Oh come on. This person can't have an objective opinion to the crowd mentality of these boards?

Just because you don't agree with the naysayers, doesn't mean you work for Disney. I don't agree with Fox News, that doesn't mean I work for MSNBC.

edit: not saying that working for Disney is a negative attribute.
What's so objective about his post? He claims the article is wrong, well tell us why... Or are the bosses at Celebration Place only telling them to post nonsense that the article isn't true, spit out about attendance and spending, and then walk away..

So I have a different outlook and I get attacked. Apparently you have no open mind about the possibility of MyMagic+ actually working. Standby times are down, attendance and guest spending are up. Sounds to me that people are angry that something they don't grasp is actually working.
Cause it isn't working... Guest spending being up has nothing to do with MyTragic... but has everything to do with jacked up prices... If you sell 500 shirts for $20 bucks, then jack prices to $40 and sell the same 500 shirts, spending would be up... But sales aren't...

Gotta look at the whole picture, but then again, you are only posting what your bosses are telling you to...

I won't say much about what I know but this is all so laughable. This has been put out by APs and people not in the know AT ALL. Leave it to naysayers to use fear tactics. Nothing is on hold. Nothing is being cut. In fact attendance and spending are up. Relax and don't listen to people who make up things and sell them as fact.

I just love when someone with 25 posts and no rep here whatsoever thinks he/she/it has the ability to simply state something inane and pass it off as fact when it is just their incorrect in so many ways opinion.

Even more amusing that the one like he gets comes from old CountyBearFan -- a BANNED poster -- in another account, someone who posts nothing but hate about this site, its owners, its moderators, and about 95% of the folks who post here on Twitter on an almost daily basis. Hey, Phil, go back to the Twitverse or chasing foamheads!

Attendance is up and guest spending is up due to the increase in prices of everything from resorts to ticket media to Food and Beverage ... try again!

Attendance is up due to more guests in park Guests are buying MORE items and most importantly stand-by times are down.
You are wrong... Sales are not UP... If guests were buying more items, sales would be up.. They are flat at best... Spending and sales are two different things.. so try again...

As for stand by lines, in what UNIverse (sorry @WDW1974 I have to copy this) are stand by wait times down? I just got back a few weeks ago... Stand by wait times were atrocious and the parks were not busy at all.. care to explain why pirates and HM had 40 minute wait times when the stand by line was not long at all?

Of course not. I saw standby lines in October that were absurd on attractions like Pirates, Small World, SSE etc ... lines that would not exist if not for this billion dollar boondoggle.

But you are wasting your time arguing here ... and I am not in the mood for playing right now.

I can honestly say, the trip at the end of October was the worst I ever had... So bad I am not going back... I did, however, have a great time in Universal and IOA.. And already have plans to visit there next year... Gotta see the new exciting rides, I'm bored with stale old decrepit and cobweb infested WDW...

FOF has to be past the point of no return no?

I've got to think this as well. I mean, they've already modified the storage to fit the floats and they are building -- or have already built -- the floats. Too much money sunk to not run it out at some point.

Now, could they delay the parade for the sake of saving money, maybe go without a daytime parade for a few months? Sure. But I've got to think we'll see FOF make its debut sometime in 2014

Long run? Yes. But I wouldn't be surprised if Disney took its sweet time with this (more so than usual) and FotLK. Neither have announced opening dates. Then there's the possibility of reusing their post-9/11 antics to save money.

Not quite but he is the best at having sleeper accounts here

The formula is so tried and true here... I'm amazed they don't get squashed sooner. Someone did their homework a ways back.. but this forum has more zombies then I've EVER seen.

For those reading along.. here's a hint.. if someone just joins or comes out of hibernation and averages 10-20 posts a day in a 'hot' topic - you might just be a zombie!

In all fairness...Micechat never said FOF was on hold. That was absurd to begin with. If those floats arent ready yet, theres a big problem.
True, but MC did say that all projects except TDR and SDR were on hold/Canned/ halted/whatever, so I just assumed that current projects were a part of that which means Mine train, FOF, MSEP(still a rumor I know). If i acted too quickly about FOF, I'm sorry.
