Stupid Guest Tricks

This week someone decided that the fireworks should be at 9 pm with Electrical Parades at 10 and midnight. This is a departure from the typical parade - fireworks - parade schedule that dominates MK schedules.

Now, we all wondered "why oh why" did someone decide to mess with the time honored tradition of camping out for 4 hours before parade (make that first parade) then enjoy fireworks.

Here is the funny part. People are not lining up four hours in advance for the Electrical Parade. No way.... they do it to be on Main Street for the Wishes fireworks!

How do I know? Well, this week they are lining the streets for the 9 pm fireworks...then are leaving en mass! Yup, the flood out of MK is outrageous after fireworks.

With huge attendance in MK this week, the majority of the guests LEAVE before the first parade. And woe unto you if you are on Main Street no moving when that crowd starts moving.

While I was not a big proponent/supporter of the new schedule (it always worked the other way), I say "Yes, keep the new schedule! Have the fireworks first...then let them leave." For those who say, "then who is left for the parade(s)?" I say, "why make them stay and see a parade they do not want to in order to see the fireworks that they are only interested in seeing?"

So let's see....guests flood into MK to see the new parade FoF. And THOUSANDS every day leave right after that parade. Another wave of guests flood into MK in time for the fireworks, then TENS of THOUSANDS exit the park before our night parade "DEP".

Maybe the guests are trying to tell us something? I know what they have told me. Actions are louder than words. I just wonder if Disney Corp is listening?

Have they ever listened?

The guests have already paid their money, so why would management care what they do. The money is collected and spent and what ever the guests want to do is beside the point.
