I went to the parks last May on a 1-day park hopper to catch the soft-openings of the Ariel attraction and the new Star Tours before the big summer crowds and tourists created impossibly long and hot lines. I was promptly turned away by the CM's standing guard, denied entry for not being an annual passholder. All that driving, expense and effort to see the new stuff, only to get burned (or punished) for not being having an annual passholder (which is very impractical for me). Nowhere did I see ANY information noting that only passholders and star wars geeks with reservations were allowed. I believe they do this unpublished exclusivity nonsense deliberately so people won't cancel plans to go to the parks and events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-61473069972514106302011-08-22T13:07:16.988-07:002011-08-22T13:07:16.988-07:00If you lined up for the main event of the Walt Dis...If you lined up for the main event of the Walt Disney Studios two hours before then you missed them. If you lined up three hours before then you missed them. If you lined up four hours before you missed them. Only the press and D23 Members made it in to the two-plus hour event. Royal screw up.

A 2.5hr line up just to barely make it into a panel?? Why not put screens up in the queue room so that overflow can still watch?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-7079287865399936472011-08-22T10:47:00.625-07:002011-08-22T10:47:00.625-07:00Yup!

I keep warning people about WDC and how they are totally taking advantage of them.

The carousel of projects was more like a travel expo hard-selling attendees on shelling out tons more money for an "Disney Adventure" In fact it had NOTHING of interest except the interactive Destini character. The presentations and panels were weak and not very interesting. The dispplays were bland and looked cheap and FIVE BUCKS for a soft-serve ice cream cone.. COME ON!!! The whole event in no way justified the price of admission so I've decided to not renew by D23membership nor am I going to any more Disney special events because they are over-priced and you just don't get very much for the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-9227706620476938482011-08-21T21:55:55.226-07:002011-08-21T21:55:55.226-07:00Too crowded.

At least with Destination D everyone is guaranteed to see all of the presentations. 14,000 attendees with a 4,000 person venue (the arena) or much smaller rooms equals very frustrated attendees. My grade for D23 is a D minus.<br /><br />LDCaspiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-34984953003569574932011-08-21T09:49:56.593-07:002011-08-21T09:49:56.593-07:00Any thought on the announcements about the return ...Any thought on the announcements about the return of The Tahitian Terrace and America the Beautiful? It was very vague and others I've talked to aren't sure exactly what they meant. We know the actual venue for TTT is still there, just needs updating but where would they do America the Beautiful. I say gut the top of innoventions and put it up there until they decide what to do with the show building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-46812158724062063702011-08-20T02:33:14.074-07:002011-08-20T02:33:14.074-07:00"Then it's all about managing expectation..."Then it's all about managing expectations..."<br /><br />Been doing this for the last decade or so.Spokkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244298044953214810noreply@blogger.com
