The worst decision WDW ever made?

[TubaGeek]

Ever introducing Fastpass to begin with. It looked good on paper, but it sucked from the word go.

Worked well for me.

I can't believe no one has said this yet- but passing up Potter. They simultaneously missed out on a huge IP and let it slip through their fingers right into their biggest competitor's hands. And let's face it, Uni never had a chance of catching up to WDW until WWoHP.

Worked well for me.

I have no doubt that it did, but, it didn't work well for those that couldn't get one did it. That is where the problem originates, not with those that did manage to get one. If someone knew how to use the system, (the older one, not the present so much) it was great or if one could get to the kiosk before they ran out, also great. For those that had to wait in artificially long lines... not so much.

Changing "Alien Encounter" for "Stitch's Great Escape" - DISASTER

Yeah I go along with this one

I may be in the minority but I do not miss 20K. It was a damp ride in a fake sub through a dirty swimming pool with fiberglass fish. Everything was faded and washed out. A refurb would have made it brighter and cleaner but it was still a boring ride. I will grant you that my first ride in it was in 90 if I remember right and it had seen better days.

I go along with this too

Am I the only one who liked neither?

I haven't been to TWWoHP but have heard great things. If TWDC had purchased it and built it in WDW, would it still be the great experience everyone says it is? With the way they are value engineering and cost cutting here and there, I say no.

I think one of the worst decisions WDW made was when they shortned the Studio Backlot Tour at DHS. The former tour was much more exciting, and there were actually things to see. What's also disappointing is that DHS is no longer a working movie studio.

Getting rid of Delta Dreamflight. It was Soarin's dirty old grandpa.

This falls under the category of "Meg".

The past thirty years. Does that count?

Everyone had the same opportunity to get more rides in every day.

Changing the original Imagination, closing Horizons, and World of Motion (2 CLASSIC dark rides!) and getting rid of Superstar Television at DHS! I loved that!!!

Replacing Jeremy Irons on SSE, also the STUPID decent backwards update on SSE.

Makes me so mad to close my eyes and imagine memories of vibrant fiberoptive lights and future city models......and opening them to see my face half cut off on a dumb cartoon, in a pitch black tunnel. Grinds my gears!!!

Turning the whole vacation into one big damn planning session. At this point I'm not sure that my wife would go to WDW if the trip was 100% free because of that issue.

Oh, no…I have to do this with a few separate posts by Park. Ok, MK first.

- Nixing the Adventureland Veranda
- I love Tomorrowland Terrace - but not the constant, so what food do we serve now? identity crisis - Prime spot - nice views of TL, MS, and the rose garden- childhood memories here…Needs something, but I am not sure - But I do love that it hasn't changed interior much since 80's.
- I heard the cheese curds are gone from LTT - not an emergency - but disappointing
-The Tiki Room, er, changes….
- Stitch - if you remove AE - gotta come back with better - not worse
-The flower carts and foot long hot dog carts on MS side streets - sorry, I need to get my head out of my 80's-early 90's space but never seem to.
- Actually, before my time - but the Swan Boats must have been awesome
-Mr. Toad - devestating - hence my name…
- the lack of adding more brilliantly themed TS over the years - it is MK….the Sci-Fi, Derby, and 50's are brilliant. Let's do it in MK too. BOG is a great start.
-Still bummed about the Skyway - incredible views
- And I miss the old WDWRR audio loop
-

Oh, no, most of my issues are food-related. LOL!
