Crane and More
If I had already booked the trip and paid for my airfare there is no single attraction that would cause me to cancel. This being said, I would be extremely dissapointed if it ended up that I had everything set and Haunted Mansion or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was closed. Last year the first day of our trip was Sept 8th 2010. According to this site that was supposed to be the very last day of Star Tours before it went down. We checked in and got over to Hollywood ASAP, but when we got there the CMs said we had missed it by 1 day. It was a bummer, but it by no means ruined our visit.
I am in complete agreement with SWEETPEE 1993. Given the castle's iconic nature and the fact that many people are sure to miss the chance to get that perfect castle photo, Disney should make more of an effort to minimize use of the ugly crane during the day. Thanks to this website I learned of the crane while planning last year's trip and we avoided it. This year all the reservations were made and it was reported that the crane would be up while were were there. Luckily those in the know had it one week off and we got all our pictures, but not without seeing the crane and hearing lots of folks complain to eachother. Maybe a little Photopass Photoshop courtesy of the folks at Disney is in order.
