    Same price, but getting less:

    Disney World and Disneyland have yet to restart their tram services to and from parking lots, forcing visitors to walk nearly a mile to enter and exit the parks. Some Disney fans are acting as though the company is a kind of greedy Cruella de Vil, willing to slaughter cute puppies and turn them into coats for a profit.

    "Customer service is gone at Disney," says commenter James E. on Facebook. "It's all about maximizing profit now."

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      A mile for a six year old is a pretty good walk on a Florida parking lot.

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        Yes, that is pretty bad.

        I have taken my mother and babies into the Disney parks. There were times when they would have had real trouble getting from parking to the park without a tram.

          I believe the park to park trams are still running, it’s the parking lot trams that are the problem.
