Irksome management decisons

[DNS]

I picked store hours, but I did not realize at the time that this is just for EMH. Honestly, none of them are big deal to me.
I did not realize there is a $10 fee for missing an ADR. So does that just apply to those restaurants that charge in advance?

[jillluvsdisney]

None of them bother me. I think the $10 ADR charge is a good thing for the same reason others before me have.

[Daddy Mouse]

Limited monorail hours Hasn't affected me personally. Yet I understand both sides. I think it is more of a financial issue than, but people staying at the monorail resorts feel it is a perk for them.
Shops closing immediately at park closing What is the rationale for this move? I would think there is probably a 30 minute to 1 hour when the shops would be makeing revenue. Maybe, this move should be examined and keep certain shops open for an hour.
$10 a head charged for missed ADRs at select restaurants I think it should be at all restaurants.

And the charge for skipping ADR's has been a long time coming. You may not realize it, but there are a lot of trolls out there that will schedule 2, 3, 4, or even 5 different ADR's for every meal just to cover places they may be during the course of a day. That's half the reason it's so darn hard to get ADR's these days.

I think those inconsiderate jerks should be charged a lot more than $10 ...

None of these changes really bother me.

But how are people able to make more than one ADR - the last trip I had two dinings within an hour of each other and I could not even get the second Seating until the first one was cancelled.

I was going to cancel one of them but I wanted to wait a couple of weeks in case our plans changed. We had some friends trying to decide if they wanted to eat with us but felt our first choice was too expensive. I ended up just canceling for that meal and we ate at Earl of Sandwich ( which they loved).

They do it by using multiples accounts or by calling in multiple times, rather than doing it online.

I must have missed the new rule about the missed ADR's. When did they start that? Not that it makes a difference to me because we never miss our ADR's

[DisneyDoug2]

What got me was the elimination of the EMHs at Animal Kingdom.

[Joannelet]

Are shops closing at regular park closing or when emh's end?
It would bother me a little bit if they closed right at regular park closing but not for emh.
The rest of the list doesn't bother me one bit. I feel that they are necessary.

[TheVBs]

I don't think any of these changes are going to impact us or the way we vacation at WDW, especially if we're talking about stores closing at the end of EMH, not regular hours. But, even if they close at regular hours, we usually do our shopping earlier in the day.

[wildernesslady]

The only issue I have is with the ADRs. What if you have an emergency/sickness that happens within the 24hr. mark? Hopefully there will be some flexibility if that happens and you wouldn't be charged.

[bigpoppadk]

I have no problems with any of these. For the $10 fee for missed dining reservations, may be those you who double book reservations will now noy do that. I am in favor of the charge. Only book reservations that you know you will use.

[ransam]

None of them impact me or bother me.

[Eric87]

None of them impact me or bother me.

Ditto

[RAIDER]

I voted for none of them
The $10 ADR penalty should have happened years ago and i welcome it as it was being abused .
The shops i dont have a problem with as people want to get home after a hard days work as well and their open all day anyway .

I should have added that I'm assuming they'll accomodate emergency dining cancellations.

The monorail thing, from all that I've heard, is safety related and not cost cutting related. Unless I hear differently from a credible source, that one bothers me not a bit.

That's what I've heard too, I agree.

I really don't see why anyone would be bothered by them closing the shops at the same time the park closes. I always thought it was kinda weird they stayed open later anyway.

Actually, I thought this one was weird. I could be completely wrong, but I thought the stores made a lot of money on folks on the way out.

Yeah, that stinks. The worst I have done is two adr's months ahead and one cancelled very quickly. Just letting adr's sit there blocking people stinks.

[Mogie]

none of these really affect me, but i could see how the monorail hours could have an effect on the efficiency of the bus system. Speaking of which didnt they reduce the number of buses recently to cut cost?

[MNDisney Dad]

When I first heard of the cancellation fee for ADR's, I thought the fee would be about $50. Was somewhat surprised it was only $10. Maybe $25 would have been a better deterant for the ones who make the multiple ADR's with the idea of going to which ever one they happen to be by at that particular time of day.

[kdsjjb]

We always hit the shops after closing. I don't want to take time away from attractions.

We're DVC owners at BLT and always walk from MK anyway. We drive everywhere else, so the monorail thing doesn't bother me.

I like the idea of the charge for missed ADR's.

[comicguy]

I'l be honest those decsions do not really bother me but I can see where the monorail descion would bother some people.
