You are passing judgement but not really giving a fair treatment either. >>This is the park I grew up in, this is where I love to spend my time...they have Epcot here!! (MY FAVORITE!)<< Same here, and furthermore...this is the park where I was a CM for 4 yrs of my life! Shaving each morning and not having mustaches and being told I had to help out keeping the place clean even though I was not in Custodial, and where I had to have a ready answer for a guest on demand, while keeping the spirit and quality that meant DISNEY. I don't see that same attitude or dedication anymore from some CMs and especially from management there. Maybe I am too old and remember the good old days but now a days, Disney charges the most they have ever charged for admission and more than ever they need to surpass expectations the way we were beaten over the head over surpassing expectations with each and every guest we encountered "on stage". But they fail to do so a lot lately, reason for my tough love approach. >>The other parks are not spread out over 40 square miles as is WDW. That said, those far smaller parks have to put on the best shows they possibly can to stay afloat.<< Nonsense. Bigger does not mean better, and Size is what has dragged WDW's quality down. Too much to take care of, too little dough to get it done. Reason why the smaller Disney Resorts can afford to do a better job overall. >> even if what they say about other parks is true, ripping WDW to shreds is still inexcusable.<< Inexcusable?!?! That is probably the most apologetic statement I have ever read about the current state of WDW in these boards!!! Inexcusable would be for me or you to make threats, make racial or sexual remarks or use profanity! But offering an opinion on the quality (or lack of) at WDW being "inexcusable" is simply a stupid remark. >>In his "dislikes" he does it with such an air of superiority. This is where there is clash<< So it's not my comments but my attitude that bothers you... well TOO BAD. Deal with it and move on, because I am not going to sweat talk my way thru topics that are dear to my heart and will defend my position until confronted with hard facts to the contrary.

Some people with simple temperments might find them insulting, but I would guess that's their problem. I don't see how a post on a Disney message board could ever make a person feel a certain way, unless said person was very weak-minded and/or lives to be find insults everywhere. But I do think I know one cause of the anti-you sentiment amongst some other posters ---- jealousy. You are so damn lucky and get to see every Disney resort on earth annually. Heck, I doubt you go a week without setting foot in one resort or another. I doubt there are many people, whether here at LP or anywhere, that could say the same. With that, you probably have far more knowledge about how Disney presents its product in each resort than anyone else here. That can breed contempt. Some people, not myself, may feel inferior because they'll never even get to Anaheim or Paris let alone Tokyo and Hong Kong. So even if you aren't attacking them, they feel insecure and go on the offensive. I wouldn't let it bother you. And I wouldn't ever edit yourself just because someone might be offended. I enjoy what you write you lucky &*%^$%&$^!

I was saying how much I appreciate WDW, even if things are supposedly better to others at other parks, which is something that is constantly said here. <<You are so damn lucky and get to see every Disney resort on earth annually.>> I would not get on a plane to travel to Asia for any park, Disney or not. I HATE traveling so much that it is gruesome to even plan a trip to go to DL. Now if DL was in, say, Georgia, then i might go once a year lol but Epcot is here so why worry about anything else

Originally Posted By vbdad55 I am sooo looking forward to it. My wife flies but doesn't like it much, as for me I fly too much and it looks like such a nice alternative. We are going to take 4 weeks total, so the extra time on the boat not an issue.
