We are in the month to month boat. So extending really does nothing for us. It is just evaporated money. I see the park doing zero for us in this aspect. Sort of the similar boat of Platinums are in with degradation of their passes by the lower upgrades.
With the season dinning pass, it was great when it was 15 months, or so, of dining. However, since we and many others are not local, now it going to be 4 month next year? We got it later in 2019 and wouldn't have got 15 months out of it, but we planned it's use for this year. We only got to use it twice. So, way losing at this point. It may have been a great deal at the time, but now it is a VERY expensive hit at a great loss for a family of four. I truly paid for something we didn't get.
I agree that nothing should fully kick in until it's more than a few hours and only a part of the park. But making the season dinning go the full year AFTER FULL operations resume would be my wish. I feel it's really no different to the park since I never used this year at all. Just mark out "Until Jan 2021" and replace it with 2022. But then locals have more than used and paid for theirs, so another year would not seem fair to the park in that aspect.
I have no answer, but I am totally sure the park doesn't either. Plus, I have no faith in them doing something really great for us, nor actually pulling any great promises off given their track record of customer service. In fact, I have a gut feeling whatever they come up with will be more worse than better.
Other parks made a call on extending passes for the full year, or deferring payments, or just telling patrons what the deal was. I only see BGW hiding, communicating little and then poorly, taking people's money (which many are okay with), while turning around and not paying their own bills. Just sits bad with me. Being in the disenchanted bleachers already, how they handle this when it all shakes out will the make or break for us. Pantheon and Season Dining were all they had us hanging by. Both now seem fleeting. But if we cut and run now, we DEFINITELY have lost the pass money and season dining we've paid in.
So, a potentially awesome coaster and great eats holding us hostage has changed to being held hostage by trying to get something we paid for. Not a great feeling.
I'm sure this will elicit harsh comments. That seems to happen here a lot lately. These fora use to be a safe place to share information, civil discussions, and opinions. Now, as oft occurs, claws come out when someone makes any comment. Even if benign. I look forward to your helpful and insightful contributions hacking and slashing.
Anyway. Our 8 cents. Joke. 2 cents? 4 of us? Never mind, going to bed now.
