My famliy is so sick and tired of Disney closing attractions they r taking a way the wonderful attractions that Walt Disney created we r all annual pass holders for over 30 years and WILL NOT b returning ever again dear old BOB IGER has really destroyed a lot all he cares about is his money and those stock holders when Michael Eisner was n charge it was great just like Walt Disney wanted and now that is being destroyed it’s disgusting and it was all started with a MOUSE that Walt Disney created thank u Walt Disney for those wonderful memories and god bless u and they need to bring back those original attractions it’s ok to build new but LEAVE the ORIGINALS ALONE
As a foot note when people go to Disney u need to respect all people and especially Disney cast members when someone is told they r not to do something then respect that cast member and pay attention that they r only do is their job over the years my famliy has seen verbal augments and a few times almost coming to fist fights and there is no excuse for that if u that kind of person stay out of there
