I'm not sure why I would bother, but this incident is being blown out of proportion by the usual group of haters and whiners. Of course, that's to be expected, but let's attempt to at least be somewhat accurate with your rants.
Haters and whiners? Another piece of work here ... someone thinks/knows WDW management is doing a ________ poor job of something as simple at scheduling and communicating with the public and that makes them 'haters and whiners' ... God, my trip can't come soon enough so I won't be tempted to read this drivel.
The ACCURATE FACTS are that WDW has never put out July 4th schedules so late ... and so inaccurate (the most recent press release still has MK open from 9-11 on 7/4, not the correct 8-1 and shows Spectro performing once and not twice) ... this is beyond laughable.
Yet, please let's defend da man ... that's become very en vogue in this country since 2001.
Disney released the schedule as normal. It was a reduced schedule. I believe that is to be expected give the media hyped recession.
No. They didn't. Normal schedules have been coming out as much as six months in advance.
And you're right, the media is hyping recession when the reality is a lot closer to depression in many areas. But let's blame the media, or what's left of it, for everything including WDW's scheduling and guest (lack of) communication.
However, they decided to ADD back to the schedule to give more to the guests. I'm sure that was done to tick all those guests off. How dare they! I can't believe they had the gall to do additional fireworks.
I really hope everyone at the parks during that time stops by guest relations and let them know how upset you are that Disney added to the planned entertainment. :brick:
You know, I don't want to dare call anyone dimwitted ... but I can't get why it is that some folks can't grasp the simplest concepts here. It isn't about getting something added. It's about putting out a phony schedule deliberately. It's allowing guests to make plans, including the all-important (unless you want to drop $50 on burgers that are barely edible at a QS locale) dining reservations based on a schedule that isn't accurate and to knowingly do so. It's about the fact that even when the info finally was released it wasn't even accurate.
On May 25 I printed out a 10-day schedule beginning July 3rd to plan my trip and it's covered in red marks now because so much of it was inaccurate.
That's something that Busch and Uni wouldn't pull. ... Of course they don't have such a fervent group of pixie dusted apologists who will defend anything/everything the Mouse does.
Thankfully I'm bringing my white Henessy with me to the room hehehe
