park entry either way, nor eating in the parks so the topic of "paying astronomical amounts" for anything at Disney is rediculous to me.
So just because you don't pay for anything, anyone who does is wrong?? And why do you even go there???
How exactly would this impact you in even the slightest possible way?
There's absolutely zero evidence of "scaling back of hours" nor "migrating EMH to crap like this" apart from crybabies on the internet who like to make up boogeymen in their minds and then complain about them. It has never been the case that park hours are exactly the same year-after-year and there hasn't been a single cut to EMH.
Of course not, but belittling people for paying money for an experience that you wouldn't pay for is small-minded. I would never pay to go to a Super Bowl, but obviously thousands of people do. I don't belittle them because they paid thousands of dollars to do something that I can do from my living room. See the point at all?
I never said it was "wrong." I, like MANY others in this thread, believe it's yet another money-grabbing attempt by Disney which will be marketing this as a HUGE SUCCESS I'm sure.
And I think it's a waste of money to fly First Class on an airplane. That doesn't mean I begrudge first glass passengers, nor do I throw a tantrum at Delta Airlines for offering those seats.
Never belittled anyone or called them names for going.
Why would they market it as a huge success if it's not one? If it fails, they'll stop offering it. Simple as they. They have no reason to lie and claim something is successful if it's not.
Have you ever flown 1st class? It actually IS a premium experience.
To raise interest in the event and make people think they should quickly get their tickets. Not unheard of in the advertising world.
I wear $400 shoes but buy my shirts for $6 at the thrift store. The point is, neither "premium" nor "worth" are objectively definable characteristics. See also: Trump Steaks, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, or concierge level at the Polynesian. Premium for some, not for others. So what?
What's the evidence they failed? Even if they failed, so what? Try something new. If you succeed, great. If you fail, what's the harm in having tried?
And that's one of the many things we disagree on. I don't believe that it was a simple money-grabbing attempt by Disney. I think they made an honest attempt to give people a different experience. Not everything that Disney does is nefarious, but some on these forums would have you believe that. I don't. Would I pay for it? No. Does it affect my trip if I don't pay for it? No. Do I care if someone wants to spend their vacation dollars on this? No, that's up to them. Why do you seem to care so vehemently about this???? How does it affect YOU?
