WDW literally falling apart

[Tha Realest]

What's wrong with being over 45 ?

Many of us have vivid memories of when WDW was in its prime (1986-1996)

Someone start a Disney fan site that isn’t just whiny whiners whining all day and night.

Just go to an annual passholder facebook fan group page.

1975 -1989. Just sayin’

When the original Contemp Arcade room closed. Everything. Just. Changed.

Man, were there “hotties” in that place.

You must be in a management position at one of these places, you didn’t read what I stated. I am a contractor for places like this and it because of people being in management that shouldn’t be, they simply do not know what to do. The ones who ran these places with intelligence and experience have retired or moved on either from frustration or being of retirement age. The “new guard” does not know what to do and either does nothing in confusion trying to “figure it out” or spends money inefficiently. You really can’t blame them because they don’t belong in the position. The problem is most of their bosses do not either,

Bad leadership is prevalent and a virus in today's corporate America! It may be bad at Disney, but it's bad everywhere else too.

Not just “leadership”. It’s the work force too. Nobody wants to come into an office anymore, much less drive to a theme park to don a costume and put up with stuff (both from an internal politics perspective and an entitled customer one) for $15-20 an hour

Especially when there are hundreds of companies that will pay 30-40k and set you up with a phone or app to field customer service calls in your living room for a few hours a day.

I read what you said. They can’t just send a contractor, no matter how old school or good, to just fix it.

Exactly! The contractor needs direction and can’t perform what the particular business has in mind if there isn’t any, the problem is the people in the particular business isn’t qualified to make a decision. It is not a Disney problem it is across the board a society problem.

That’s the problem completely and there is nothing wrong with being over 45 to the other poster, I am simply pointing out that most of the regime that knew how to do things are either forced out or have retired. I being under 45 get it, I wish you well and hope the younglings gain from some knowledge!

I was on Star tours yesterday and as we were leaving the ride, there was a panel about 10 feet long missing and you could see the whole simulator through it after we rode. Talk about taking you out of the story. Jeez

The proper decision, one that fixes the underlying issue while also following the show design, is one that takes times.

It's been 9 months.

 

[Castle Cake Apologist]

The quotes imply the opposite.

Can you explain to me exactly why a complaint about a building falling apart and being left in disrepair months later with the bare minimum of trying to hide it with planters is "invalid"? I'm really just wondering what you would actually consider a valid complaint.

It's been 9 months.

I’m aware but even just putting things back they were, which is a bad idea, could take time depending on just getting the actual finish material.

It looks kinda tiny over the construction walls…was that what they were going for by putting it in the wrong park as an impediment to get to the next festival booth?

In all reality what park would this belong to and actually draw crowds? Granted i agree this has no business in Epcot but how many can truly be excited about this glorified queue and my guess most “average” guests who are not glued to these boards probably think this is more than a walk thru.

Almost as bad as the gift shop at the end of the ride.

For what it's worth, around 15% of the Magic Kingdom's ride capacity was unavailable yesterday (July 9). And 12% of the Animal Kingdom's capacity, mostly at Everest and Dinosaur.

So did Disney reduce your park fee by 15% --- oh silly me they probably raised it by 15%

That was never gonna draw crowds

And it fits in Epcot the LEAST

MK or dak due to the scenery…I guess?

They were giving out refunds for charging for things unavailable, right?

…I bet.

Wasn’t Iger supposed to “fix things”?

Have we checked to see if he even shows up to work anymore?
