Re: Today's Disney News from the front page...

You can nearly set your watch by when these stories come out. We must be running out of sites around the country they can use for these stories.

Re: New old CEO

Yes it had been 6 years since we had been over there but I reckon easily that I spent 30-40% more than I expected due to the price pressures. Wasn't one of the "reasons" for most of the Disney price increases that it would lower numbers in the parks. Did you find that there were fewer people or are...

Re: WDW 50th

So Anthony - how did you go in WDW? Since we got back it has been absolutely hectic, with work, and other things going in life, so haven't been on the boards for a while. We had a great time, as you would expect, but there were 2 things that was an absolute surprise. 1 was the cost of everything. T...

Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

We're contemplating booking the Hawaii-Sydney cruise, but seriously can't move past the pricing yet.

Re: End of Magical Express at WDW

We used a service called Wingz a couple of times, then we couldn't use them a couple of times because of availability. They were good, but we found Ubers to be just as good. IN Orlando, we just got a cab from the airport to Universal and then from Universal to Disney, we went out to the front and gr...

Re: New old CEO

One of the aspects of our trip (which seems so long ago now back in Jan/Feb) was the prices of everything, but sadly our observation was not limited to Disney alone. However prices in Disney across the board, including Genie+ were out of control. But prices in non Disney restaurants, merchandise and...

Re: happy Birthday to you...

How did we all end up being over 50?

I was still in my 20s when I first came to this club!
Yep I had 2 young children, I think both under 10. Now I have a son-in-law and a daughter near on 30 years old.

Re: WDW 50th

Yes - I thought that happened to you on that cruise (snow I mean).
Fingers crossed we won't experience that again. But the way the global climate is going, anything is possible.

Re: Two new cruise ships!

The casino is one of the things that I was also wondering about. I'd bet they won't include a Casino. It would damage the Disney Cruise Line brand I feel.

Re: Today's Disney News from the front page...

This latest entry seems to be a full stop when you look at the past few pages of headlines that Greg has loaded. It's been a good chronicling of the ails at Disney over the years.

Re: New old CEO

He seemed to have lost the plot. I just hope that this next time around they replace Iger with someone less focussed on control and the bottom line, and more aligned with what Disney is about. It would be good if Iger dumped Genie+ price or cost by end of the year.

Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

Just had a look at the status of the Australian cruises, and many of the stateroom categories are sold out. Even Concierge on the 6 day out of Sydney is sold out, despite the crazy ridiculous price.

Re: Today's Disney News from the front page...

And isn't it hurting. We couldn't buy our DL passes until they released them, which happened to be after the new price was released. And the Genie+ will now be more pricey for us. Lucky we enjoy going so much ...

Re: happy Birthday to you...


Thanks. Hard to believe I'm only 42! (You start counting backwards once you reach 50, right?)

Greg
Hard to say Greg, once I got past 50, I started to forget things, many of which included what you're supposed to do past 50.
