Unfortunately, after years of going to Epcot for New Year's, even if we do renew our Florida Annual passes for about the 20th consecutive year, we will not be able to use them on New Year's. Pretty sure we're taking Disney's hint and not renewing. The whole family is in mourning. Its as though we've been jilted by a loved one. Julie and I will miss everyone here, you've been like family!

You are still allowed to post on WDWFG even if you're not going to Disney. Just saying!

LuvDuffy - You should really write Disney a letter and let them know how unhappy you are about this. Only with feedback from Guests can they change and improve what they offer to us. Mr. Hub is right, you're always welcome to play with us on WDWFG even when you're not in the Parks.
