Originally Posted By radman33 well my pass expires three days before my trip..so called to see if there was anyway that could still keep my last membership they where like NO! You must do it before and they where saying it with a I dont care attitude. these two calls and another Experince i had at the park last visit I went with my Fiancee her friend wich was a larger guest,she could sit on the ride she has before but she had a hard time putting the seat belt on..the castmember told us to hurry up or well all have to get off the Attraction,we are stoping other people from haveing fun. His job is to help out a guest not yell at us. this showed me that Disney has lost that MAGICAL touch and are after Money. Im thinking about forgeting being a passholder. Another thing is the member on the phone did not give there names. Ill still more then likely go this Tuesday for one day then go back on the 28th. But I want to go and have fun. not be pushed by unhappy Employees.

The CM was just trying to keep the ride running smoothly!! As for the phone call, I'm sorry to hear the CM was rude. When I called about AP Nights, I said "Thank you.", and the guy said "No, thank you, we appreciate your taking the time to call."
Originally Posted By mele <<well my pass expires three days before my trip..so called to see if there was anyway that could still keep my last membership they where like NO!>> I'm confused, you were asking if you could get into the parks for free because your pass expired right before your trip?
Originally Posted By radman33 Free?? Yeah Right. I just went to Vons and got one of those Southern Cali select card things. As far as worldepcot..Yeah understand they want the ride to run smoothly..But help out. Dont sit there.

Do you asked if you could RENEW your Annual Pass and that they said NO (in an uncaring way)? Why would they tell you that you couldn't spend money to renew your pass?

Thanks to all you guys for talking to me about all this.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA My advice, radman33? Don't renew your AP. Just go to the park, pay the regular admission and see how it goes. If your visit stinks, or you're just not that into it, don't go back. If you feel like you want APs again, go that route. But there ain't no way anyone is going to convince you that you didn't get shoddy treatment or that your experience was a positive one. So use your own judgement.

Originally Posted By cstephens radman33 wrote: > this showed me that Disney has lost that MAGICAL touch and are after Money. So you believe this but are going anyway? (Oh, by the way, they're a business, so yeah, they want to make money. Why do so many people seem to not get that point?) And again, you're basing your opinion on the actions of two or three people? Every company is going to have employees who aren't happy or who are having a bad day. When that happens to me, I don't think of it as a reflection of the entire company. I think of it as one person reflecting poorly on the entire company. /cs
