Thanks for the update! Great all around. :wave:

Not saying that I am a cast member... But I do believe in the Disney magic, I still get magical feelings every time I see Cinderella Castle, and I go to the parks simply to find first time visitors and watch the magic and pixie dust unfold in front of their eyes. I feel nothing but pity for the ones who have nothing better to do but come to the parks every day just to look for something new to complain about... There have always been things to complain about, since the park opened in 1971, but people have always been able to look past them. Now, thanks to the magic of the internet, self-aggrandizing demagogues with a pinchant for wanting attention can post their pictures and force their loss of pixie dust onto everyone else.NemoRocks said:Wow, you're the "nice CM" who's supposed to bring the magic to millions of guests?
Follow the crowd? I can sure as hell see how badly things are run through my own eyes, thank you very much.
Patently false, as discussed above... In fact, look above and you will see a few people agreeing with me, but since it is easier on the internet to be negative than postive (Negative gathers all the attention, seems to be the goal here), you will find more negative responses, but you know what? The general feeling around WDW is positive, despite what you try to pass off as "NEWS"It's not me losing the magic, it's Disney, and there are quite a few folks out there who would agree.
Doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing... Transporting guests to their cars, then returning to the TTC when safely possibleThen where the hell are these trams?
In the lot, waiting for the guest who boarded with a open stroller to fold it once again before driving... Or assisting a guest who needs help exiting the tram to safely move to their car, or.... caught behind another tram who is doing those thingsSure there may be some things slowing down loading, but when that tram is finally loaded and ready to go, where is the tram that should be ready to board right behind it?
SSE doesn't even have a line at 2pm, I know that. HM usually never has a line after 6-7pm, I know that as well. And I certainly know that SGE doesn't have the big waits it's supposed to. Not even running FP and still having that small of a wait for a near two-year-old attraction is just sad, AE was having longer waits this far into its run. That photo was taken at 8:45pm, two hours before park closing and it's happening while Space's line is out the door and Buzz is running with a 1/2 hour wait. I have seen it with barely a line much earlier in the day as well.
I'm not "following" anyone....I'M JUST REPORTING WHAT I SAW. Is that such a crime?
I went to Universal Orlando yesterday and found the complete opposite. I was greeted by security with a "Hello, have a nice day." Employees were friendly as always and even chatted with me at the end of a few lines (plus they all look like they're having a good time running the rides like at ROTM and Jaws). I didn't have to wait 20 minutes for a tram and it didn't take an hour to get into the park I desired to visit.
Being a single rider, the SRL came in handy at a lot of attractions (of course it's something WDW has at only TWO attractions).
Ever think about what you may be doing to cause this behavior, maybe acting suspicious, maybe jaunting right in thinking you own the place? Have respect for the cast members, it makes it that much more easier to respect you... Treat them as human beings and you will see a much more pleasant demeanor. I am not excusing their behavior, its not appropriate to act that way... but I find it coincidence that it all seems to be happening to you.Those few hours I spent were extremely enjoyable after the crap I've put up with at WDW over the past few weeks. I've had a security guard yell at me for just trying to get to a turnstile because I didn't have a bag at Epcot, I've had a woman follow me after taking a photo of a wait times board,
True... and you know what was at fault for that? Rumor mongering internet fanboys who were telling everyone that Johnny Depp was going to be there. Instead of having large groups of people wait a long time to be disappointed, thus increasing their disappointment. The yelling comes for the sheer number of people who were there. Her remarks were in response to all the people who were yelling at her that they were SURE that Depp was going to be there, not trusting the people who are running the place to know whats going on. Its a common thing, that should be dispelled, people who post things on the internet DO NOT know more than Cast Members in certain areas (and if you knew who SHE was, NO ONE should have questioned her)I've had to see a manager at MK pretty much yell at folks who were waiting for something to happen for the Pirates re-opening (telling them that she could care less if they waited, that they could stand there all day long and she "suggested" they go on the ride itself),
I've been going to WDW nearly every month for 18 years and I'm absolutely tired of putting up with the ____ anymore.

Being a single rider, the SRL came in handy at a lot of attractions (of course it's something WDW has at only TWO attractions). Queues and walkways in general were kept quite clean, unlike the PhilarMagic queue and theater I encountered the night before (we were delayed getting into the theater by about 5-6 minutes because there was so much trash in the theater to be cleaned up). Those few hours I spent were extremely enjoyable after the crap I've put up with at WDW over the past few weeks.

There you go with that attention ________ again.Now, thanks to the magic of the internet, self-aggrandizing demagogues with a pinchant for wanting attention can post their pictures and force their loss of pixie dust onto everyone else.
Then there aren't enough out there. Tell me, how many total trams can they run at once?Doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing... Transporting guests to their cars, then returning to the TTC when safely possible
And seriously, how often does that actually happen? I've never been in a tram that has stopped because someone didn't fold a stroller (the CM usually has them take care of that BEFORE they leave) or took longer to leave a stop because a CM had to help a guest out.In the lot, waiting for the guest who boarded with a open stroller to fold it once again before driving... Or assisting a guest who needs help exiting the tram to safely move to their car, or.... caught behind another tram who is doing those things
I never ONCE mentioned that I hated SGE and I think it needed to close in that pictorial. Not once. Again, I was reporting what I saw. If it had a long wait, I would've taken a picture of that and said "Wow, SGE has a pretty long wait today."And you saw exactly what you wanted to see, what you set out to see, and, instead of shifting your paradigm, you instead fit the facts into your own opinions
I could take an audio/video recorder and listen to the comments of people coming out of there, but hey, that's another thing for another thread, not here.I can take that same camera and capture smiling faces coming out of Stitch
More than half of the way is moving walkways, and I can sure as hell make it to one of the parks faster than I could make it to MK taking a tram by just walking. Not only that but walking through CityWalk is nice, you can stop and make dining reservations, you can check movie times if you want to see a movie, and you can stop and browse through store.That's right, you didn't have to wait for a tram, you had to walk the mile and a half to the parks, how is that better? I personally find visiting UO (I am an AP there) to be a huge pain because of all the walking it takes to get to the parks I want to go to... Thats not a benefit
Families aren't the only people going to those parks.Walt Disney - "We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together." 'nuff said
Why don't they clean quickly throughout the day though? The queue could've been cleaned at any time (once you get into the evening this thing never has a wait) but it wasn't. I've never seen a queue as dirty as that one.Two choices, spend 5 minutes cleaning the theater from the last rowdy crowd, and listen to the ones who are never happy complain a little bit, or let people into the attraction when its dirty and listen to people who love to complain complain a lot.... You are getting further from your point here, going so far as shooting yourself in the foot
1. I was waiting to get to the turnstiles behind folks who had to have their bags checked. Usually I'll take the 'Guests Without Bags' line but it wasn't running today (it's not used all the time, I've come a lot of times when it isn't). It got to the point where no one was waiting to go through the turnstile and I was standing behind one family who was trying to get their tickets out of their bag before having it checked. When this happens I just go around the people and to the turnstile. However, this was a big family, and their two strollers and all of them together were blocking the way. No one was behind me to get in either, so I just went around the chain and hopped over it so I could get through the turnstile quickly and into the park. Once I was on the other side, the security guard shoots me a 'mean look' and yells, "What do you think you're doing? Don't you DARE ever do that again. Get to the back of the line!" I say, "sir, I don't have a bag, there's no one going through, and I'd like to get into the park," (I could've yelled back, cursed, etc. but I didn't, just asked calmly) but he replies with "I don't care, get to the back of the line, you're gonna wait to go through." I just walked off and went through another turnstile. The way he treated the situation was not good at all, I mean, it's not like I was trying to hop the rail into the park....Ever think about what you may be doing to cause this behavior, maybe acting suspicious, maybe jaunting right in thinking you own the place? Have respect for the cast members, it makes it that much more easier to respect you... Treat them as human beings and you will see a much more pleasant demeanor.

I don't care who she is, she shouldn't be yelling at people. She could've handled the situation a hell of a lot better (and as I've said before in other threads, I think it's a damn shame that WDW couldn't have even held a little something for the re-opening in front of the guests....it would've made those people a bit happier to see something, even if it had been just a ribbon-cutting ceremony with a little show).True... and you know what was at fault for that? Rumor mongering internet fanboys who were telling everyone that Johnny Depp was going to be there. Instead of having large groups of people wait a long time to be disappointed, thus increasing their disappointment. The yelling comes for the sheer number of people who were there.

You don't even know me....I don't go looking for "wrongness," I see it and I encounter it. Period.I think it has just been tarnished by so many days spent searching for wrongness.
I've been on that thing three times, show me where that stuff is.mousermerf said:I don't get how you can put big blinders up for Uni but not for WDW...They opened the Suess ride with areas unpainted, scenery with holes in it, and a few structures they modified really needing some spackle and paint. That's not pretty.
What hasn't been working in Spider-Man? I know some things aren't going in MIB, but it's seriously no different than what happens with the stuff at Splash.Or how about several of the animatronics in Spiderman and MIB?
Falling apart? All I could see is that they needed some paint, that's it. And if we're on the subject of Curious George, then take a look at some of the parts of Toontown Fair as they need some help too.And have you seen the Curious George play area? Or heck.. the MIB towers before they painted them, they were literally falling apart. Things can get bad at WDW, but i've rarely seen them that bad.
I don't see too often anymore, but I do see it in a lot of Universal employees. Hell, I was waiting in line the other day to get into Soundstage 21 for the TNA iMPACT! television tapings, and it started to rain....there was a woman wheeling herself around in a wheelchair, just across the way near Twister, and I saw an employee run up to her and help get her under cover at the Aftermath shop. That's what I call helpful.polarboi said:And never outside of WDW have I encountered so many friendly, helpful employees willing to go far out of their way to help customers.
I've gone a lot for these 18 years because I ENJOYED IT. Things there are just too messed up for me to do that anymore.DisneyJill said:Did someone hold a gun to your head forcing you to go every month for 18 years? No? Didn't think so. Don't go then, if all you're going to do is complain! They'll find someone else to sell a ticket and food and souvenirs to. It's all in the eyes of the beholder, so keep in mind that just because your view is somewhat skewed right now, other people's are not and they are entitled to their opinion as well.
There, fixed that for you... And the answer to your question is... I genuinely don't know, I don't let little things like 10 minute waits get in the way of me enjoying the park. I would want to say around 5 or 6, depending on how many lots are full, but I could be completely wrong.NemoRocks said:In my uninformed, biased, and completely oblivious opinion there aren't enough out there. Tell me, how many total trams can they run at once?
An unscheduled stop for the tram is a semi-regular occurance... For any number of safety reasons.And seriously, how often does that actually happen? I've never been in a tram that has stopped because someone didn't fold a stroller (the CM usually has them take care of that BEFORE they leave) or took longer to leave a stop because a CM had to help a guest out.
That's right, instead you let your own biases dictate the photos and caption you use. You have mentioned before your distaste for Stitch's Great Escape, you let that distaste color your comments... And you don't even seem to realize that if you are REPORTING, saying anything other than "Stitch had a 35 minute wait today around 11 am, but attendance dropped down to about 10 minute waits after 3 pm" (the 35 minute wait at 11 am is true for today, by the way) you are trying to push your bias onto folks.I never ONCE mentioned that I hated SGE and I think it needed to close in that pictorial. Not once. Again, I was reporting what I saw. If it had a long wait, I would've taken a picture of that and said "Wow, SGE has a pretty long wait today."
Sure thing, go for it, but instead.. let's just ask people as they get out of the ride at random times what they thought of the attraction, wouldn't that provide better results? Of course, I won't waste my time because Disney pays people to do that anyway, and a majority of the responses (I won't say all, not as positive as Splash, but a higher percentage than say, Carousel of Progress) are postive... So get your recorder, I have facts on my side.I could take an audio/video recorder and listen to the comments of people coming out of there, but hey, that's another thing for another thread, not here.
Hoo-Ray! Instead of sitting down in preparation for a good long day of walking (which is one of my primary reasons for going to the parks nowadays, I don't ride rides, I watch for magical situations and try to maintain my girlish figure ; I get to stand on a succession of moving walkways, and then be forced to walk through a louder, more obnoxious version of Downtown Disney to WALK more, without the benefit of moving walkways, to the park of my choice. And don't forget being accosted on the way there by people trying to get me to sign up for a Universal Credit Card I don't need, but they have no qualms about jumping in front of me to try and sell me one. Dining reservations? Can do at City Hall, right inside the park, where the theming is better... Movie times? What movies play in the turn of the 20th century, though I am sure if I asked, City Hall could help me with that too. And browsing through shops? Isn't there enough of that at Disney for you?More than half of the way is moving walkways, and I can sure as hell make it to one of the parks faster than I could make it to MK taking a tram by just walking. Not only that but walking through CityWalk is nice, you can stop and make dining reservations, you can check movie times if you want to see a movie, and you can stop and browse through store.
Correct... But it is intended for families to be able to ride together... The joy that it can bring to groups of one is amazing, but secondary.Families aren't the only people going to those parks.
Ignoring the fact that a 5-10 minute cleaning can be considered quickly, I have never seen, anywhere, as many custodial hosts and hostesses than what I see at Disney parks... They have a big job to do, it IS the busiest theme park in the world, and you better believe that they clean throughout the day. If you think the queue is dirty, tell someone, preferably someone with a radio, one quick call and custodial comes along to take care of it.Why don't they clean quickly throughout the day though? The queue could've been cleaned at any time (once you get into the evening this thing never has a wait) but it wasn't. I've never seen a queue as dirty as that one.
Boy, there are three sides to every story, your side, their side, and the truth... That's really all I think I need to say about that. Perception is easy to skew, and for some, perception dictates reality1. I was waiting to get to the turnstiles behind folks who had to have their bags checked. Usually I'll take the 'Guests Without Bags' line but it wasn't running today (it's not used all the time, I've come a lot of times when it isn't).

I just walked off and went through another turnstile. The way he treated the situation was not good at all, I mean, it's not like I was trying to hop the rail into the park....
Boy, that does sounds like suspicious behavior to me, did they approach you, stop you, or affect your journey in any way? You just described what some people may consider suspicious actions, even though it was after they started following you. Is taking pictures of the wait time board suspicious? It can be, but since you say you take these pictures with every pictorial, and it happened once, I think you are batting a pretty good average in the "Not getting followed" field. I personally enjoy the fact that CMs are looking out for suspicious behavior, makes me feel safer.2. I always feature wait times in my pictorials so I went to the Epcot times board to take photos. I wasn't "acting suspicious," I was just trying to take a few photos. As I'm doing it, the two CMs working the board just stare at me and started whispering to each other. I got my photos and walked off. Then, as I'm heading to Test Track, I could see one of the women following me! I cut into Mouse Gear and looked back and she was heading back to the board. Must I be considered a terrorist for taking a photo of a freakin' board?!?
There, fixed that one for you too... Why did Disney have to do anything? On what planet do you think Johnny Depp would want to fly out to WDW, when he possibly could have other things to do? Why should Disney do a ribbon-cutting ceremony, when the only reason they would be doing it is because a bunch of disatisfied internet fan-boys were setting themselves up for disappointment? No matter what Disney would have done, there would be folks (I have a feeling you would be one of them) who would say, "Oh, they should have done this." No they shouldn't have, because the ride was opening from a refurbishment... Nevermind... you would never understand the intricacies of the fine balance MK has to strike between safety, courtesy, show, and efficiency.I don't care who she is, she shouldn't be yelling at people. She could've handled the situation a hell of a lot better (and as I've said before in other threads, Because I will never be satisfied with anything Disney does, no matter how cool,I think it's a damn shame that WDW couldn't have even held a little something for the re-opening in front of the guests....it would've made those people a bit happier to see something, even if it had been just a ribbon-cutting ceremony with a little show).
You don't even know me....I don't go looking for "wrongness," I see it and I encounter it, you recognize the ability to get attention from it, you put it all over the internet, you get a small sense of joy when zealots agree with you, and continue to bask in negativity. Period.

Seriously, I think at some point you really did enjoy Disney... No one starts a tradition of coming once a month for 18 years without geniunely enjoying it... You have lost it. Disney hasn't lost it, the pixie dust is still there to discover. Time...Time has stolen the pixie dust from you, as it has from anyone who sees the negative aspects of WDW as something "new." There was chipped paint and tired cast members 15 years ago, just as there are now. But 15 years ago you hadn't become disillusioned, because, as mentioned earlier, your many trips to WDW have caused you to become familiar with the parks... Familiarity and comprehension do NOT go hand in hand. You see things, like a dirty queue in Philharmagic, but you have no idea how the custodial staff works, so, you become disillusioned, thinking if you were to come an hour later, the queue would still be dirty (it wouldn't). Allow WDW a little bit of time to become less familiar, and allow yourself time to remember what is was like anticipating a trip to WDW, not, as it is now, a simple "well, I think I will pop over for a few pictures, to show everyone at home what the Stitch line is like."
In all sincerity, good luck, I want you to enjoy WDW again... But it is a decision that you will have to make

I just walked off and went through another turnstile. The way he treated the situation was not good at all, I mean, it's not like I was trying to hop the rail into the park....
Wow, I can only wonder how you handle things with upset guests at GR.In my uninformed, biased, and completely oblivious opinion
Because I will never be satisfied with anything Disney does, no matter how cool
you recognize the ability to get attention from it, you put it all over the internet, you get a small sense of joy when zealots agree with you, and continue to bask in negativity.
That's about the number I was thinking of, and it's still not enough.I would want to say around 5 or 6, depending on how many lots are full, but I could be completely wrong.
"SGE still runs without FP and can't even keep a 10 minute wait LOL."That's right, instead you let your own biases dictate the photos and caption you use. You have mentioned before your distaste for Stitch's Great Escape, you let that distaste color your comments...
You need theming to make a dining reservation?Dining reservations? Can do at City Hall, right inside the park, where the theming is better...
Hey, at least I can purchase more than a stuffed character and a t-shirt in their stores.And browsing through shops? Isn't there enough of that at Disney for you?
....and I'm sure if a family wanted to ride together, they would take the stand-by line. People who are riding alone or who would like to get through the line faster would like to take the SRL.But it is intended for families to be able to ride together... The joy that it can bring to groups of one is amazing, but secondary.
If Disney is so perfect then I shouldn't have to tell someone, they should have people going through there regularly and cleaning up. IIRC there are barely any trash cans in that place so I'm not too surprised.If you think the queue is dirty, tell someone, preferably someone with a radio, one quick call and custodial comes along to take care of it.
Since it happened to the guy who talks down about Disney the security folks must be right.Perception is easy to skew, and for some, perception dictates reality
Did I ever say Depp had to come? No. It would've been nice but I was expecting him not to from the beginning. Something, anything could've been done for the guests. Universal held a huge bash for Revenge of the Mummy (with the stars), and even had a good amount of stuff for something as small as the High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride, which has recieved near zero marketing outside of the park itself. And it may be opening just from a refurbishment, but they're certainly treating it like a new ride...."it's a small world" never got billboards.On what planet do you think Johnny Depp would want to fly out to WDW, when he possibly could have other things to do? Why should Disney do a ribbon-cutting ceremony, when the only reason they would be doing it is because a bunch of disatisfied internet fan-boys were setting themselves up for disappointment? No matter what Disney would have done, there would be folks (I have a feeling you would be one of them) who would say, "Oh, they should have done this." No they shouldn't have, because the ride was opening from a refurbishment... Nevermind... you would never understand the intricacies of the fine balance MK has to strike between safety, courtesy, show, and efficiency.
So they'll clean up a day's worth of trash an hour before park closing but they couldn't do it during the afternoon and evening?thinking if you were to come an hour later, the queue would still be dirty (it wouldn't).
"well, I think I will pop over for a few pictures, to show everyone at home what the Stitch line is like."
Of course I enjoyed it, I was a kid and loved the Magic Kingdom to death. As I got older, I still continued to enjoy it. I saw friendly CMs, clean walkways, attractions that were well maintained, and much more. I don't see that anymore, which is a damn shame.I think at some point you really did enjoy Disney... No one starts a tradition of coming once a month for 18 years without geniunely enjoying it....
As I already mentioned, there was NO ONE behind me. The family was taking way too long getting their tickets out, which they should've done either before coming to the security table or after they had gone through it. When the 'Guests Without Bags' line is not running, I'm always able to walk by the people waiting to have their bags checked without any problems since I rarely have a bag, but I was unable to because they were crowded around the whole area. The guard should not have reacted in the way he did, especially since the family was still there and they had small children.yodathefrog said:Not to mention all the people in that line that were ticked because they saw you do it.
Not a problem, thanks man.STR8FAN2005 said:I'm gonna step in here real quick and ask all parties to please get back on topic.
I didn't know about them changing the signs in the Adventureland/Frontierland tunnel. Thanks for the time and effort NemoRocks, and I hope WDW trips are more enjoyable for you in the future.
