I have been, and continue to be, a DIEHARD WDW fan. I love going to the parks, and it always gives me a special feeling to be in "the World". Naturally, as much as we go to WDW, we bought into DVC. We love DVC! We've only stayed at VWL, but our experience was Wonderful!!
However, all these cutbacks are starting to make us regret our decision. Some of the most special things about staying at a WDW resort have been taken away, under the (false) pretense of Security, etc. Gone are E-nights and Early Entry. I mean, I realize Disney doesn't have to offer these, but they are perks we've gotten used to, and to lie and say that security is the main reason for these two cutbacks (unfairly) plays on our fears. Disney is strictly trying to save a few bucks. Whenever, we've done EE or E-night, if nothing else, security (i.e. IDing who was getting into the parks) was only heightened because they checked passes and IDs to make sure you were a resort guest and had paid for the right to attend these functions.
To get rid of EE and E-Nights, with shortened parks hours, creates HUGE crowds, no matter what time of year it is. If the magic kingdom is only open for 9 hours a days, it is going to be congested no matter what, because this makes for less time for so many people to experiece the attractions.
As much as we love Disney, we have gone so far as to discuss selling our DVC interest, just because it doesn't seem like such a great deal anymore.
Does anyone else feel like this, or are we being unreasonable?
