i wanted to bring this one back up again, only becasuse i've seen something this week that I haven't seen before. Now its no longer just Disney Groups, but groups or travel social media blogs and social media accounts that are talking about it in a negative way.The key there is Disney Groups. Those are groups of people that travel there regularly and don't want the change. The overwhelming majority of Disney World guests are first time or very infrequent travelers. That is who all of these changes are aiming for. The people who didn't know about FP+ reservations 60 days out that showed up at parks and couldn't get fastpasses for any top ride. The people who probably didn't even realize what Magical Express was, so didn't use it anyways. Those are the people all of these changes will benefit in the long run. Will Disney take a hit with their loyal fanbases in the meantime? Of course, but I think they believe that there will be 2 happy people to take the place of every 1 unhappy one that decides to never return.
Theme Park Tourist is one i follow, they arent just disney, they're all theme parks, and they just ran a piece on it.
I think it was Disney Food Blog, that ran a blog on it as well. There are a handful of others, generally these put out pretty positive things about Disney, this round it seems different.
