As much as I disagreed with Al's tactics back when DLR was in bad shape I give him credit for being very successful at getting the LA Times and OC Register to consult or comment on many of their stories which did not show DL or DCA in the best light. Perhaps if a few stories ran in the local or national media about how WDW's showmanship has slipped I guarantee that it wouldn't be long before changes were made.

Dunno how successful they'd be, but that's probably what they would threaten to do. It's not up to me to change Disney's mind by 'protesting' or complaining in the parks. Ridiculous to think I'm going to pay money to complain to them. Efforget that.<< No, no. Not organized protests. Of course that would never work. Subtle tactics - things that would be done within the realm of normal guest activity. No, I don't have any ideas, lol. Just thinking out loud.
