i have sympathy for those people! not that it changes anything... but that sucks when you can only make it to wdw once every some odd years and your favorite attraction happens to be down during then! yes, it needs to be done, and no matter what its going to be happening during someones vacation, but it still sucks and i still feel sorry for those people! my trip happens to be during this refurb but luckily it opens before i leave, but you can bet if it was going to be closed, i was not going to be very happy about it. would i still have a great trip? of course, but that would really bum me out. and this vacation was planned over a year ago, so less than 100 days before i leave they announce this and im supposed to reschedule my trip? not very likely. people have a right to be dissappointed.
