Work out your deals at the bargaining table, not on the street in the middle in the wee hours of the morning. Say what you will, but there is a time a place for protesting. The union's tactics of purposely inconveniencing guests for their own means at Disney's expense are grossly inappropriate.

Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt "if you think that this will help you, it will not, not one bit, you have already cast a dark shadow on all that you are seeking with the most important people" I'm not "seeking" anything from these individuals. Why you can't understand that I don't care a whit about the issues of management or their employees? Their dispute isn't and shouldn't be my problem. Besides, it's already been pointed out that the noisemakers who participated in the protest weren't even Disney employees. Again, as a paying customer, my concern is getting the best value for the price paid, not the negotiations between management and its workers. Period. I'm fairly certain that I'm not the only Disney guest who feels this way either. "TINK, there is already a federal mediator at these negotiations." Didn't Disney state that they were in negotiations with the union, which is why they were surprised by the protests? This is exactly why I have little sympathy for the union in this case.

Nor did they care about the other outings we nixed for this trip,or that the price of a standard room at the PPH is $251.00 a night! So YES my concern is getting the best vacation for the $$$ I spend while on my Relaxing Family Vacation.

Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt ^^Probably not, since to get close to the Grand they'd be trespassing on Disney property. The PP Hotel is situated on a public thoroughfare with little distance between the hotel and the street.
