She and every other sane person. From the girls in princess dresses to the most worldy critic. Although I guess it hurts Disney even more when even the eight year old girl thinks it - because then what on earth has been the point?
When I can't interest her in it...they have issues. These attractions don't attract adults (who aren't Disnuts)...and they don't attract kids (who are)...what are they left with?
Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm just now reading this. Where do you get that Ricky insists on being invited to events or insists on being treated as special? Do you have an example. Just curious.
Does he actually feel that he doesn't get his dollars worth at WDW? Does he feel that the parks are stale? Does he care only about headliner attractions? Why do you assume he feels this way. Perhaps he doesn't.
I think there is some misinformation about the blog meet up. The people who were invited to the event were not bloggers with their own sites, although some happened to be. In order to go to this event,you had to request an invite by submitting your info once the Disney Parks Blog people said to contact them. Then, some of those people made it on the list. Anyone could have gone. You just had to sit at a computer or device and wait for the exact moment you were asked to submit the request. There are a ton of people who constantly check the site so they can try to get in the second it becomes available. This party was not exclusive to bloggers.
Anyone could go.
Speaking of this, have you googled Shawn Bonneau from Walt Cast?
The parks blog posted earlier in the day to be on the lookout for a post to sign up. So yes, many of the same people, including myself, kept checking to try to get in. I did not get on my own but was invited as a guest. A lot of us are friends so if one doesn't get in, usually a friend will add us as a guest.
Speaking of high priced rooms, say the Poly, and the upcoming villas. Have you heard why they are scaling back on the DVC component at the Poly? Why are they building Grand Villas, that are smaller than the others, and studios only? I've been following Tikiman's posts on this.
So you really think Ricky could have THAT much influence on Disney? He doesn't work for the company. Why would they make changes based on what he thinks? Why should it be up to him to improve your overall Disney experience?
It's all about artificial marketing formulas these days. Big Picture thinking is discouraged.
Because Ricky could care less about how people define what type of reporter/blogger/or whatever category you put him in. This topic was brought to my attention by a friend so I thought I'd check it out. He doesn't need me to defend him, but of course I didn't like him being called a , so I didn't want to sit quiet.
Kids tend to be better at seeing the big picture rather than over-thinking adults with tunnel-vision who see the world they want to see and can't think in broad terms or anywhere outside of their own agenda and are too concerned with keeping up their social façade and think that anything can be explained by artificial formulas. They will tell you what they think without reservation and can often see through spin and manipulation .
But miss Ricky, this is exactly the issue that some here have objected too.
Honestly, nobody put me up to posting. A friend merely told me that Ricky was being called a and I wanted to see why. I don't even know who runs Celebration Place. I'm not saying I don't know or haven't met the people, I just forget who is on what site. But I do know that my friend who told me about the comment isn't on that site.
