LETS FIX WDW

[POLY LOVER]

so the threads are full of the folks that feel the place has changed, there are things lacking, stuff needs to be done etc. to bring it back, so lets make one big list that we would like to see done at WDW. Just post single changes that are needed to bring our WDW back to its hayday. No long posts, try to keep it short and sweet. Positive changes only.

Open shuttered attractions (ie. WoL). Simply put, it's bad show, reduces capacity and generally affects value for the consumer.

Epcot...That is alll...

 

[Chef Mickey]

I'll summarize:

1) Disney has the money.
2) Disney has the talent.
3) Disney has record crowds.
4) Disney has little incentive to do things quickly.
5) EPCOT is to the point it almost needs to be completely closed and redone.
6) Disney has some projects in place, good news.
7) Bottom line, Disney needs to address 15+ yr old attractions and address the crowds through higher ticket prices and/or massive expansion.

I'll go even broader and say use any/all unused buildings.

Bring back the skyway from Fantasyland into Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom.

Goodbye Tomorrowland Speedway.

Hello Mickeyland.

One does not simply fix magic.

Hire and train enough full time employees with a living wage and benefits in both the resorts and parks operations / maintenance departments to bring them back to what used to be the Disney standard of cleanliness and quality. Part-time, poorly trained employees have no vested interest in providing outstanding service.

That will help keep the ticket prices down. Paying someone $40k a year to push a broom.

Open closed attractions and unused places.
Look for innovative new ideas and not overlays
Do not make a vacation laborious and tedious by the need to plan every stitch of minutiae ahead of time
Get rid of free dining offers (GASP) and bring back cuisine at sit downs
Give reduced rates for special events for those who already paid full entry price for a day in the park
Pack the parks based on value for the dollar instead of handing out discounts.
Fix FastPass so that the FP lines are not equally as long as the stand-by lines
Turn the fountains back on

Sorry to say but do these things and I would actually return AND gladly pay more to do so....yes, you read that correctly!

Oh for the love of all that is holy, will you PLEASE give your endless "Let's raise the prices!!" campaign a freaking rest. We get it. You are well off. Money is no object. You want the prices sky high so that only you and your financially elite comrades can enjoy the park and the rest of us scum can just play in traffic instead. But the whole thing got incredibly tiresome about the 250th time you advocated for this. Enough already. Sheesh.

I would have the RFID bracelet thingies keep track of whenever you enter the bathroom. After a certain number of entries in a day (3 if you're off property, 5 if you're on) you would be unable to flush, thus conserving water. Now, you may be entering a bathroom from time to time without using a potty, so there would be cameras scattered about recording. Since your RFID chip would record the time you entered the bathroom (say those tucked away behind Pirates of the Caribbean) you could call one of the bathroom monitors and say, "I know I'm at my potty usage limit, but if you watch the recording of my 9:53 AM entry into bathroom such and such you will see that I did not do any flushing of significance. I'm the guy in the blue blazer and the festive holiday tie." They could then credit your potty usage account with a credit re-enabling you to flush. Simple really. It would fix the parks by conserving water, forcing people to think before engaging in biological functions, and create shorter lines making "tinkle time" a more efficient experience for all.

If I had it, I would pay someone 40K to ban you again BuzzKillington.

I wish they'd bring back some of the more unique shops along Main Street USA. There used to be more variety years ago.

Re: George's post on restroom policy

What, are you the president of Urinetown? That would not work for me. I have to go every half hour to an hour. Even during my two-three hour visits, I couldn't hold it that long.

Epcot...That is alll...

What's wrong with Epcot? That's my favorite place on Earth, and the theme park I go to more often than any of the other Disney parks, Universal parks, or Sea World each year. (I know, I go through my Theme Park Journal every New Year's Eve and take score.) There are things I would change, mind you, like France needs an updated film, but not the whole park.
