Why do you think the parks blog regularly addresses things we're complaining or confused about? That kind of nonsense about Disney only using formal surveys and being completely unaware of the things we say here and elsewhere will not be tolerated. What you say in the public forum counts and your apathy or ability to accept misdirection from people - btw on their payroll who there entirely to mislead you - is being carefully monitored and measured.<<< Where did this rant come from? Regardless, it's true.

That doesn't change my opinion that no changes are coming to the SSE descent until there's a mandate from Seimens. If passionate internet opinion were the spearhead for change, the Lights of Winter still wouldn't be collecting dust, now would they (and that, to me, certainly seemed like a lot more 'anger instigating' topic than the SSE descent). Forum discussions certainly can impact what Disney does, but I doubt it's going to make a substantial difference when there aren't complaints come in from other fronts. You're more than welcome to insinuate I'm somehow less intelligent than you because I supposedly 'talk' to Figment plushes at the airport. I stand by my statement that overstating your opinion is going to get you nowhere.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<Seeing that Iger is so management and quality happy these days>> I doubt he would see anything wrong with it. The descent isn't supposed to be about what's around you anymore, it's about the screens. Not saying it's right, but it's the truth.

A LOT of people ask me where the "HUGE" city went. >>>You kiddies amuse me. With your boundless energy. Nice to see in the LP!<<<< We aim to please.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer It's a mix of both, kinda. I still love the ride, but wonder where that city is, too. ;-)
