Morales, why did you go away? I really thought you were here to stay. Please come back & play, I'll do anything you say!!! Where did you go Morales? Morales!!!!! 
Often times, the "official" reason, makes your "feel" good, and accept the (moral) explanation as "reasonable". But, the "real" reason is almost always financial. "Money makes the world go 'round...."
There is nothing to feel good about as there was no official statement provided for "us" (the ever so loyal ATM machines that Disney considers to be "guests"). All we have, is an internal statement issued to the CM's that
Chesire Figment was so kind enough to share with us, that's all.
So, how could I possibly even consider this "reasonable" when Disney has yet to formally address the public regarding the issue. I think it's safe to assume they have no intention of doing so. Why? Because, Disney is simply enforcing guidelines that were already in place to begin with. So technically, if the information had not been leaked we would have been finding this out, the hard way at the FP entrance.
Yes,
TLSnell1981, we all know money makes the world go round. What do you
really want to say "again"? Tell us how you really feel.
You, and everyone else on this board know how Disney intends for you to use FP. You choose to do otherwise. I don't think you're immoral, nor do I think you are breaking any rules. I'm just pointing out that you make a deliberate decision to disregard the intent of the system, and it seems that you want everyone to think/say that's ok.
No one wants to take accountability anymore. They all want to blame XPass! I used FP's late, and I have no problem admitting that my late FP use may contributed in part to the changes. I think it could be a combination of both. I certainly don't believe using late FP prior to the announcement was an abuse. I've already said some 2000 posts back that I wasn't comfortable using that word.
CMs have posted that they were told that it was due to other coming changes...so we've got both reasons specified. No real reason to believe one statement of the other. But a LOT of the buzz about the changes going back over 6 months was to prepare for the upcoming system, and not about "abuse".
I thought you said, "most of us know better than to trust what the average CM says". And we were also warned 6 months ago by those same untrustworthy CM's that the late FP enforcement was coming.
Note that "controlling line flows" also does not imply that there was abuse going on that they wanted to end, but that better controls were needed for some reason...and one of the obvious upcoming reasons is the new system, which as previously stated would need rigid controls to be useful. And you might as well get people used to the idea before you through a giant curveball at them...
The same thing could be said about preparing the CM's for the new XPass system, they would need extensive training in preparation for Xpass. Based upon your accounts, most CM's don't even
know about XPass. Shouldn't Disney prepare the CM's
first for XPass and then the guests?
Only a lunatic would argue with that!
You're so mean, today. I just want to give you a hug.
~Oh well, the kids are asleep and I've got an action packed night tonight! The Amazing Race, The Oscars, The Apprentice & The Housewives and of course, DH, I've got him hooked, too! Oh noes, what has happened to my life, have I aged?
