Huge bummer to see the queue details go. Will be even more of a bummer when they get rid of the queue audio loop

Probably thinking if they do one element at a time it won't be so jarring as pulling back the curtain to reveal all the changes at once?I get reduced capacity and all that so the more rides open the better, but could they really not just shut this thing down for 2 weeks and just really be able to get it all done ASAP and without interfering with the guest experience?
Well they had a whole year to do it but you know Disney money>guest experience.I get reduced capacity and all that so the more rides open the better, but could they really not just shut this thing down for 2 weeks and just really be able to get it all done ASAP and without interfering with the guest experience?
This isn't a shot at you in but a general observation: I wish everyone would accept, internalize and get over the fact that Disney values its money more than your experience, and this was never not the case, no, not even when you were a child, no, not even when Walt was in charge.Well they had a whole year to do it but you know Disney money>guest experience.
Ahh but it is the soft underbelly that we can poke at, of course money is the entire purpose, it's a bizznessThis isn't a shot at you in but a general observation: I wish everyone would accept, internalize and get over the fact that Disney values its money more than your experience, and this was never not the case, no, not even when you were a child, no, not even when Walt was in charge.
Exactly right. It's the theme park business, not the theme park friendship.Ahh but it is the soft underbelly that we can poke at, of course money is the entire purpose, it's a bizzness
You mean mickey doesn't love me???Exactly right. It's the theme park business, not the theme park friendship.

Funny the first thing I thought when I saw the spacing out was "well, that's one way to spread out costs" lolProbably thinking if they do one element at a time it won't be so jarring as pulling back the curtain to reveal all the changes at once?
If you’re the VP of Magic Kingdom, you’re judged by the satisfaction score of the park, not of individual attractions. So it’s 0% surprising that the choice that prioritizes the park satisfaction score is the one that was made.I get reduced capacity and all that so the more rides open the better, but could they really not just shut this thing down for 2 weeks and just really be able to get it all done ASAP and without interfering with the guest experience?

Yeah, i'm always surprised when it comes as a shock to people that every company's number one priority is to make money, no matter what their company propaganda says.This isn't a shot at you in but a general observation: I wish everyone would accept, internalize and get over the fact that Disney values its money more than your experience, and this was never not the case, no, not even when you were a child, no, not even when Walt was in charge.
So when you go to a Michelin star restaurant and they serve Cracker Barrel food you are okay with it because "they have to make money".This isn't a shot at you in but a general observation: I wish everyone would accept, internalize and get over the fact that Disney values its money more than your experience, and this was never not the case, no, not even when you were a child, no, not even when Walt was in charge.
You've set up a strawman of my statement, so let's toss that strawman out and start again.So when you go to a Michelin star restaurant and they serve Cracker Barrel food you are okay with it because "they have to make money".
Disney asks an upscale price and should deliver accordingly. It's because of guests (in general) who keep coming up with excuses for bad show and experience that they can get away with it and it's making me miss old Disney where the company made a ton of money and having they highest standards in the theme park world.

Wall Street just likes a positive outlook. Netflix has never turned a profit, yet it's traded for far more than Disney is. Disney+ has similarly never tuned a profit, had all theme parks closed for periods of time over the last year, cruise line still off line, etc ,etc... and yet their stock price is at around the highest it's ever been.You would think that Disney is a publicly traded company with stockholders who demand a return on investment. I have worked for publicly traded companies and privately held companies and have seen the angst that precedes an earnings release when the results were less than favorable. It is why I don't understand why Disney can continue to be so inefficient and wasteful on their investments into the parks.
