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

I am absolutely wondering if this is one of those fake news kind of threads..We spent Thanksgiving at WDW, and I swear I was in Tomorrowland a half a dozen times , rode space at least 4 times during that week, did COP and People Mover too ...I just have no recollection of seeing cabanas in that area. How did I miss the eyesore?
Went during Christmas. While I saw them there, I wouldn't call them noticeable by any means, and wouldn't blame any one for not recognizing what they were.
I was there the last week of November and 1st week of December. This thread was going pretty strong then and I posted that in 3 days I didn't notice them..

Someone on this thread had to say where they were and I then purposely looked for them. Lol

They are real.

By the way, I'm not questioning that you didn't notice them. I'm fully aware that lots of guests are focusing on other things or are too busy getting to their next FP to see them. I hope you had a great trip and I'm glad that you didn't have to see them!

This post made me very happy to read. I'm glad that you now accept that not everyone is noticing them :)

a maintenance area for something that has to be fixed
So Disney is charging their guests apxx $500-700 per day to relax and unwind in what you yourself just described as "a maintenance area for something that has to be fixed"...

Yet you mock those that think the cabanas are ridiculous.

No, I mocked the idea that they are so obvious that they are unmissable.

You see, the problem with some people on these forums is that if they don't like something, they feel the need to go way overboard in criticizing the thing they don't like. Rather than saying saying the cabanas are overpriced and unattractive and leaving it at that, they need to make Disney into a greedy monster and the cabanas are an unavoidable blight. The fact is that there has always been overpriced upcharges aimed at the 10% or 1% (the VIP Tours, the monorail resorts) and that, for some, the cabanas are completely missable in the corner of the park surrounded by the hedges-on-wheels.

So when someone says, "I was there and I didn't see them," well, that person is now an enemy of everything that is right and true and has to be attacked for being an unobservant moron or a lifestyling pixie duster.

For the record: I think the cabanas are overpriced for me... I'd never pay that fee. And I think they're not that good looking. And I believe the people who say they went through Tomorrowland and didn't notice them.

Doesn't mean they don't stick out like a sore thumb...

Also, are you insinuating that I am accepting defeat or some nonsense? I still think it's incredibly surprising that some people manage to not notice them. I guess if you haven't visited in a long time and are rushing from FP to FP then maybe... but someone who is aware of them and manages to somehow never notice them is just impressive.

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.

Maybe just maybe they were enjoying their holiday and not looking out for these "sore thumbs" .

So apparently the MK cabanas are going away on Feb 17th.


I know...shocking isn't it ;)

They may be going away in their present form and price. There is no guarantee that Disney didn't use these as a test balloon to see how people would react to the look, the price and the amenities provided. They could come back with a more appropriate looking cabana, slightly lower price and a portable A/C unit to make them usable in the summer months. The families that have the money to stay at the Deluxe resorts or the Four Seasons and book the VIP tours would drop $500-$600 for the comfort.

Impressive? Or are they just lying? I do not believe for one moment that a person who was actively participating in this thread just a few days prior to their trip did not see them or purposely seek them out within a few minutes of entering Tomorrowland just to satisfy the minds curiosity.

What I do not understand is this push for "customized and personalized" vacations? They need to go back to the basics

The push is because of our society. We have become interested in personalization, in uniqueness, in convenience.

We want things now, and we want them tailored to our specific preferences.

Pretty much every industry has made a push towards "customization and personalization"...because of their markets.
