Not to be rude but you are. I've already given up explaining the concept and direction that Disney is going but if you choose to ignore it that's your problem. All I'm saying is that one day it WILL start to impact your park visits. When that day comes, maybe you will start to care.
Agreed. As I mentioned before I totally get the argument against upcharges like this, but we really don't know what's going to happen in the future so I'm just focusing on the subject at hand.
Still, as is, this is an attraction formerly included with your $100+ ticket for the full day which is now not. You can not say that this does not negatively impact regular guests visits in favor of more lucrative guests. And the same with the ugly $600/day tent city in Tomorrowland.
I'm sorry you perceived it that way, but that's not what I was trying to get across at all, hence why I also repeatedly mentioned how my original post literally said that people (as in other guests besides me) can still ride the riverboat and it shouldn't have too much of an impact on their day. I understand the way the parks are going, I'm not ignoring what you're saying at this point I'm just trying to defend the fact that you're putting words in my mouth and stuck on me thinking selfishly when it's actually quite the opposite. I'm just stating my opinion on what is currently happening, since none of us can predict the future and although things definitely seem to be going in this direction we're not going to know until things happen. I think it's best that we agree to disagree at this point.
I completely agree. I think this is the argument against an event like this and it totally makes sense. All I'm saying is that for the riverboat specifically it shouldn't make a huge difference-- there isn't a line or a Fastpass needed for the riverboat, and it's a relatively easy attraction to fit into the rest of your touring if you can't do it between those hours. I agree that the principle is wrong, and it would be a nightmare if this were to happen to most attractions, I just think that currently with the riverboat it's still manageable.
Let's not be too hasty on ruling out a BBQ on TDI. Throw in a bluegrass band and we may be on to something. Not an upcharge though. Just good BBQ and music in the woods.
I've been going to WDW since 1974 and you've just shown me my "aha moment," but in the worst way possible. It's nice to have someone who can take my thoughts and articulate them perfectly. Thank you!
Me, too! That doesn't mean we're old. That's what I tell myself, at least.
My sentiments exactly. I feel your pain.
I don't mean to seem like I'm attacking you personally, all of my thoughts on this subject are essentially directed to the group of people on these boards that have the same opinion about these sorts of things. Nothing personal of course, just wanted to make sure that was clear.
Exactly my point, very well said.
