Personally I do not care…because it is a bar…However, I do care only from the perspective that what “seems” to be more restrictive is just a very, very small hint of what is to come with the Chinese Communist Party controlling Disney. Now that they have control they can more effectively manipulate and influence (destroy) communist dissenters from within their own homes, through their children – Unless the Parents are aware and take action to turn away from all of Disney.
This has nothing to do with pandering to a political faction and everything to do with doing the least and still raising prices. Entertainment has been cut down to a bare minimum. They no longer have The Citizens of Hollywood, who brought so much to the Hollywood Studios experience. Gone are the African acrobats in Harambe, as well as the roving troubadours in Fantasyland. There has been a hiring freeze for front of house castmembers for the past 2 years. Castmembers have been forced to do more with less and are expected to keep up the same level of hospitality and enthusiasm when they are being worked to the bone. They are constantly dealing with more restrictions, cuts n their benefits and perks, and doing the jobs formally handled by 2 or 3 castmembers. They all do their best to give the service expected in less than stellar circumstances Until the paying public starts speaking with their wallets and to the company itself through emails and letters, as well as social media, the prices will continue to rise and the experience will continue to decrease.
I’ve been going to Disney now for going on 45 years and have really seen the decline in Disney perks. Those new to Disney will not know what I mean, but Disney is now only about Money and pleasing it’s stock holders. I could literally write pages of all the cuts Disney has made to downgrade the experience from when it was truly “Magical”. No use commenting to this unless you experienced these back in the 80’s and 90’s. Money, money, money is ruining the world.
I agree 100 % . I’ve been going to Disneyland & Disney World for 50 years and a DVC member for 24 years. It truly used to be magical. They’ve eliminated so much, however, continue to raise prices for everything. The Magical express from the airport started your Disney experience and it ended with the same bus ride when departing. Everything is about money. Our neighbor works for Disney and said the Genie + is a cash cow they love and will only continue to raise those prices. The parks are in decline and it shows. They’re not even as clean and maintained as they used to be. I could go on and on too. As for Olga’s, it’s a rip off. I don’t understand how Disney can be saying the CM’s are promoting drinking when they’re trying to flip tables as fast as they can (your timed on your stay) to sell a few more expensive drinks. And don’t even get me going on the cruise line.
Olga’s is overrated. We went for the 2nd time in February made the reservation and were given a standing table with 8 other people which was unexpected when we were thingkin of having a relaxing drink and soaking up the atmosphere. It was expensive for the drinks and honestly have had better from the carts around the park
Disney did Walt wrong when they added alcohol so they could get more money. Terrible how parents are drunk and they let their young children to fend for themselves. Disney is just trying to cover their mistakes at the cast members’ expense. That’s not okay. You’re not the magical place in the world anymore.
Comments for Disney Adds New Restriction to Hundreds of Cast Members, Guest Complaints Flood

The world is becoming decidedly less fun and seems Disney is following the political left’s penchant to cater to the whinging few…
Lynne
I totally agree. So sad we just can’t have fun! Wokeism at its best!

The Harambe Acrobats are back. I’m hoping to see the Citizens of Hollywood again but I think HS is changing more to IP than “Old school HW.”
