[Ricky Spanish]

Is today April 1st???

I’m sorry if I don’t trust the company.

You got an ego maniac in “image repair desperation mode”

In a way…you could never trust him more than now.


But all this seems to be recession bracing moves…why “generous” in January?

I bet their advance bookings are $&@! For this year and beyond

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Breakfast for 4 at Toppolinos at Coronado Springs is around $200. So it can pay for that.

It’s riviera…

And you pick one of the more overpriced meals on the property

It sure does seem like a lot of carrots and no sticks these days.....

Wonder if this will cause Marriott to take a look at their parking fees now. That becomes a glaring difference suddenly.

Has hell frozen over?

 

[ShookieJones]

First the removal of Stargate and the Taco Twins, now this!? What the......!??!?

It'll pay for my Droid and backpack I planned on lol

Wow they've been busy. A lot of number crunching going on over the last few weeks as to what would be the cheapest bones to throw.

I don't know what I am more excited about. This or the photopass at DLR.

Disneys hotels are massively overpriced for the service/quality…so it doesn’t really equate.

Travel is gonna start having “amazing deals”…the airlines are bombarding with Cheap rates already…

Recession playbook opened up as soon as Santa flew off the roof

Bob just wants you to be happy.

But seriously, glad this is back to normal.

So, how much did the resort fees go up to mask this…

Will this takeaway create more occupancy in the resort ? Perhaps and that’s one way WDW will make bank and then some.

…I’m gonna laugh cause I hope you’re kidding

with the swalphin? I doubt it, Swalphin even with resort fees and parking fees was always and still is a great "deal" compared to Disney owned resorts.

Now about the other trams.

 

[MichWolv]

Cool

yeah, you should be getting limited time harmonious glowing away merch

They never had a parking problem…if you go back to the original threads…that’s why this never could be justified

It was a really easy cash grab that they can rescind with no pain. Not like there will be a budget shortfall now because there is near zero cost.

Good PR move at a minimum

 

[James Alucobond]

Now about the other trams.

With the rate things are going today, we'll discover the trams are missing because they're out to whisk us away from our homes and take us straight to WDW.

I agree, we’re all jaded Disney fans, but it does feel nice and Iger’s optics look good (for now).
You DO have to agree that it’s the little things that makes people smile…even though we don’t use it, I’d like to see Magical Express return as well…

It’s been a pretty good week…Tron opening date, those Harmonious fan barges going to the scrap heap, HEA returning, free guest resort parking. FWIW, NICE!!
