Now that we have griped... Wasn't 30 minutes cut from this presentation??? any possibility a light bulb went off in managements' heads and they cut new WDW announcements to instead make them on october 1st, the 40th anniversary of WDW???
This is exactly my problem with presentations like today. When they're a failure, Disney fans start making excuses for how Disney is actually really great and we are all overreacting.
Ummm...No. Disney messed up, and, as paying and extremely loyal customers (maybe too loyal), we have the right to have certain high expectations. With the rising cost of travel, and the rise of the costs of the actual tickets required for entrance, we expect to have new experiences that make us excited about how disney world is always changing.
I certainly support the new fantasyland expansion, and it looks fantastic. However, I can't help but wonder why the Magic Kingdom, the world's most popular theme park and arguably the fullest (Attraction-wise) in florida, is receiving such a major upgrade when every other park could use that money. I know people will argue that it's wonderful that the Magic Kingdom is getting a facelift, and I agree, but, Disney should fill in the missing pieces before building new experiences they'll just have to maintain later.
If you keep adding, you can't maintain what you already have.
(Now I've gone off on another tangent) My original point, and why I quoted your comment, is that I fear that if we always put so much emphasis on these new presentations, we'll be disappointed. I think it's okay to accept that disney world is not seeing a lot of love until the end of this decade, when they'll be prepping the 50th anniversary.
Let me be clear: when I say adding, I mean expansions, not new attractions within the park that take the place of old ones.
