Raven, what is it going to be turned into?You are correct.

So true.
I actually hate that Walt quote. It can be used to argue nearly any point. Walt wouldn't like thrill rides. Walt wouldn't like kiddie rides. The quote is so open to interpretation, it is almost meaningless.
I find when most people start complaining about something not being for "everybody" they are usually complaining because it's not for them.
I have seen people on this forum complain that Princesses are not for everybody and cannot be enjoyed by everyone in the same family... and then they say, "Teens need more thrill rides!!!"![]()

I will say that that there does seem to be a good deal of "hedging his bets" in the Jim Hill article. Too often sources are rumors or ideas found I forums like these, and then are used by the Jim Hills, Al Lutzs or Kevin Yees of the Disney chat world.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of his bias either. But I've also seen articles on there whose central concepts are mirror images of those found here (and don't get me started on Kevin Yee). Makes me thankful for the unbiased work Steve and the other mods do here.
If you ever listen to Jim Hill (writings or podcast), you will learn that he hates you. I'm not kidding, he openly detests other Disneyphiles. This is because his sources (the ones at WDI that use him as a tool) detest the hardcore Disney fanbase and feel that its standards are too high. I happen to disagree with this premise and therefore believe that his motives are completely at odds with my motives. He doesn't like me (and other Disneyphiles) and I don't like him.
I don't think you understand.
If you complain about everything thing, then nothing gets heard.
That includes every compliment being followed by, "You can do better though".
I don't think they hate you. I think they don't care about you.
Also, prove to me those panels were there in the early 80s.
Is there anything that anybody owns that could rival Potter strictly as a franchise? I've thrown this out in other threads, but the only "giant" left out there is Lord of the Rings.
Which, by the way, would be fan-darn-tastic.
Blatant exposure of the backstage area can be seen from the Lights, Motors, Action! show at DHS. If you're sitting on either side, you can look all around and see support buildings, vehicles, and characters who don't "belong together" riding in the same golf cart.
Big deal.

I don't think we have to speak as one, but I do think it would benefit us all to be mindful of what and how we are posting.The problem is, we don't all speak as one.

I gotta agree here. Seriously, the original point of "too high fan standards" could be argued with other examples (maybe). But you spend all that money upgrading and improving an attraction, and it is too much BOTHER to make sure a couple of ceiling panels are in place? That says volumes to me. Get with the program. Details make the difference.
Do you think any other projects will take place in the near future after FLE is done, or are we going to have to wait another 14 years for another major addition to the parks?M&G's will be turned into....M&G's!!! :lol:
Sure, because they were looking for fault.
Are you still going to WDW?Frankly, I'm far more concerned that SGE sucks, New Management Tiki Room sucks, Eric Idle JIYI sucks, the Magic Carpets don't fit thematically with Adventureland, they replaced 20k Leagues with a playground (no more imaginative than the one in my housing development), the Yeti never works, and that peeling paint is left to sit for weeks before it's addressed.

Why are you supporting a company that you have so many issues with?Occasionally, but not nearly as much as I used to. I used to go once or twice a year for a week at a time. Now I go once every two or three years and stay 4 days.

I would think the most effective thing to do would be to cancel your reservation and write a letter to guest services explaining your dissatisfaction with the product.
You are refusing to exercise your right as a consumer.Because there are a lot of things about the parks I still enjoy. Sadly, almost none of it is new (post 1994).
Like anyone would care. I'm not a soccer mom with a 4 year old girl; my opinion is irrelevant to Disney executives.
