I'll start by mentioning the Fantasmic being cut to two nights and the Hallowishes trims. Who's next?

Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad Do you want to include things that haven't been repaired.

Is lack of repair a cutback?

It's an absolute ripoff. Next they're going to start charging you for the bobbypins to hold your ears on.
