Starbuc71 162 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I apologize if someone else reported this but I think (or hope)Disney will consider singing different tunes if more reviews like this come out..........99.999999999% they won't.

Ok Grumpy AKA Cindy~~ 9 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 That is interesting! Calling it like they see it. I have never really looked at it like this "Paying $99 per day to be trapped in a park surrounded by other peoples' children and fully grown adults who like Disney? No thanks. " But it is! LOL! As far as the water goes it can be that expensive here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 My mother "laughs" at the fact that Disney actually got people, to pay these high ticket prices...to go stand in line, to see a character (when I was growing up, they just wandered the park). That, and she's pretty sure that Disney's main goal is to keep everyone "in transit". The signage isn't always the best on property and sometimes the buses can run pretty slow... so she says that Disney's main goal is just to keep you stuck moving from place to place and then, once you do get there, pay to wait in line to see a person in a costume (lowest overhead ever!). That's her take on it anyway :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 99.999999999% they won't. I think you may be a little low on your number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GOBA Mom Lynn 18 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well, that was all very interesting. Looking at the original article listing all 10 of their disappointing places makes me wonder what she actually expected when going to those places. I guess if you just look at all the tourist brochures, and not do any other research before you go anywhere on vacation, you'll be disappointed. We all know the arguments pro/con for WDW. Otherwise....A couple of years ago we spent the day in Niagara Falls NY (we didn't have passports, so just stayed Stateside). It had been a number of years since we'd been to either side of the Falls, and yes, the Canadian was always the "nicer" side. But we were pleasantly surprised with our visit. I think I almost preferred the natural State Park atmosphere of the NY side, to the honky tonk of Canada, even though the view is different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I don't think that person would be happy anywhere. And why would you pay $2.50 for a bottle of water when any counter service will give you ice water for free? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 771 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Some people will complain no matter what the situation. Those people usually will find the negative no matter what is told to them or their experiences. Staying away from these people makes a happier day. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I have found that people that complain about the cost can never be happy. They start out with a negative attitude and you sow what you plant. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 And with AAA Premium is $68. We need to rethink our visiting times. The only downside is we won't be able to see the Christmas decorations. But how much is that worth? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks Disney for being magical on our wallets when we can't go If you owned the Fort, what pricing structure would you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 If you owned the Fort, what pricing structure would you use?I would use a very similar price structure but keep/bring back the RC wagon, Settlement TP wagon, log benches, trash cans that look like tree stumps, put the lawnmower from the lawnmower tree in a climate controlled case in the TCD barn, hammocks at the beach, make your own pizza night at Trails End.....i could go on.You'll notice I did not add RC or the FWRR to this list since that is pie in the sky. The other things however are relatively inexpensive to fix/bring back. The little things matter.I still love the Fort but would love it that much more if they brought the above listed nuances back.

Starbuc71 162 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 If you owned the Fort, what pricing structure would you use?I understand business and totally get why they offer lower prices on sites during their slow time, but the average family with children in school can never benefit from these prices and have to pay top dollar. Again, I understand the logic behind it just like when I worked for the hotel industry. The one price thing I think I have a legitimate complaint on is the seasonal pass with the blackout dates. Just about Every single days that our kids are out of school is considered a black out date including a majority of the summer bit forces you to buy an annual pass. I guess for the grown up kids and retires it a plus. Just my daily venting. I'm glad we can still afford fort pricing and annual passes. I lot of people can't these days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 You'll notice I did not add RC or the FWRR to this list since that is pie in the sky. At today's prices, I think we deserve pie in the sky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
