I think you are taking a successful attraction/area opening and getting a huge return on investment to invest in more attractions of the same theme and confusing it with an announcement and opening phase 1 of a project that has still yet to be completed.

Exactly. They opened two different themed areas in two seperate parks. Now they are possibly creating another, that doesn't mean it's unfinished, it means it is successful and they want to build more.

Perhaps my standards and expectations are higher than yours?
If as you claim you have been a habitual trough diner for the last 5 years you may have seen a standardisation of menus, then again if al you are loking at is the free tag who knows. Unique specialist dishes have been replaced by family favourites from the ready meal aisle. The result is less than fine fayre. In signature restaurants menus have shrunk, variety reduced all while prices have soared beyond the norm for eateries of those grades. When the signature venues are charging the same as a Michelin starred restaurant while producing chain restaurant quality food its no wonder they offer free dining.

Ok. Disney opened the remodeled/built Fantasy Land and will be opening Avatar Land (2 themed areas in two separate parks) and it will take very similar time.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to trying to say either park is fast in anything they do. I'm just saying that they both take the same amount of time to build a good quality themed attraction. Now, Universal can put together an erector set, paint it green and call it Hulk in no time at all but something like that would not pass at Disney. We just expect more detail in the World.

Sort of like the detail in the Potter attractions, how long did Gringotts and the train take again?

Doing even just the slightest bit of research will tell you that there are no longer slow periods at WDW. I repeat there are no longer slow periods at WDW.

No I think it's in Alabama. I hear they have great hotels and restaurants but the rooms are small and dirty.

Going back to the original topic of the thread. We just returned last Tuesday and one thing that we noticed was the increased security. Not just at the gate but throughout the park as well. I think there has to be a balancing point between making the guest feel safe and keeping the Magic. With guards in every store and walking down the streets it just seemed a bit much.
Yes there are.

I was just there the 13-19th and it wasn't busy at all, moderate busy. Frozen is opening in June which was announced. CBR has had a lot of negative reviews over the years which is why I avoid it. Everything else is pretty much online.

$1,500 for a family of four from England?? If I am understanding you correctly, that is cheap! I can tell you that for us, a family of 6, round trip from Austin, Texas was about $1,600, which I thought was pretty reasonable.

Give me a break. I'm not even going to read past your first bullet because there's so much nonsense. You expect people to believe that the bathroom floor was "covered with hair" and that there were literal poop stains on your sheets?
Also, your claim that your Port Orleans room was larger is objectively false. Your Port Orleans room was 314 square feet, exactly the same as your Caribbean Beach room.
Guess so, went plenty of times on the last year and early December had mid to low twenty minute wait times, January and February the same. Walked straight on Space Mountain multiple times.

I believe you. I just remember entire seasons in the 80's and 90's when we felt like we had the parks to ourselves. I havent experienced that in several years but like I said I guess I just miss the slow times.
