WDW Cuts and Upcharges

[bob albert]

It's literally what the trash cans that fill up the fasted/need the most attention are referred to as internally

I searched hot can which is apparently a ration like self heating thing. That led me down the rabbit hole of food rations so thanks for that lol.

So, this is the Shanghai thread right? I can't figure out why anyone here is interested in Disney Shanghai anyway but by the conversation... I would say they are not.

No, this is not the Shanghai thread. The title explicitly states that it is about recent cuts. Those cuts just happen to trace back to Shanghai because of cost overruns.

Oh.

I literally just came to the forum after a booking a hotel in WDW. And now I want to cancel. Maybe now is not the time.

This is the time for Universal to completely step it up in rides for the entire family, entertainment and food. You would think with McDonald's , oil companies , department stores and many more companies suffering after years of doing the same thing Disney wouldn't do stuff like this.

Other companies had to make cuts during the recession, and they had no choice about it.

Disney had a choice, they didn't have to build Shanghai

Universal are different as they have a massive cash injection from their parent company

 

[Jon84]

Agreed. At both Universal & WDW I've had many of them ask me if I needed help when I was looking at a map. And they generally volunteered an informative friendly conversation. Yes, your observation is right on.

That's funny, in WDW I've often found before that some Custodial CMs not even have knowledge of where the nearest restroom is!!

No.

It is interesting reading this thread. I will admit I have not been to universal as much post kids as I went pre kids. But Universal was always the dirtier of the two parks. I have had cockroaches crawl on me while watching a concert. Maybe they have stepped up their cleaning effort in the last 5 years. I haven't paid as much attention to those details since I am normally paying attention to the kiddos.

There's two stories. Pre Comcast Universal. Comcast Universal. Whole different philosophy.

New Rumor: Disney Execs. have issued a directive to remove all statues of Walt & Roy Disney, melt them down, and sell them as scrap. Monies will be used to maintain Executive bonuses for Fiscal year 2016.

I heard they were going to turn them into pressed pennies and sell them for $0.55 each but on busy days they will be $1.55. They can get the parks budget into the black in no time - oh wait, did I hear a record break in the annual report?

Be careful. They're probably reading this thread and you just gave them a great idea.

In..an interesting note; in all of the cuts that are happening,

 

[Nick]

There was reports on Magic it may be moving back to an August-October closure.

Probably capacity concerns. Lot's of long lines at MK these past months. If, as NBT says that they may postpone until August, it gets them through the busy part of the summer at least.

When was it gonna shut down? I have to say Sunday was pretty crowded so I can see how they might want to wait until after this summer. With spring break coming up soon, the only other thing could be a mid April to late may closure, but I have a feeling crowds are not gonna die down that much in that time period.

The original schedule was April 4th through July 15th.
