I'm sorry to hear you have had surgery, but I can see where a computer can help pass recovery time away.
I however, am one of the people whom you have insulted and offended with your posts...not just in this thread. I've read several of your posts throughout this board and haven't seen you say very nice things. It's all about you...you're inconvenienced...you don't like average people breathing your air and eating in the same restaurants...you don't even like the food on the cruise ship...
I cannot understand for the life of me: A) Why even go to Disney World anymore if you can't stand the peasants who you are forced to share your rich air with and GASP forced to EAT with making you unable to dine.
Why don't you vacation with the rich and famous? It must make your skin crawl to have to be elbow to elbow with the working class
I understand that you are speaking your mind, which we all do, but you continue to insult with each time you post. We all work hard for our money - maybe you don't, maybe you never have - but the
Disney Dining Plan is not responsible for your lack of sense before you open your mouth, so to speak.
If you desire to DINE and not just EAT, and are tired of lines in parks and other people's children, what have you...DON'T come here to complain about it and here's a thought...don't go.
I know the whole thing started because you have a hard time getting into a restaurant even when you can get on a plane, with little to no notice.
Do what the rest of us do, plan ahead. You can even call from the park from your cell phone (or have your nanny or the poor schmuck who has to carry your bags through the park) dial the number...I too have been lucky enough to take last minute weekend trips, with no advance ADR's, and have absolutely no problem getting in some place to eat. OR...GASP...get counter service!
I have traveled with and without the dining plan...the dining plan saves me a ton of money...for a family of three we saved well over $75/day. However, with or without a dining plan, a DDE card, etc...when I am on vacation, I will eat at nice restaurants. So does everyone else. And hey - if I can save money at the same time, even better! That means that I can either: 1) stay even longer or 2) make multiple trips and hopefully "bump" into someone like you and ruin their day by eating food that I PAY FOR WITH MY HARD EARNED MONEY.
And hate to tell ya...even at places like Olive Garden you can't get in right away, so what would make you think that it'd be any different in Disney World. We average people are EVERYWHERE
Oh...and do rich people "self-tag" or do their concierge's do it for them?? Can't buy a tag??????
