As a 49'ers fan, posting that photo of Owens in the Cowboy uniform has ruined my popcorn addiction. So I leave you with this:

I wish I could get some 21 day tickets for 500 bucks to use every year.....

You probably can, just order them from the UK Disney store. Pretty sure they come as e-tickets so you can collect them in the parks.

Even easier if you know someone in the UK.

To be honest, we get the worse end of the deal if you only want a couple of days tickets as opposed to 7/14/21 days unlimited. Many trips have I just wanted a 3 day ticket and end up buying it in the US.

You think this is a 'luxury experience'?

In your car analogy... Disney is charging BMW prices and delivering Hyundai product.

Disney is a PREMIUM product (and not a product sold on price alone..) not a Luxury product. Not even in areas where they are still doing well.. like DCL.

No 'luxury' hotel contains 2k-3k rooms or luxury experience includes being packed like sardines in public places

I can't place it, but I do hope that's a value resort.
If that counts a value depends on the rate.

If they are charging extortionate rates, then go elsewhere. Vote with your feet and they will soon either lower the prices or raise the standard. If people are prepared to pay top dollar for something available 2 miles down the road for a fraction of the price then more fool them.

Go over to the other side of the pond and you be surprised at what you may find over there.

Universal don't offer a 14 day pass here either, but you can get the Orlando FlexTicket (USF, IoA, Aquatica, SW and WnW).

14 days unlimited included part-to-park is $320 (£200).
You can buy this in the states for the same price, without looking too hard I can find it discounted to around $300. Busch can be added for a little extra too.

I don't know where you live, but you can get it here. It's not a flex ticket, it's a 7 day ticket and you used to get 7 days free. Don't believe me, whatever. Why bother replying.

No problem, but I was referring to the 14 days for less than the cost of 1 day.

I still do not think the DVC club group is the majority to take as principle and base for WDW "low prices".
DVC are not "everyday" customers. they are "high" levels or "hardcore".


Well, that one was a "deluxe" right? starting at 313 USD per night according to disney's site..



I wonder if all the members are active users or just "casuals".
I know some of us are kinda "harcore" watching it more than a single time per day, and posting daily too!


I would say the same about your group of hardcore Disney "fans". In the point I see it..there are 4 or more of you. 4 of who repeat the same similar mantra about Disney. (here at wdwmagic.com I mean)
Funny thing is, the special 4.. have a special interest into Disney that the others groups dont.

One is a DVC Owner (who would undervalued something they paid so much money on?)
Other is a Sales/Vendor travel agent based on Disney (who would insult the thing that feeds you?)
Jimmy and last one, both agreed on having Disney Stock.

Thus the opinions in general seems based on the value of what Disney gives them than the look and feel of a everyday Disney Customer.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy would care less if WDW exploded in flames in an erupting volcano..Of course; as long it still gave him Disney Stock value.

So forgive me to think this group's opinions are a bit skewed regarding what one group see and what the others see.

While I am not "gloom and doom" or "hater" or "basher" as your group loves to say all the time. I'm not blind by pixie dust.
I do get really disappointing, that some stuff that Your group could see it everyday.. I will not be able to ever see it or see it again due of "costs" or "executive cuts"(or whatever you call it).
As I do not have the luxury of travelling one, twice or thrice to the US and then to WDW. (outside the country).


I think the problem is, your group keeps calling the other group "irrelevant" or claiming their points are invalid this is when "ganging up" happens. Despite having proof in hand. (and as I said before.. the whole MY VIEW as a Elite Disney vs THEIR VIEW as normal Disney Fan) is really skewing things up.
This behaviour is pretty usual (the disregarding of what the other group has to say despite facts) in the losing groups in any conversation related to religion, brand loyalty or politics.



That is really a nice room!
looks way bigger than your default rooms you see at POR.

This is the cheapest prices I can find using our Discount system. (note, these are individual tickets not sold via packages..)
as I'm pretty sure they are cheaper when you book with dinning plan + hotel.



seems It always depends in the timings and luck to enjoy a trip 100%.
IT could be a problem in the room.... there could be a problem with your registration, there could be noisy neighbours... etc..etc..

You are entitled to your opinion, but my statement stands, that the *tenor* group has a nasty , bullying feel and has chased many people , wherever their view away from these threads. They have told me they just don't want to be bothers with the nasty tone/tenor anymore, That has been my point.

As to the folks you disagree with, never saw any one post a pro Disney poistion get upset until after they were attacked.

Please , your entitled to your view, you were kind enough to post is politely, I a hope my response is taken, and I thank you for that.

Yes it is one of the values, which was presented without being named as value, but the comment on top implied is was luxury.

And as usual, you feel the need to be the first to bring the tenor of disagreement and "bullying" into a conversation simply because there's some out there that don't share your opinions. Which in of itself, is its own form of of labeling and even bullying too. But I suppose that flip side is a tad inconvenient....

Oh yeah, I didn't see that the first time. Glanced over it without realising what the offer was.

Awesome deal.

Maybe Universal is trying the Disney approach to marketing. Trying to tie visitors in to just going to Universal and not bothering with Disney.

Well your entitled to your opinion, reading some of the past threat show how the *tenor group gang up when presented with a opposing view. If you notice the post I responded to the poster politely being up the subject of the 2 views. So no I was not the first.

I have my opinion, you have yours.
