You and Al have both been around long enough to know better.

I'm calling BS on this one.

Just MHO, YMMV

Your call, of course, Andy. But please know that I would never intentionally provoke the kind of debate that impugns people or even the kind that hurts feelings. I like thought-provoking debate, but the healthy kind that steers clear of emotionality.

Re: 4/24: Strollers & Spreadsheets

I think Disney is the one who brought 'strollers' into it all. There is no way they'd jack prices up 50% overnight and not provide ANY soft-story/explanation on their hardships introduced externally if the reasoning was due to external factors. This means the changes were probably internally motivated - either to alter usage or change operational costs

Re: 4/24: Strollers & Spreadsheets

Kevin, I think your post #71 says it all. The strollers are but a symptom, the grater issue is the declination of experience. Accounteers should be functionaries of the company, not the primary drivers! We need "park people" not business people.
BTW, the A and B tickets provided not only experiences, but kept the lines at D and E's shorter and added to the park.
