What's your dream?

So let's dream on..and tell us what would be a dream you would like to see magament at WDW grant you, anything that would definitely make you happy and let's be realistic (no "I wanna rule the World" stuff). So...of goody! I go first!

This is the dream I would like WDW to grant me: A WDW resort where show quality, cleanliness and customer service initiatives are put forth before budget cuts and making shareholder happy sacrifice the Disney difference. That is all that would make me happy. Of course, I would not mind seeing anniversaries celebrated every 5 yrs like they used to do until 1996.

So now it's your turn.. what is your dream? A new parade? Meeting Mickey in the tunnel? Sailing IASW without the soundtrack on?? Tell US!!!

Next?

I know I usually put most of
my savings back into making the trip extra special so we will do a back stage tour or an Illumination cruise.

If it makes you feel better, my AP to TDR costs about $720 a year and I get absolutely NO discounts of any king there. I mean NONE! At least you know you will get your discount at WDW sooner or later, but those of us in Tokyo? NOTHING! ..and you are right, *WE* are the frequent visitors and should be treated accordingly.
Thanks for your response.

Next?

365 days in an Old Key West two bedroom apartment: $200,750
Food at Disney restaurants @ $100 per day: $36,500
Misc Expense @ $1,000 per month: $12,000
Two WDW annual passes (DVC Rate) @ $324 each: $648

Grand Total: $249,898

So there you go… less than $250K per year and I can live the dream. I can’t afford that myself, but I figure if I can get vbdad to sponsor me I’m good to go!!

I dream of a Disney with ample sitdown restaurants. Who needs this planning meals months in advance stuff. And then having to rush around "The World" trying to make your restaurant resevation times. Just put in more sitdown restaurants! Especially at the Magic Kingdom.

As for living at WDW... I think that's a great idea, provided you paid the necesary property taxes to Disney and Orange/Osceola counties as well.

WDW is a large, contained, and very controlled community. The need for good public transportation, and the opportunity for it is high.

I feel that cutting edge public transportation at WDW at large could serve as a public draw as much as a new park. A place where people can truly leave their car (and buses) behind when they spend their week on property.
