Guests at the US and Paris resorts are often pigs. That's a fact. Disney knows it. It's no secret (like DVC!) ... It's ultimately Disney's responsibility to keep the parks clean. Period. I don't care if guests decide to stage a mass defecation in the Hub (sorry, but I had to take this to a ridiculous, disgusting degree) but it's still Disney's job to make that mess disappear magically. I fully understand that people have no respect for the property of others ... that's not the point at all.

The bigger offenders like those who stick gum somewhere besides trashcans or 'artists' who like to carve initials or scrape paint should have to surrender their hopper passes or face criminal charges. It's high time to import more Singaporean measures to WDW.

I still found the park stunning, and by what everyone saids it is even more so now. Yes I know the best way to experience these parks is to vist in person, but I find travel much more difficult for me now. Kind of ironic when I now have the time.

Originally Posted By pitapan16 I don't know about WDW but I think DL is better now than it ever has been before. Probably WDW too when I think about it, If not just because of the collection of themed environments in the resort, it's amazing, one of a kind place for sure. And although sometimes I feel they've expanded wrongly or have not held their standards where I like them to be at, it atleast has AK park, AKL, the beautiful Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Club, the Seas at Epcot, alot to like amid the lack of funding to jive up the MK like DL, or properly upkeep moderate resorts room interiors.

That was a very, very, very long time ago. I won't make a comment about when I was born here. But what's really keeping you from California, which is a great, amazing state (a political guy like yourself would have a field day with the fact that everyone there is either a FAAAAAR Right wacko or a FAAAAAR Left wacko ... it's why nothing gets done, but they all drink wine by firepits -- or maybe that's just a neighbor's home on fire but with the chardonnay you really don't care!)? You should get your ass out to LA asap. Spend a solid four days at DL/DCA and another two weeks or more in SoCal ... more if you head upstate or down to Mexico or out to Vegas. You simply must go to DL and I don't want to hear any excuses. It isn't like going overseas and you're smack dab in the center of the country (I know, I practically live at Bush -- shaking uncontrollably as I utter that name -- Intercontinental). It's just as easy and fast to fly to LA or OC as it is to get to O-Town. No excuses. I want you to go. And you are the leader of my minions. You must follow orders!

I have the feeling Korean sweatshops aren't much better, though.

My wife will be flying there in about a week. She is not the Disney fan that I am so I doubt if she will drop in to the Mouse House. I'm afraid my flying days are over, as well as limited driving ability at the present. I'm hoping for some slow gradual improvement over the coming months. Until then I will just have to live through everybody here in the forum.

Truly. Do you have a condition that precludes flying? Or do you just not want to deal with the hassles? <<I'm hoping for some slow gradual improvement over the coming months. Until then I will just have to live through everybody here in the forum.>> I guess that means I'll have to stay around and entertain you!

Or do you just not want to deal with the hassles? << Both, one agrivates the other. >> I guess that means I'll have to stay around and entertain you! << I certainly hope so. Slowly, but surly we've lost some good entertaining people here at LP.
