A pirate's life for me

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

.@easywdw was one of my best & closest friends. His loss is heartbreaking for so many. Those who knew him best will never be able to replace the humor, kindness and lovable wit he brought in to our lives. He was the best.

Feels crowded @easywdw

Feels crowded

@derekburgan @BrianCooperArt_ “Josh Africa” still has me laughing. Such a perfect EZDubz story.

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

Feels crowded. @easywdw

@TheLeisureProf What makes this even more tragic is how often I see people say “nobody ever goes over there or rides the boat.”

ROA creates a place in the park that contrasts with others. It creates a certain atmosphere that allows itself to shine and in contrast other rides/places to shine too

@jagfanjosh I also liked being able to visit & park at the resorts without being interrogated.

We had that too

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

We had IllumiNations
We had 3am Extra Magic Hours
We had the Great Movie Ride
We had the Osborne Christmas Lights
We had Rivers of Light
We had Wishes
We had Magical Express
We had free fast pass

We had it all

@derekburgan @ItsTheBoat “Monocane, huh?” - @easywdw

Fully functional -It’s Tough to Be a Bug- was a great attraction.

Imagine that it’s 2015. You’re at Epcot just after sunset.

You’ve got a drink in hand. The Innoventions loop plays just over the steady noise of the Fountain of Nations.

You decide to make your way to World Showcase for a stroll around the lagoon before Illuminations starts.

In the year 2000 a 1 Day Ticket was $46
Keeping up with inflation, a 1 Day Ticket in 2025 should be $97

Instead it’s $184. That’s a 47% increase -over- the inflation rate

From 1990-2000 the one day ticket price went up just 10% over the inflation rate from $31 (90) to $46 (00)

@BrianPMiles 😢

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

That feeling when you’re missing WDW, and then you realize that the WDW you’re missing doesn’t exist anymore.

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

Ruining Epcot and plowing over the Rivers of America for a Cars ride is so insane.
Sucks.

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

what a life

[WDW News Today @WDWNT]

With the last ride on TriceraTop Spin concluded, Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama is extinct!

2002-2025

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

I hope Santa brings back IllumiNations

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

I liked when the theme parks at WDW had themes.

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

Sad for Muppet Vision 3D.
Nostalgic for what WDW used to be.
Apathetic about what WDW has become.

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

Grand Floridian 2-night stay.
Check-in 12/24. Check-out 12-26.

Two, three-day park tickets with Park Hopper.

Plus the new Premier Pass (at $449) for two people for 3 days:

$6,007

So it’s essentially $2K per person per day to stay at GF with a park ticket and premier pass.

[Old Bill @OldBillWDW]

Without sarcasm - I envy people that became fans of Disney Parks after the downturn in quality began, that simply don’t know what they’re missing.

WDW used to be *so* special, cool and financially accessible. WDW strays from those qualities with each new announcement.
