I btw also believe 2009 will be another year of cuts at WDW- ( and everywhere else ) -- we have not hit bottom with this economy yet.I have seen my budget for next year and it scares the heck out of me.... As soon as the final retail numbers are in - another shoe will fall

I have hated the guy for decades now. He clearly doesn't like bringing presents to those who don't worship him or his his chosen faiths! <<I even heard my 2 sons in law talking about WDW, (they always thought my family was nutty because of our love for the place.)

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 I didn't know Santa had a religion. Those rolls were bad, guess I should have shredded the cheddar instead of dicing. That's what I get for being lazy.
