I was too impatient to wait the full 9 months the first time :lol:
See, that's why I vacation in the off season.



I am DYING to see a picture, though.
I bet you can't wait for Christmas morning to open your gifts either :p

I better behave, you can ban me to the trolls...

I guess everyone waiting until the week after Christmas to go, I was there the week OF Christmas and it was surprisingly not bad. It did get crowded on the 26th.

Ya but there ways around it you come from other Disney Theme parks, also Premium Pass Holders can't get through so can Disney Cast members , and people work or stay Disney's Deluxe Resorts can get in. I know because I done that several times at Magic Kingdom.
Ya they had a Phase 4 when I was there on the Fourth of July, and People where still getting in.

Through mySpace I discovered that a friend is down there right now. Said he nearly got into a fight near the hub in front of the castle!

How can that be possible...thought we were in a Recession:shrug:
Things are looking better for 2009:)

Or, these trips had already been paid off for some time without refund. I don't think that we will see 'recession' in terms of amount of guests to hit the parks for a few months.

How are you people able to report what phase a park is in at any given moment? Where exactly is this phase info coming from? I am looking for serious non-cagey answers please. ;o)

^ The power of the cellphone and the tinter-web. There are many here in the parks who know people, are CMs themselves, or know who to ask about the given status - especially to post phased warnings for the general public. Kind of helping the mouse along. It isn`t common knowledge, but isn`t private either.

The recession will impact different people different ways. Some, who lose their employment will obviously be hit hard and have to curtail luxury expenses. Others may be hit by changes in their buying power, either through income reduction or cutbacks in paid overtime at whatever employment they do have or by higher cost of living [although consumer prices tend not to go up as much in a recession]. Some will only be affected by losses in market-driven savings, mutual funds, etc... and some will really see very little direct impact at all.

I have two Government-paid pensions and secure job within the Government, unless the Government of Canada goes bankrupt I'm likely to be relatively unaffected by a recession. If my Government goes broke, a trip to Disney will be the least of anyone's worries.

The economic problems in the US are going to have a negative effect on world-wide economies for at least the next few years, it won't be easy to turn around the unregulated behemoth it has become, but it will eventually recover. In the interim, it behooves those of us who aren't as badly hit to increase our charitable donations to assist the increasing numbers of less fortunate.

I wonder if there are a lot AP is expiring in Jan 2009 so they are getting their last Disney fix in for a while. There is really no cost going if the AP is already paid for as its a sunk cost. Might as well get the most out of it
