I kept thinking of you, Hans during my visit cause I realized the MB needs to be introduced at DL El pronto! I bemoaned not having it on my wrist many times and you know I am one of those that hated the idea at WDW. BUT every day numerous times I was astounded at how many people I saw entering the Park and opening the map to figure out what to do ... Many people still do not know about the FP at DL !!! Unbelievable as it sounds I saw it over and over again this week. It will be a hard-sell at DL. More on topic the one thing that really makes me mad with Disney is overselling the Annual Passes and allowing to many people into the parks. One should not feel in danger to have fun . My niece and family lives in San Diego area and they never feel the crowding while in the parks because they live with it daily on the freeways and grocery stores and parking lots and shopping malls. In the past you would never approach strangers to sit at a dining table but it is a concept my daughter learned while living and going to school in SanFrancisco and Chicago and Paris and New York ( yes she had my dream life) We all need to prepare for life in the very near future. Correct?

It's kind of hard to believe that people don't know what it is or how it works.

Were you blowing your stack and verbally abusing cast members because of the overwhelming crowds that descended on the place? If not, then what I said doesn't apply to you." I'm not sure if we should both be worried but, I agree with this! WAY too much knee jerk reactionary posting happening around here lately - maybe it's the stress of the season but it's "walking on egg shells" around here lately.

Weird.

I dunno, what else would you call someone who books a trip to WDW during the busiest two weeks of the year and then curses and screams at cast members because of the crowds? Stupid seems about right to me.

I was in a store the other day and the person in front of me was yelling at the cashier because she didnt like the way the cashier bagged her stuff! When did we as a society decide its ok to treat people hat way?
