Nope, expected that they'd be more. Not that Disney would add $50+ to every other previously booked night.

I don't think Iger, Staggs and Chappie liked the idea of a Bob Weis who didn't sign an NDA after leaving the company post Shanghai, which appears to be what could have happened.

Dunno, check the Universal forums on this site.

Remember when the FIRST night of your stay set your rate before the 'seasons' took over.

Taking your money elsewhere is the only way Disney will eventually get the point that this kind of business practice is unacceptable and leaves a bad taste in the mouth of one's customers.

^^^ THIS ^^^ My Parents and Inlaws are hard core pixie dusters and even they see (and did not renew AP's) the decline in quality and service. Next trip to Orlando has us in AKL with no park days scheduled. Well Done Disney, Well done. For the record that's about 8K worth of revenue Disney will not be collecting from this family this year.
I'm sure the snarky replies will come 'More room for me', Disney's riding high now what happens come the next severe recession?. It was the AP holders and Locals who saved WDW's bacon last time round. And Disney has gone out of their way to tell this group your money is not welcome here.

Not wanting to bash your thought (I completely, totally agree that taxpayers should NEVER finance constructing a building for millionairs/billionairs to use to make money), but here in Orlando the Orlando City soccer team eventually stopped trying to get public funding for their new soccer pitch, and are actually funding the construction of a brand new soccer-specific stadium with their own money. And having it with more seating than the government-funded structure was going to have!

It's worth and a nice stay atDisney could almost be the same as flying over and staying by DL. I hate people are having such terrible service though. Maybe I luck out. Last three trips have been golden service wise. Our AC was messed up in a room at POP and they upgraded us to pool view and gave us money back for two nights.Typical Disney nowadays. My grandparents came down last week for the first time in 8 years. Even they mentioned a decline in quality and they're usually always finding the silver lining!! Grandma even said "What happened to Epcot?" I actually had better customer service at their off site resort than I've had on property in my last two resort stays. I'm telling you, once the pixie dust wears off you see just how disjointed WDW really is. Now if I could just get my family convinced that a trip to DL is worth it....but they won't budge

I'm perfectly fine with building as many sports venues as the teams want as long as they pay for them, I'm not fine with public funding and tax breaks though that's corporate welfare at it's worst. Utilities Roads and Sewers well If I built a factory they would be installed as well so fair is fair.

The tam tam drummers of harambe perform 7 sets every day and burudika is performed 4 times per day.

Not the last 3 times I was at AK in 2015, Even the drums which used to be stored under the awning at Tusker House were gone. There is a band which plays in the square however

The group under the Tusker house awning hasn't been there since the lion king moved to Africa causing the bar to move under that awning. But the entertainment offerings I mentioned were there.
In case you need some help.

The point is they were replaced. Things change. You may not like what's there now as much as what it replaced but there are things there.
Push may be gone from tomorrowland but those entertainment dollars and then some now go towards the incredibles dance party. Again you personally may not appreciate it as much but it is there. And it actually attracts a much larger crowd than push ever did. Not to mention it costs substantially more to operate.

Another thing that baffles me of China.
They can build tons and tons of buildings so quick. They cant really build parks full of trees or housing areas with tons of green areas and plants to help mitigate the smog problem?

Are you a fan of Pole based sports Mr. Dave?

Id think it the opposite... He was promoted because Iger supports the same political ideals?

There were dancers in front of Turkser house? or you mean the African band that invites people to dance with them?
Because last time I went and stayed in that area for a bit of time.. they were there.
Then the charges and fees are for MODIFYING a current reservation.?
hold on a second, by adding days to your already reserved booking.. they not only added the nights.. but changed the rates of ALL days involved? that is hella fishy!

wow.. people really have no confidence on Meg.
Is she really that bad in management and business?
The incredibles dance party felt like just a rehash from the older character party.
The only difference is, they changed the character (before it was chip, dale, stitch, goofy) and now its only Mr. Incredible, Frozone and Mrs Incredible.

WDW will be keeping a close eye on this park "lacking attractions" for future reference purposes... although, the lack of a gate thing would have to change. Maybe no attractions and upcharge events; but, no gate - never.
*The only thing good about a bad cold is all the great medications you get prescribed as you can tell by this post.
So, everyone is interested in Bob Weis's Tweets all of a sudden?
He is outspoken and proud of it. Just another reason why he was an excellent choice to be named head of WDI ... but those of you who are surprised absolutely are right. What he is doing isn't the Disney Way at all. Look at the bland feeds of Imagineers from Joe Rohde to Jason Grandt to that British dude that was working at HKDL, but has relocated to the swamps. Never has so much been said of so little substance. Why? Because they are all afraid of Bob and Zenia.
And Bob Weis isn't.
That should make you think.
BTW, can't help but see Bob has less than 2,000 followers, which yet again tells you what a lie Twitter is. Either that or convince yourself that folks like Tom Amity and Tom Bricker and Epcot Explorer and Ricky Brigante and any of the Parkscope bois or any lifestyler you can possibly name (even that Swedish chick who borrowed the Disney Lifetyler moniker for herself) have many thousands of REAL people following them. They flat out do NOT. They have IPs tied to a device anywhere on the planet that have been bought in bulk or simply tagged their account once for whatever reason. But I am sorry to all of them, a few who I actually like, but 10,000 people are not reading your tweets on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
