Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Absolutely not, not if it’s like this, I’ll just go to the one in California instead

You're not missing anything, WDW hasn't been worth the price of admission since 2019. This from a former WDW Employee.

As a former Disneyland cast member, I'm very interested to see the difference between the resorts. I should do it soon before Florida does even more despicable shit.

I've been to WDW, DL, and DLP. I last went to WDW in Dec 2020. It was terrible; the way they changed the fast pass system made it far more difficult to ride the rides. The cast members did not seem to even want to be there, and honestly, the magic wasn't there. I went to DL a year ago and it was fantastic. The cast members is in the groove, making the experience top tier, the crowds were having fun, and it was full of that Disney magic.

As for Disney Land Paris, skip it (I lived in Europe at the time). Zero magic, it felt like a six flags, no magic.

I think the pandemic might have had an effect on your experience at WDW.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You went during the winter covid wave before most people could get vaccinated and were surprised workers didn't want to be there?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

WDW was absolutely packed. Wall to wall people. It was December 31st when we went.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

All the more reason for the workers to not want to be there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As someone who lives near Buena Park, it seems like 80% of the people I meet worked there at some point in their life.

i really want to go to kennedy sc but not with all this crap happening in florida.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wanted to live in florida. I love the weather. It's been my dream to move there and now that the kids are grown up and I have the means to move there, I don't want anything to do with that state in its current form. It really sucks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Belize has basically the same weather and doesn't suck horribly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I will for sure look into retiring there, but as far as working, I'm kind of stuck here. Honestly, I had no idea Belize was that beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I've never been and will probably never go. We'll just settle with the other one in CA.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Same for me. I grew up in Florida and lived there for decades. I haven’t been back since 2018 and I don’t know if I ever will, which is a kind of sad feeling tbh.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I have to go to a wedding at WDW next year and I hate that I do.
