From the minute a person enters the property to the minute they leave it should be up to a high standard. It’s all part of their trip whether inside or outside a gate. These signs aren’t a huge deal but the view of Guardians building is an inexcusable example.
Its the same in London with theatre prices they have become crazy. You can literally take a vacation for the price of an evening at a show.
Great explanation. When I was first introduced to Disney in the late 90s as a young adult, I was astounded by the details. It was the smallest details that caught my eye and Disney literally trained me to look for the small details. Now those details just aren't there. I've not been to Disney for over a decade now at first for my own personal reasons, and then because I didn't like the changes I was hearing about. I used to go every couple of years on a looong vacation, but like I said, I've decided not to give them my money. It wasn't just the increasing costs. It was that combined with a gradual decline in quality that I noticed back then. I'm still on this site and long to go back to the Disney I remember. That's why I'm still here, but that Disney is literally gone. I'm not around this site often, but I am occasionally to see if there's been an improvement. The diehards who complain might always find reasons to complain about something, but the noise level might not be so deafening if it wasn't such a high volume of poor quality being produced. Is everything garbage? No, but it's a way bigger proportion than it once was. If 25 years ago it was an 80%/20% ratio of good to bad, it seems now to be the opposite, and it's been a gradual descent. That's my opinion anyway. I don't ask anyone to agree with me and not go. They should go if they feel it's a good return on their investment. I just won't go until I feel they've turned a corner.
Upon rereading your comment, I see you actually made that perfectly clear. My apologies! I agree with you.
Isn't everything part of the show? It's all part of staying on property in the bubble. Why theme the parking lot if it's not important in their mind. Just call it Lot #1, Lot #2, etc. Just wondering. I don't feel strongly about this. The age-old argument... I just expect the effort to be better than something Six Flags would do.
agreed, money should have been sent to fund the trams first.
This can’t go on much longer? Want to bet?
But it also wouldn't take a genius to just wait to replace the signs until they have the new ones in place...
No.
Yes it is. And it's Disney's fault as a company for creating these high expectations on themselves. The word "detail" has been used for sooooooo many years as a marketing ploy as to why Disney is better than any other theme park destination on earth... Therefore... Every angle matters.
August was supposed to be my last trip. I complained about how awful the trip was that Disney gave me 8 free 2-day passes to the parks...
You can't have a sign that says "Moana" and a sign that says "Amaze" or whatever in the same lot at the same time. It confuses people. So you need to cover all of the "Amazes" with "Moana" until ALL of the "Moana" signs are built, delivered, and installed.
What's with the lack of self-respect from grown men on this board lately? Just yesterday somebody was bragging about how he uses his mom's Netflix account. "I'm so cheap that I'm going to inconvenience myself for two hours to save $25" is a weird flex, but okay.
Agreed. But hopefully when they do have all of the new parking signs installed, there won't be evidence of the new signs just stuck over the old. I think that's what's upsetting for me, that and not power washing the asphalt where the old names were. That wouldn't pass muster at my house if I had painters just try and paint the street address over the existing old address that was still viewable.
