Just a little side thing here..But, During the mid 2000's Six Flags had try to run the gamut of the Host in the park doing rides for the Six Flags TV network..Their claim to fame was Kit Hoover..As you can see in some of these she's trying to do the same kind of vibe of the MDD's...But, on a budget...

It really shows how disconnected the current management is. A Stacey comeback or someone new with the same style of fun and humor are sorely needed.

One of the things that Disney did so well, was the intangibles. Things like this, as a standalone, don't really mean all that much. But combined with all the other intangible things, it separates Disney. At least for the more frequent visitors, it was part of that Disney ambiance that made it feel, I'm at Disney. Just like so many other things that are now gone from the parks.

It all points to a bigger issue with Disney. And that is management just doesn't care. They see a show element or a background detail as unimportant. If it's gone no one will notice, so why spend the money. But I really do believe it's just like not knowing what ingredient makes something taste great. But when you start taking things away, you notice. You might not be able to say why exactly, but you know something is different.

For me the removal of must do Disney is like the removal of the annual DVD vacation videos.
These were special things that really MADE WDW different for us.

We vacation to other places, beaches, parks, countries.
Those simple two WDW items meant that we were in for something special, again.

We have been going for decades.
I get things change. However, for a very long time WDW was always against the corporate grain for spending only for profit.

It will be interesting to see what comes down the road for visitor numbers.

What's up with that aqua bed? Someone at Six flags must have had a nephew that was selling those things.
