Maybe you don't have a problem sticking your head in the sand while your backside is up for whomever wants it, but that's not how some of us want to be treated.

Sure they would. I think most people probably remember when Disney and customer service went hand and hand and it was an actual component of their business.

But think of the upcharge events a gift card could buy you.

I was under the impression that Amazon doesn't accept Bitcoin payment directly but there some entities that will convert Bitcoin to an Amazon gift card?

Quite the contrary. I have a very good memory of a $100 gift card that USO recently gave me simply because we requested a booth at a City Walk restaurant (as part of a walk-up reservation, mind you) and after two attempts to seat us at a table next to the restrooms over the course of 45 minutes we left and expressed our disappointment at the guest services booth. USO also called ahead to another restaurant of our choice and had a booth waiting for our party when we arrived.
You could literally use that as a response to any complaint ever, throughout all time and until life of any kind (even microbial) is gone.
It is a good defense mechanism for a weak mind.

What is this thing of which you speak???? Customer Service? Wow, I remember when Disney used to have it. How wonderful, and I am glad I'm going to spend more time at Universal this trip!

No, I'm just tired of hearing the whiners.
Complain about things, but still spend your money at Disney.
If you are truly upset then cancel your vacation.

And what if you're one of the families already there? Although, I'm sure some pithy dismissal will be forthcoming....

Is it somehow impossible to simply skip this thread if you feel it is too whiny for you?
We have stopped going to Disney for long vacations before this specific event, but many events like this recently are the main cause of our conversion to a "Disney in small doses" family.

No one in this thread is saying that because they already cancelled it last month when we found out about the $5 Mickey bar
.....which was before we knew about the alcohol service in restaurants

Just this one. The others are anywhere from $199 to $349.

Interesting side note. I wandered through the thread on this on "the other site" and someone mentioned that this new event was for 10 or so guests. The DPB announcement for this indicated that each dinner would be for "no more than 60" guests. There was no reason given by the poster on that thread for that number (they weren't claiming any insider knowledge or anything), and it seems ridiculously low for an event of this nature. I would assume that goal was to get a full 60 people just due to the profit potential that TDO seems to think is possible with this. But if this event really was limited to be far less than 60, say the 10 that this person claimed, then this event would actually lose money. My original guess was that the 30 or so parties that were booted represented $7,000 in gross revenue. Any ticket sales to this upcharge event below 20 would make this a money loser in my opinion. I still assume the premium event incurring higher food and labor costs. They would need to sell 14 tickets just to equal any monies they original reservations represented.
Personally I think the goal here will be to sell the full 60 tickets. And if this is being marketed to the Golden Oak crowd I could see them hitting their number.

Oh, and I notices people are intentionally trying to make this all look worse then it really is. This event does NOT cost $500.00....
it costs $499.
