I'm pretty sure any Official Disney Resort participates in this new kind of magic

The dismissal of early entry days is MOST DEFINITELY only another cutback. The only thing that they don't realize is that the only result will be a continued cutback in their attendance both at the parks and especially at their high priced resorts! This 26 yo kid always took advantage of the EE days. I agree that I don't want to see more hour long lines for characters to greet my morning. I would rather greet the morning with small lines at attractions. And just for everyone's sake, EE days were always full of the biggest DISNEY fans, staying at DISNEY owned resorts, waiting to get a jump start on spending more dollars on DISNEY merchandise! Disney has once again missed the boat with this decision. This decision is bad for the following reasons(heck it's down right disastrous!):
1. THIS WAS A BENEFIT THAT PEOPLE WHO SPENT MORE MONEY BY STAYING AT A DISNEY RESORT LOVE AND NOW EXPECT! THIS MADE IT WORTH STAYING AT THEIR RESORTS. NOW FEWER PEOPLE WILL STAY AT THEIR RESORTS CAUSING A NEED FOR FURTHER BUDGET CUTS.
2. THIS WILL CAUSE THE LINES AT THE PARKS TO BECOME EVEN LONGER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BY OPENING EARLY, DISNEY WAS ABLE TO FUNNEL SOME GUESTS THROUGH THE RIDES TO REDUCE THE LINE WAITS LATER (WHICH WE ALL KNOW CAN BECOME ATROCIOUS BY THE AFTERNOON)! THIS WILL LEAD TO GREATER REDUCTIONS IN VISITORS WHO CAN NOT STAND TO WAIT 1 AND 1/2 HOURS FOR A 2 MINUTE DUMBO OR ALADDIN RIDE! FEWER VISITORS MEANS LESS REVENUES WHICH = MORE BUDGET CUTS.
3. PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF ALSO ENJOYED THE SHOPS NOT BEING SO CROWDED IN THE MORNING AND SHELLED OUT THE CASH AT THAT TIME TO AVOID THE OVERCROWDED STORES LATER.
4. ONCE WE DISNEY FANS HAVE HAD A BITE OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT, WE WANT IT FOREVER AND MOST DECIDEDLY GET UPSET AT ITS DENIAL. IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR DISNEY TO UPSET ITS MOST LOYAL FANS AND CASH DONORS(aka CUSTOMERS OR VISITORS)
In the end it comes down to this those who make such extreme cuts are pulling carpet right out from under themselves. The oldest business maxim is still the best one: IT TAKES MONEY TO MAKE MONEY! Hopefully these latest events will signal the end of Eisner and the borad but not the independence of the Disney corporation!

the change isn't permanent. I think giving up Early Entry for a few months is much better than say...Enron. I think we all need to wait until the recession ends and see if disney brings Early Entry back. I'm not all that pleased with it being gone, but let's just relax for a few months...

i agree that we can give a little room for a very very very short time. But if it becomes permanant, then it will be very bad for the reasons I stated above.

Yes we have to use the alarm clock but getting the kids on all the rides in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland without any wait, then going back for naps/pool time at noon, and returning in the pm to the parks was awesome.
That's why I wrote "MOST OF THE FAMILIES" and not "ALL THE FAMILIES". That's because the majority of the people that spend a day in the park stays in the park all day , probably switches at night to see another park's night show.

I personally did not use EE. I tried it once or twice, and the parks were PACKED, with sizeable crowds even in the AM. The next time I stayed onsite, I did not make the mistake of going to the EE park, and I always avoided it. Crowds were much much more bearable, IMO.
