Those are really cute.Thanks to whoever gave the suggestion of Hot Topic for Disney tanks (well I thank you but my wallet doesn't...lol). Got my 4 tanks in the mail today and I'm ordering 2 to 4 more!View attachment 159814 View attachment 159815 View attachment 159816
As promised...I gave it until Friday (and even until today), and we're officially off to Universal instead of DAK on 4/28.
Dis wants us to plan EVERYTHING in advance, yet can't give us park hours 2-3 weeks in advance. I'm done. Love WDW, but if we don't take a stand they'll keep giving us this garbage.
Love the upgrades to all the parks, but maybe we should just plan our next family trip for 2020 and beyond.

That would be too funny!
Great idea! I think I'll do the same. Now I need to see what the turnaround time is for delivery. Off to read up.
I'll be in and out, but checking the blog now and then.
Me, either! Until someone in this thread clued me in! And now I'm going broke! Haha
I am really sorry everyone. I feel like I raised your hopes and then they got dashed. But the guy who call me, searched my name and reservation information and call me on a totally different number then I had given in my message. He's the one that told us to April 2 date. I feel like I let everyone down and I'm really sorry
Oh no!!! YOU didn't let us down...,,DISNEY did!!! We appreciate any and all information! It's frustrating for everyone, including you I'm sure, when they keep changing their minds. If they call again, please share whatever they say!!I am really sorry everyone. I feel like I raised your hopes and then they got dashed.

I think it's damage control. My overall suspicion it that some executive in an ivory tower made the decision that this was going to open on Earth Day, and everyone in the trenches is scrambling to try to achieve that.I think the part I find most confusing out of all of it, why are they calling? Calling to give wrong information is worse than not calling. Are these underlings calling out of their own incentive or is someone higher up directing them to call? My first instinct is they are calling with the best of intentions but honestly, if they don't have concrete info to give out I think they are doing more harm than good.
I believe if they are giving false information just to appease people it's way worse than not calling at all.
I wish I could figure out the motivation behind their phone calls. Because they sure didn't have to do them. People getting them weren't expecting phone calls.
The whole thing is just odd

Well, there are several of us in the same boat...maybe the rest of you can just push us out on the River.... just please don't set fire to our boat!I am really sorry everyone.

I definitely don't think anyone here blames you! We know you were trying to help your fellow loungers with what seemed like reliable information, and we appreciate it!

If they blame you, they should blame me also. I got the same phone call with the same information and posted it here too. It's baffling to think of the reason behind those phone calls, if they actually knew there would be no blog post about RoL today.
I think the phone calls were a good idea but only if they provide accurate info. Providing dates that don't pan out are not accomplishing any good will. Heck if it was all about good will a phone call to say they sympathize and are sorry that they don't know when it will open or when further info would be available would do much more than saying an update will come on Saturday knowing one won't. Or saying one will come next week, knowing it likely won't. Honestly is better at accomplishing good will than saying what the person on the other end of the phone wants to hearI think it's damage control. My overall suspicion it that some executive in an ivory tower made the decision that this was going to open on Earth Day, and everyone in the trenches is scrambling to try to achieve that.
Like I said, I came away with the feeling that they are doing what they can to give out good info, but if there isn't any to be given out, they are doing what they can. (especially after pressing her by asking why it was delayed and she answered that she didn't honestly know, and that she would tell me if she did.
They don't have to call at all...they could just sit back and wait to announce it when they do know something. But those calls are generating goodwill, at least for me.
Was it ever on track to open on time? Maybe, but not likely, from the sounds of things.
Is it still do-able? Who knows....but in my heart I think that the people who are calling are sincere when they apologize and say they will follow-up when they know something.
Am I a gullible, Midwestern, Minnesota-nice kind of person? Maybe. But I truly appreciate the calls.
