Originally Posted By JimG I agree with Jim Hill, now is the time to go to WDW or Disneyland. I recently returned from Disneyland (Sept.1-6)and, although I had planned my next Disney park visit in 2002 or 2003, I am seriously considering a WDW visit before the year is out (perhaps October). I urge others to do likewise!
Originally Posted By u k fan I'd be there in a heartbeat if I was near enough. The recent events have had no effect on my feelings for visiting WDW. I wish I could be there now to show my support.
Originally Posted By SJHYM I have a friend from England here. Those who are coming to tomorrows meet will get to meet him!!! His first WDW trip! Anyway, we went to the AK and MGM on Friday and we did Kilimajaro, Pagnani Falls, Kali River, Jungle Trek, Tough to be a Bug, Dinosaur all in under 2 hours. We then went over to the Studios where we did: ToT, Basckstage Studio Tour, Muppets, Star Tours, Sound Show, and lunch in less than 3 hours. Both parks were very slow. In fact, the CM's were discouraging people from using FP since all the rides were a walk on. So if you have the means, come visit us in FL. It is a great time to visit us. See all you LP members in town on Sunday at 1pm at the Carousel of Progress.
Originally Posted By kevram My parents work in the Magic Kingdom and my mom is one that could be asked not to report to work in the coming weeks. My dad has full-time status and she is a seasonal until another fulltime position opens. This proves that this event is effecting everybody. But, we can't sit around and do nothing. We do need to live a normal life. I work at a Disney Store and was grateful to see people in the mall today, in fact, it felt like a holiday rush was going on. People want to get out and do something. Hopefully, we will see an attendence boost soon. Don't forget 100 years of Magic starts in about 11 days. Who wants to be the first ones to see it?
