And what makes you think they've never read any of your opinions before ... you do tend to post in my threads after all!

It could very well be my Swan Song.

To me the parks are different than if I was a day guest but I definitely speak now with my wallet.. Its rare that I spend money in the parks now to the point I usually bring a snack along so I dont have to buy anything...
Originally Posted By DyGDisney Hmm, I haven't felt this way at Disneyland at all. I wonder if it's more a WDW thing? I have noticed a focus on all things Disney being sold in every nook and cranny in the park, but never feel pressured to purchase anything (except maybe by my kids!!). The food at DL is pricey, but I don't think overly compared to other family entertainment venues. I really am dying to go to WDW. Hope when I get there I don't feel this high pressure sale feeling.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<Definetly not. I'm thinking of leaving Walt Disney World though.>> I kind of got that impression. I can't say I blame you. I guess I'm just too addicted, live too close and -- probably most important -- have too many people I enjoy spending time with who live in the area. Besides, when the staleness of the MK gets to me, I just hop a boat to WL or FW and walk in the woods and veg ... I realize that when you spend over three grand you likely don't stop as much to do the little things at WDW ... but it's those things that I keep coming back for because generally the idiots at TDO stay away from them (well, except for letting RC sit and rot and taking away all the animals from the petting zoo!) I think you should take a trip to DL instead the next time you're thinking of coming here. If you absolutely won't fly, then drive or take the train ... the magic of Disney isn't dead they're just trying to kill it in FLA to justify their jobs and keep the stock from dropping further.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 ^^so nice of you to ask SD. I was going last year, but when I got my contract with Beijing and spent two months in China that totally changed things.

The reports are based on my experiences on this particular 8 day period. It's not meant to be a downer, just my observations of things, and the latest prices. You might be happy about some things I write.

Believe me when I say I know all about being addicted to Disney. I use to smoke, but I quit that also.
