"Social science is entirely predicated on clasifying cohort groups.

Disney's use of AP holders as a target for marketing is the perfect example of this.

I do agree with the fact that the DLR policies and sometimes lack of enforcement of said policies can create a multitude of ills for many people who visit. (and do not get me started on flash photography and seat saver..those blanket people out too early) Many of the complaints I have seen here and hear otherwise can certainly be attributed to that. I am simply voicing my opinions to be taken or left as the reader wishes

My biggest complaint couldn't be given to any particular group/day visitors/AP's. But...it appears to me that the "line savers" are folks from out of town...I would love to see that be enforced.
