Well I for one certainly plan to learn from this post and not make the same mistakes this guy did. Besides the fact that no one should ever go back to WDW, there's a lot to be learned here:
First, WDW is not a very hospitable place. I've noticed the change too. All those CMs constantly smiling and telling you to have a great day and waiting on your every whim. Where do they get off? And what's really annoying is when you have a complaint, as this guy apparently had several, and Disney staff actually does something about it. Don't they realize the disappointment they are setting us up for in the real world? Shame on Disney.
Second, all of those hotels really have screwed up the transportation. I know how frustrating it is when I have to wait TWENTY minutes for a bus. For the prices we pay, the least Disney can do is purchase a limo for each hotel room on the property. And the good thing about that idea is that most of the hotel walkways could accomodate a limo, so your car could pick you up right at your hotel room door. That would get rid of the extremely inconvenient 5 to 10 minute walk to the bus stop that you have to endure at most on-site resorts.
Third, Disney really does need to expand. If you are going to add resorts, youreally need to give us some more things to do. In the last 15 years, Disney has added more than a dozen resorts. And what have they added in terms of entertainment? Disney-MGM, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Pleasure Island, Disney Market Place, Disney West Side, Wide World of Sports and the Animal Kingdom. Come-on, we need more than that. Especially when you consider that WDW is in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing to do off Disney property. Solution: Tear down some of the new resorts and use the material to build new monorails to every resort and attraction. Kind of kills two birds with one stone (i.e., the too many resort problem and the inadequate transportaiton problem).
car4911 has the right idea. His message needs to be heard. How else do we expect to get limos-to-your-door transportation and a new theme park for every new resort. Based on his post, I have already canceled my May, 2004 trip and have donated the money saved to the "car4911 Fund". For those who choose to contribute, your money will go to fund the therapy that car4911 will need because of his horrible Disney experience.
