Walt Disney World Vacations

Friday March 28, 2008
If you're planning your summer vacation, your thoughts may be turning to Orlando and Walt Disney World. Where to stay, is one big question. Orlando has so many choices, from luxury resorts that welcome kids, to NickHotel (with onsite water parks, and Nickelodeon theme), to budget-minded family-friendly hotels.

But there are many who will only stay "in the World". The Disney World resorts -- Luxury, Moderate, and Value-- all meet a high standard, and have the Disney ambiance; and all -- even Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground-- confer a great set of perks.

Free shuttle from the airport, Extra Magic Hours in the theme parks...

I unsuccesfully tried to renew our annual all park passes. Since I found I couldn’t get anyone on the phone at WDW without a LONG delay. I e-mailed WDW and was told how happy you were to see I wanted to renew our passes. You never answered a question I asked. Each time I contacted you after the original time you said you would get back to me in 3-5 business days. Last message from you was 3-24. Haven’t heard since. I said I wanted Howard Bowman to get my message. Never heard from him either. We have visited you every year since 1973. Brought our children, now we also bring our grandchildren. This year we were going to stay at WDW campground with our 38′ Newmar MH. In 2009 we HAD planned to celebrate our 50 anniversary in your hotels with children/grandchildren & friends.
We have a large stack of unused daily passes I am uncertain what to do with. This year we are staying off WDW property. We are going to visit Sea World/Busch Gardens/Kennedy Space Center, etc. Since you obviously didn’t want to communicate with us, we bought our annual passes outside WDW. Mr. Bowen’s disinterest in our decades of loyality to Disney will save us many thousands of $$$$$$$. Although WDW was a comnmon bond our generations had , that will now end. Our 50th will be celebrated without Disney. If your records are available into the 1960’s you will see we even had Disney comic’s delivered to our children at home. I even have hand painted mickey & minnie’s given to retiring employees of Walt. To get it off the market, I even purchased a rare Snow White pornographic movie that was filmed in Germany by Adolf Hitler to embarress Mr.Disney
I am ashamed to see,that now it appears that profit $$$$$$$$$ is All the new directors of WDW care about.
