Things not working

[WondersOfLife]

Im aware that the budgeted money is allocated in different areas. I'm just saying Disneys attention isnt going to be focused on a minor issue like one malfunctioned AA out of many in one attraction. And I know theres been a lack of maintenance in the parks from reduction of staffing and money allocated to parks...which is a shame. But I dont fret over minor issues that arent ruining my experience. The majority of guests dont spot that one AA that isnt working and let it ruin their time at Disney so that will affect Disneys need to see a rush to fix an issue. Yes IO think all these things should still get fixed but for some time now Disney has been slow on getting minor things fixed. JUst saying that therse plenty of other major things I find important that I think Disney should attend to than minor AA issues that in the entirety dont affect my enjoyment.

The AA that is broken is a main figure in an AA show, it’s a big deal.

One of the birds on the finale boat in Splash Mountain and one of the frogs in the “how do ya do” scene we’re both turned off last night.

Some of the wheels in Colortopia were not working yesterday.

Not to change the subject, but have they taken jumping Brer Rabbit out of the entire ride altogether, or does it just sit there idly?

It was there last night and it was there Monday when I rode it.

If there are too many boats passing by at once, sometimes it just won’t trigger.

i have noticed that within the past like 1 or 2 years there seems to be a lot more boats in one place. like, the area where you go down the hill to the room with the bees, the area where you go down the hill to the laughing place, and the main lift hill always seem to get backed up way more and way further back than i ever remember them doing prior to a year or 2 ago.

Yeah, I noticed that on our last trip a week ago. At one point, when we were getting ready to go down the first drop in the dark down to the laughing place, the entire ride broke down and all the lights turned on. We were stuck for about ten minutes and rode through with the lights on. It was cool to see, but I have noticed the logs getting quite backed up. Not sure why this is.

The new thing (or more prevalent) this past week was to try to punch a hole in an attraction’s plaster or walls. And before anyone says anything, I said something each time I saw it (which was a lot on different attractions). It’s hard to maintain things when people behave like this and their friends and family tolerate that behavior.

On July 28th he wasn't working and the skin was off so it was just a fully bare metal animatronic sitting back there. It was pretty creepy to see.

it would've been interesting if the skin was off and he was working.

 

[Missing20K]

Yes. Unfortunately it is a thing.

What an odd and idiotic act.

They can't afford it any more.

Yeah I honestly don’t know. I know my reply to @The Empress Lilly sounded snarky on a re-read but I actually agreed on many points. It really just strikes me as odd that even with large increases in prices they still attract a clientele most folks would agree doesn’t seem to respect the parks or other guests as much as they seemed to 20+ years ago.

I see your point, but at the same time, the company itself is making millions upon millions every day. I went to Disney After Hours and just for that event, they made $16,000,000 on that night alone. There were a good 3000 people in the park that night, compared to the normal average of 55,000 people. That's in the Magic Kingdom ALONE. It stands to reason that it's not funding problems.

Remember, that’s revenue...not profit. Takes a lot of money to keep the doors open. Parks do make a lot of money (the profit is public) but operating margins are still only around 20-25%.

That said, almost everything should always work.

And don't forget they are going crazy building new rides and lands and resorts and bus stops. Disney is spending a lot of money redoing and adding right now. Seems they need to add some of that money to the parks upkeep budget.

Picture or it didn't happen.

Money doesn't equate to class.

 

[Missing20K]

Money doesn't equate to class.

Nope, it sure doesn't. Class certainly precedes money and not the other way around. Unfortunately, money seems to even empower those with less than admirable social skills to act darn near anyway they please. I suppose I expect too much from people who have spent thousands to be there, to treat the place and fellow guests better.

When I was there 2 weeks ago, Nemo was down due to something wrong with the omnimover's conveyor belt system. Seems like Nemo keeps going down for some reason here lately.

Been to EPCOT 3 different times this summer and it has never been down while we were there. The past two times the angler fish hasn't worked and it is my favorite effect.

I cannot believe I am reading this. WHY? What would be the reason to try and do this??
