Not our departure day, but the day when I am going to Orlando and NOT visiting Disney World!!😢 I knew this day was coming for a few years. I am a former Cast Member and my time working for The DIsney Company has been the highlight of MY LIFE! It was incredible! But in recent years thins have been going downhill. From price hikes to bad decisions for park overhauls to VERY BAD decisions for new additions to the parks. Animal Kingdom getting the Tropical Americas, replacing Dino Land USA. and The Magic Kingdom REPLACING The Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island for a CARS area! Yes a cartoon IP area with only 2 attractions and a few shops for food and merchandise. RoA and TSI have been opening day attractions. A ride on the Riverboat was a nice relaxing break from the hot pavement, standing in long lines', just a place where you know you could relax for a few minutes and take in the scenery of BTMR, TSI and the HM. it is because of these and many other RIDICULOUS decisions that I have finally decided that NOW is the time to say NO to going to Disney and Yes to Universal. My next trip is NOT going to include ANTYTHING Disney. Someone has got to start the ball rolling of saying NO to Disney and it might as well be me! I hope some of you who feel similar will start to say NO MORE DISNEY when you plan your trip to Orlando. There is sooo much to do other than the parks and the prices are much lower than the parks!
Thanks for listening and allowing me to vent my opinion!! If you feel differently and think Disney is a good value and experience for you, I'm happy for you and wish you well. But as for me, I have come to my breaking point. Goodbye Disney. 😢
Brave but you’ll still have a great time. Enjoy! (I’m sure you will)

Even with all the changes at Disney World, it is still tops on our list. Having said that though, were it not for Disney, we wouldn't be going to Orlando for ANY reason. I have a sister who lives on the SW Gulf Coast, and if she didn't live there I would not be going to Florida at all. Still, it does seem as if you are "done" with Disney World. There are other places that offer new adventures and excitement.

Comical…..as I repeat and plagiarise the most common digs pertaining to Disney, I still drop in my past as a CM ……

CMs see it as taboo to mention their past in posts/conversations…..

But hey…I did comment…. Attention was gained…

Hopefully you’ll post a forwarding link as to where to find you in the future…we’ll miss you

Whai’s the saying? “This isn’t the airport. You don’t have to announce your departure.”
Relax guys. It's a discussion forum. Not everything is going to be a spoonful of sugar when it comes to WDW. Let this person spend their hard-earned vacation dollars where they choose.

I wholeheartedly agree. No one should spend money on a vacation they don’t enjoy.
And it is no (or at least shouldn't be) any insult to us or our loved ones if they want to vent their frustrations as to why they're spending elsewhere. Open discussions. Take the positive with the negative. Disney isn't a deity, and our fandom isn't a cult (or at least shouldn't be).

Epic Universe will be...well, EPIC! And personally, I think Disney is in trouble and will lose in attendance! But the bright side of Universal taking guests from Disney, is that Disney parks should not be too busy...so it may be a good time for you to go to Disney...maybe Disney should lower their prices TEMPORARILY? lol That won't happen because Disney is too greedy!!!

I doubt it. Even with Epic opening, WDW will still have crowds

I don’t think Disney is a deity nor do I belong to any kind of cult.

I was just responding to someone else’s post with a saying I heard.

After I was issued the restraining order for that shopping mall, and ordered by police to NEVER dance publicly like that... I was also ordered to remove said YouTube channel and not mention it again.

It wouldn’t happen to be this video would it?

if it is I hate to tell you this but it’s been reuploaded and it’s got 10 billion views and there’s only 7 billion people on the planet!
