Well after a lot of road closures we finally got here at 10:30 his morning. Got passes and headed straight for the park. The security is very high which is reassuring.
But once you get in the park your greeted by grinding noise and a load of dust floating through the air from the builders repairing the floor. Then in side the main entrance the station is covered by unsightly scaffelholding. They have not even covered it with a themed screen. Then it got no better We headed to the area that usually has Santa in with all the wonderful Xmas trees and yet again nothing.
Even in Annette diner there was no dancing and the usual toy for the kids
Comen on Disney
Buck up your ideas.
I've never seen them dance at Annette's, and have been there about 8 times in the past 2 years.
I have seen the dancing but I'm talking 6 years ago. In my 19 years of visiting I've never had a toy though...
The only toy we've ever had is the Frisbee, Ive never seen the dance, my brother has, just seen them coming down the stairs on roller boots- heart in my mouth moment.
1. Yes there's a lot of scaffolding at Main Street USA station. It's neccesary.
2. Santa's Village is not there this year, Santa is at the Meet Mickey pavillion. Instead there's Arendelle Market.
3. Annette's Diner only has the Grease dancing when someone complete's a Maxi Incredible Burger.
A little research goes a long way....
Oh i did get the frisbee! They used to dance all the time but I guess that's changed. Plus I found it a bit annoying.
I found it amazing when I went. The scaffolding did not bother me at all, the magic was still alive. I did not hear any of the noises you complain about. I often find posts like these can worry people who have never been before/not been in a long time as it makes it seem worse than it is.
Before I went some people were saying the green fencing was awful, I was very worried this would ruin the experience but it didn't, like, at all. I was like 'oh there's that green fencing.... is that it?' So as a newbie who visited two weeks ago I can assure people it's actually lovely!
(Not to say your points aren't valid, as I can understand why some people would be annoyed, but come on, it's a great place. Unless there was brown sludge everywhere, or scaffolding on the castle, I don't think anything could ruin it.)

Tottally agree. Not everyone gets "irritated" by the same things, so it does seem scary to people who have never been/haven't been in a while when someone only mentions the bad things that went on.
I think everyone should go with an open mind, people have different opinions.
Sorry to hear about the bad start, its such a bubble burst when what you've been getting excited for doesn't quite live up to it. I hope that your second day is much better darrenwest1.
The fencing don't bother me.
The dancing has stopped because 1 of the staff hurt them selves apparently. You used to get your meal in a car and a free frisbee. The noise is workers gutting up the concrete pavement.
Thanks.
Well we spent all day in the Disney studios today and had a great time
The only down side was that while my daughter was in a toilet cubicle some low life scum bag stole her little handbag from under the cubicle wall .
By the time she had got dressed and came out crying the thief had all ready done a runner
I hope that lady that did this has a car crash in the way home
She had been given a new camera the day before as a early Christmas gift.
But other than that we had a great day
Did you report the left? I know Disney take things like that very seriously.

That's complete bs.
It hasn't stopped. It's just only been done when someone manages to complete a Maxi Incredible Burger.

I think you raise a good point, polarvixen.
DLRP Wonders, I'm not sure why you come on here when it seems like everybody just irritates you. I've seen condescending and downright rude responses from you a number of times on here, and was recently the recipient of one of them. What is there to gain from it?
Back to the thread...
I'm glad most people have been having a good time despite all the work at the moment. Good to know that Disney is trying to make it as unobtrusive as possible!

Because some here are not always the "friendliest"... ("biggest" is up for debate ::)) I for one don't always have the guts to ask something because some here bite your head off :-X
There are no stupid questions! Only stupid answers :o

Just because it is the friendliest one doesn´t mean it is actually really friendly :P
That's a shame, really, as I'm not sure what's to be gained from people being unpleasant online. Rolo, I don't think there are any stupid questions either. Sometimes it's hard to find answers if you don't know exactly what to look for, and that's why this forum is, for the most part, an excellent resource, and I've had some really helpful replies and learnt a lot from browsing here. It's just a shame that some people spoil it for others. Keep asking those questions!
@onceuponadream
Thanx!! I will keep asking those questions ! Even the stupid ones ;D ;)
For the most part I learn from reading on this forum and the dutch one.
Questionwise it sometimes feels like it's only justified to ask a question after extensive research online. (for the record 99,99% of the people here have been absolutely helpful and kind :-*)
I'm a proud disney newbie (august was our first trip to DLP) so I sometimes have newbie questions :-[
Don't let some people put you off, I am so happy to talk DLP I get emails from people in my organisation I've never even met emailing me asking questions as I've (somehow! ;D) got a rep as a Disney mad lass! So I'm more than happy for anyone to PM me at any point to ask any question - definitely not saying I have all the answers but always happy to chat and tell you what I know :D
@twentythingamabobs
thanx!
Can confirm dancing still happens in Annette's. Double helping last night with a table of teen/early 20s guests invited to join in the second song "Think".

In januari is our second trip so fingers crossed ;D

My daughter was still crying when we where reporting the theft and they cheered her up and offered her lunch with a character and also gave her a voucher to buy some pin badges.

Thanks

If this was aimed at me then I really don't understand it
I have not been in friendly to anyone
Just because I said there where a few things wrong.
Surely the basis of a forum is a place where everyone is entitled to a opinion.
Just because you don't agree with mine.
Darren, don't worry; it wasn't aimed at you. It was aimed at the post before the quote where a user claimed that something was "complete bs".
agreed Darren- not meaning you. everyone is entitled to their opinions that wasn't what I meant. half the time here were being asked for our opinions. but there's no need to refer to other people's comments as bs or put others down
I must admit I thought that was little harsh too. Plus one CM decked it while serving food on roller-skates last time I went so I reckon that is why they've cut down the dancing and roller skating.

That's great news. Cast members are rumoured to have a "no crying child" rule and authorised to do a lot to make kids happy again.
Well I went there again tonight and yep they where dancing again
Maybe the guys broken English and my poor understanding I got it wrong.
Had another great day today
Just sitting down now to a beer at the hotel.
Spent nearly 150 euros on Xmas decs today
And ques for 2 hours to see Santa.
I have been told that ice skating is no longer available at the hotel New York and they have some cars there
My feet are killing me.last day tomorrow.
We leave the park at about 6pm
glad disney staff are doing their best to keep your little one happy. just the way it should be

Yes after a shakey start we have had the best time ever.
And the staff have been amazing.
Apart from some CM's at the BPA (especially when dealing with disability questions) my overall experience with CM's is that they go above and beyond their "call of duty" to make sure you/I have a great time at DPL.
It especially shows with CM's who interact a lot with visitors because of their function (like the CM's that work around the parade, roping off certain areas etc.) - I have never seen any of them behave less than fabulous.

Hear-bloomin-hear! About time somebody else spoke up about a certain member on here. I first came on this forum a couple of years ago to ask some really basic questions about random things like hairdryers and breakfast and car parks and everyone was fantastically helpful. I was never made to feel silly for asking questions and people went out if their way to make me feel welcome and excited about my very first trip.
It makes me sad that some first (or second or third) timers might not ask those same random questions or attempt to answer another persons queries in case someone tells them they should do their research or that they're talking bs.
Friendliest forum still? Yes, I think so. Let's not let one person's bad attitude ruin someone else's trip planning... Ask/answer away people!!!!
