You just got to look around them. If anything does happen and you are unhappy, Disney will always take care of you no matter what. They have always come through for my family and i. I wish all you first timers the best of luck, say hi to Mickey for me and tell him I will be there as soon as I can! I know he just misses me to peices! LOL! *thumbs up*) I will be there Feb 9th and 10th.. I will let him know... I agree with you 100% Hope you make it to WDW soon as you can...

But I am not going to apologize for saying that the MK does need more TLC and it is the most park in need of upgrades, inside and out, and that's based on my experiences with the other 4 MK parks out there. The differences are obvious. You just need to get out more often and see what I am seeing. Anyone who defends the MK as this wondrous and totally rocking experience, simply doesn't know any better. Sadly, I do... and forgive me for sounding conceated ont his." You don't sound conceited at all. And I haven't been to either of the MKs in Asia either, and I still know you are correct. I can see how first-time visitors to WDW who read some posts here might be taken aback by certain posts of TDLFAN, the dearly departed WDW1974, and others like myself. But that's life. I would advise anyone thinking of visiting WDW to come on down. It's such an amazing place that words don't do it justice. Just incredible really. ... But that doesn't mean the MK isn't in serious need of TLC or that Epcot hasn't been watered down or that the Studios has no identity or that resort upkeep ain't what it once was. It also doesn't mean that the MK, in many of our views, doesn't compare favorably to DL or DLP or TDL. You need balance. This place wouldn't be the great, creative, diverse community that it is if everyone just wanted to discuss which dwarf was their favorite or which building is best to stay at in Coronado Spings. It's a testament to all (or 99.99% who post here) that so many views are represented. Off soapbox ... oops ... slipped on that damn soap ... ouch ... think I sprained my ankle ... it's OK don't all rush over here. I'll be fine. Luv limps back to his sofa ...

In fact, I didn't say that you said "all of the time". But you can't deny that you will tell first time visitors to stay away from the MK, cuz it's nowhere near the quality of DL or TDL. But I didn't know you turned in "a" complement card - keep 'em coming!

I guess for TDLFAN we can start calling this the Crying Board... truth is you think you had this board to yourself.. NOT ANY MORE... I did look back at your post... life must be tough your you huh... I bet you were one of those CM's members that didn't smile and say nice nice to the guests...

But neither of you are helping your case any with the attack posts. Drop back a bit and enjoy the vibe for a few days, huh?
Originally Posted By vbdad55 I agree with Danny, many of us have been around here a long time and have had disagreements in the past, but once you find yourself namecalling to other posters, it's time to step back and realize the topics just aren't that serious man, and you've reached an unhealthy place. Whether one is right or wrong at that point really ceases to matter. It's why I left the World Events section for good about 4 - 5 months ago, let's not turn this into that also. If people want to get nasty -- stop by WE - there are more than a few people there who will be glad to greet you. just IMHO
Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>truth is you think you had this board to yourself.. NOT ANY MORE...<< What a stupid remark to make. I am here because I want to and because unlike you...I give LP some material of my for the enjoyment of those who otherwise can't visit the other Disney properties in the World. Something I am most blessed to be able to do. But as long as you decide to participate in LP, you will be seeing my name here as well... Get used to it, because as long as I am not asked to leave, I ain't going nowhere. >>life must be tough your you huh... I bet you were one of those CM's members that didn't smile and say nice nice to the guests... << I don't have to explain my life or myself to you or anyone in these boards...besides, many already know too much about me to be honest... and many would love to be in TDLFAN's shoes as well. And as for being an ex-CM at WDW in the early 80s (I think you are too young to even know about what it was like at WDW back then...), 4 yrs of Disney experience, and 47 guests commendations later may give you an idea of what kind of CM I was... But again.. I don't have to explain myself to you.

I tend to believe that for the most part anyone that finds their way on these boards are probibly able to do the same. And for those that aren't getting disillusioned about WDW is probibly the least of their problems. It's funny most newbies get their feet wet by asking resort/park questions. I remember lurking around for about a year before posting anything. Not so much the case lately. When I opened this thread I thought it was going to be info and advice for the first time guest and unfortunately so will some first timers. So hear a word to the wise. Don't stop reading posts by those that some think are just negative as you will miss a world of knowledge and some really valuable tips(not to mention some world class pics as well).

But again.. I don't have to explain myself to you) You know what, I came to this board to help others in there trip plans... I don't need to be on this board for 4 or 5 yrs to know Disney, nor do I have to be a CM ... I've been visiting Disney World for just about 25 yrs... and I pretty much know every square inch of Disney property. I don't have the knowlege of a CM of what goes on behind the scenes, but I can help anybody with food and or resorts and help them.. I DO have a problem with a CM member (TDLFAN) who slams where he works. with 47 guests commendations you would think that you act like your proud of the company you work for... One of the promises a CM makes when he gets hired at Disney is to uphold the image of Disney on and off the job... your are a disgrace to your job and Disney.. You steer visitors away from WDW with negative remarks and tells them to go TDL or DL.. you can cry all you want and threaten to leave the board....I won't miss you.. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY THAT DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.... You need all your buddies to protect you on here... Name calling .. you called that lady that her husband got hurt on EE a liar... let me know where you work I will be back next month... I want to meet you in person...
