And to add we do not hate Disney to hate Disney. We are disappointed in the direction the company has taken Walt Disney World as it not only is not what we fell in love with in the 80s and 90s, but we think it's going in a bad direction that'll lead to fewer attractions, higher prices, and worse guest satisfaction. We see it as cashing in on reputation for profits now. We're worried because we do care a lot about either the Walt Disney Company's offering and/or its parks. I've met people who legitimately HATE Disney, it's movies, parks, and everything.
I can agree with this statement. As many of you know I go to Disney a lot and while I love a lot they have to offer, I also dislike some of their stuff. I also sometimes give them the benefit of the doubt. The majority of people on here I have zero issues with when it comes to the negative statements they make about Disney. I think where it sometimes goes too far is when people attack the Disney "lovers" on here. A handful of times I have really cringed at a anti-Disney posts because it is going after the people who might have a more positive outlook on future things. I don't think there is anything wrong with discussing future things for what they are instead of just stating, "It is Disney, they will mess it up and you all are dreaming if you think anything else will happen". So it is more those blanket negative comments that shut down a lot of the good discussions we have on Disney. Again, it is not the majority of people on here, just a select few.
I guess I come back to the Uni dark years, eventually it did get better and some positive things occurred after many many many bad decisions. So I see nothing wrong with discussing the positive aspects of Pandora, SWL, or TSL. Because there is positives, there is some hope that some of these things will be really good, and there is a lot of stuff to discuss. But when trying to discuss the positive sometimes you get people who just say, "You are all dreaming". What if that was all stated when HP1 phase was being built? Because based on Uni history that project could have had the same negative comments, but it didn't. Good discussions occurred. This board gained its popularity because of those good discussions. So I see nothing wrong with just letting people discuss this stuff. If you just want to post a one liner dig at Disney, how about you step back and decide to not do this and let the conversation continue. I have no problem with debating how long the land will take, what cuts are being done, etc. My only issue is with cutting down people for even thinking something in Pandora might be cool or TSL might help the park, or SWL might be an awesome addition and bring in the crowds. There is no reason people can't talk about these things without being called dreamers.
