    Any pooh-sized friends who can share their experiences at Universal?

    Hello! I was hoping to find a thread on this topic, but I did not so I am posting. I am going to Universal for the first time since I was 12. I have heard that rides at Universal are not as "pooh-sized" friendly as Disney and I keep thinking about that. Does anyone have experience in this? Were...

    Lack of Guest Experience?

    It wasn’t an actual complaint, you can just leave a comment. And I didn’t make mention of any names or times or anything. Just a small comment of noticing. The only time I make an actual mention of something to guest relations is when I’m leaving a compliment, which I did today. And it’s...

    Lack of Guest Experience?

    I am really happy to hear that! This is the first time I’ve experienced anything less that “the Disney Difference” so it was just a bit of a shock. It’s a great trip otherwise though, so no real problem, I was more just curious if others had noticed a difference. So I’m glad to read that it’s...

    Lack of Guest Experience?

    Oh, I have definitely interacted with some amazing cast members as well who were friendly and courteous as I am used to seeing. I just hope the the few I’ve encountered are the exception and not the new normal.

    Lack of Guest Experience?

    I used to be one. We have high expectations for guest interaction. Ignoring guests and leaning on counters was always a big no no and would lead to a reprimand or at least being spoken to. Speaking to guests in a respectful tone was always mandatory. Disney has always been known for their...

    Lack of Guest Experience?

    I am here for 4 days. I am a well seasoned Disney visitor throughout my life and this trip has a certain distinction for rude/inattentive cast members. I have heard of this being a thing lately, but I’ve never noticed it until this trip. There have been several instances, but here are two...

    Thirteenth Official Disboards Meet in Kansas City! *INFO COMING SOON*

    It would awesome if at some point we could do something on a teacher break or closer to the middle of the area, like KC proper or something. I am pretty much limited to teacher breaks only because we do home visits on Saturdays. And if we even did something more central, that would be awesome...
