Is this really a thing or is it April 1ST? Cabanas in the parks.

On the flip side though, the level of rhetoric you're leveling at folks that disagree is incongruous with the severity of this issue.

If a person(s) say they do not agree with or do not like the tents, but then excuse them with statements such as "but it doesnt affect me" or "i just move on and ignore it", then that is a reluctance to prevent the situation from getting worse simply to be able to keep the glass house of happiness from shattering around them. You can call it a malfunction or any term you choose, but in the end, its fear. This is why the company continues to regurgitate the same up charge offerings but each one with a shiny new package to conceal the feces within it. Disney management is essentially "smelling their own farts" and charging people to witness it. They seriously must be laughing in a board room somewhere.

Guess what? A lot of people like the upcharge options. Most,if not all, are sell outs. Options for all styles of travel is not a bad thing.

Some people can enjoy their vacation without having a meltdown because there are tents in the parks.

It might sound crazy to you, but after working hard all year, some people just want to enjoy a vacation and not nag and complain that theres a tent

Yeah...I'm out.

You can take that as a win or whatever, but if you really have these feeling regarding both other guest and a theme park, then you should probably take a step back from the forums and reflect on the emotional role a theme park is taking in your life.

People also pay S400 for a pair of jeans only to be able to display whatever ridiculous logo is bedazzled on the back pockets. Disney is aware of the vanity that infests the average person, they exploit it. Im not referring to events such as MVMCP or MNSSHP, but Anybody that walks out of a Disney dessert party and feels they received a good value after after paying $300 (for a family of 4 ) for finger snacks and juice, is kidding themselves.

Please show me evidence of these alleged "melt downs"? Or are you just applying false emotions on others to camouflage the lack of a proper rebuttal and improve your own opinion?

You are one doing a psychological diagnosis on people, claiming anyone who is indifferent to the tents are participating in "destructive obedience"

You're the one that's taking this too far, and I'm not giving you an audience anymore.

I don't understand the theory that if the tents are successful, Disney will build nicer permanent structures. If they are successful at renting crummy looking tents for $650 a day, why would they bother spending additional money on permanent structures? That would be a waste of money.

Those tents would be completely unbearable in the summer without AC. And Disney knows they're an eyesore. That's why they're surrounded with the go-away movable planters.

And more permanent lounges have already been tried and found to be successful in Epcot.

Yes. I'm sitting here at the overpriced GF, drinking my overpriced mimosa, watching my child go down a slide about 20 more times before we head to overpriced Epcot for an overpriced CP dining package, and overpriced snacks around the world. We'll probably also purchase some overpriced souvenirs. :)

This is what you fail so greatly at understanding. Different people have different things that are important to them. A person doesn't spend money just to spend it and most don't spend it to "show off". You weigh the monetary value to the emotional or convenience value. A tent at MK has no value to me. A cabana at GF during my most important football game of the season so far- lots of practical value. Paying too much for a room so my kid can watch the monorail go above him while at the pool- emotional value that justify the cost.

People spend their money on what they choose, for their own reasons. They don't have to be inline with your reasoning, or mine.

It's impressive that so many people fail to see the problem with some of these upcharge events lately. No one is saying that you don't have a right to spend your money on whatever you want to. That's fine, light it on fire for all I care. No one is saying that some of these things appeal to a group of people. Of course they do and will continue to do so. The issue is how they are being implemented. I don't care that this is obviously a test for a more permanent solution. They dropped cheap and ugly white tents in a themed land of the Magic Kingdom. If they dropped these right in front of 7DMT would you still be so passive about them? What about in the middle of liberty square? You can argue that they are in an unused area of the park but I will not accept that as a viable excuse because it effects the theming whether you notice it or not. It's a snowball effect that will continue to get worse.

It's not about the white tents in TL necessarily, it's about the dwindling care the company has for the parks.

What about obsessing about other people's obsessions?

Because the tents are chosen not because they want to be cheap... but because it's flexible and fast. Disney has proven time and time again.. they will do things to meet a timeline.. and then follow up with more formal structures. Be it security tents, screening, vending, etc.
