My favorite rides are down during my trip!!! UGHHH!!!
I just found out that Toy Story and One Man's Dream will be down during my entire trip this August! I already knew that Small World and the Liberty Boat would be down. Not to mention that I am missing MSEP by 6 lousy days! I can't figure out why Disney would close so many things at the same time! UGHH!!! If I wasn't inside my 45 days, I would cancel the trip! I am soooo bummed right now!

I genuinely feel sad for you. You must feel so disappointed. Focus on the attractions that will be open and the fact that the crowds should be decreasing. It does seem like too many attractions down at the same time.

I see by your signature block that you go once or twice a year. Just consider this an opportunity to plan another visit when the refurbs are done. Just enjoy being in the world.

How disappointing! I just figure that I'll certainly need to miss a ride or two (or sometimes 3) that are on my favorites list regardless of when I go. As already noted, time to put those rides on your plan for your next trip!

I'm so sorry! We had the TTA/Space Mountain down during our last trip, and it wasn't quite the same without our many TTA rides, while DH is on Space.
But, I'm glad Disney keeps things up, and it gives me an excuse for another trip.

My biggest disappointment is Toy Story. I checked the list out before making our ressies to make sure it was still up. When I checked the park hours the other day, I couldn't believe it when I saw it would be down. Plus we have to sign up for vacation time in October for the following year and there isn't much chance to change it around once it is made. So, switching to a week sooner or later isn't an option or we would definitely be going to see MSEP! I know these rides don't seem to be the most exciting for most but Toy Story was actually one of the biggest reasons I just HAD to go this year. I totally love it!! And, Small World has been my fave since I was 2 and we already missed it a few times when it was down for a major refurb.
Yes, we will go again, but you have to think of this in terms of "what if four of the coasters were down at the same time?" That is how it feels for me. Thanks for letting me vent.
And yes, Disneylover91, we should sue!

So sorry! I would be really disappointed too.

I understand, as we'll be in the same boat. We're actually missing MSEP by a mere one day. If I didn't have non-refundable plane tickets and everything else just about all set, I'd consider changing my plans. I'm with those that suggest you start planning yet another trip!
At least you find a way to get there frequently. It's been 7 years since our last trip! Who knows when the next one will be? Enjoy the many other things there will be to do on your trip. That's my plan.

It's always upsetting when rides are down, I know my girlfriend has never seen Small World after a couple of attempts, it always seems to be down. I'm hoping more won't be released for September!

UGH! Sorry! That <snip>

What a great excuse to try get to try something new!
It does <snip> that your favorites are down, but there's so much to do at WDW there are always things that get skipped over. Maybe you'll find a new favorite!

Unfortunately, Small World isn't planned to go up again until October! Sorry she will miss it yet again!

Except that we go enough that there really isn't anything left we need to try. And yes, since we go often in the eyes of some, to us, it isn't near often enough!

We give up going other places and some luxuries in order to go every year. If I had my way, we would live in Orlando and I would be a cast member.
There is always another trip planned! LOL! But our vacation schedule makes it difficult to plan around refurbs and special engagement parades.
I understand your dilemma with airline tickets. Though I wouldn't lose near as much money, I found out the day after I could change ressies with no fee that Toy Story was down. Plus we couldn't get a vacation any other time anyway. We will make the most of it but I will be very distraught over it.
