Just got the following e-mail from Netflix this evening…
It appears that the people still have a voice after all! This is fantastic news – I really didn’t want to switch over to Blockbuster and ultimately it’s just great to see the company step up and openly admit that they made a mistake and are willing to suck it up and do what’s right to fix it. As long as they stay true to that, Netflix will keep my business just as long as renting DVDs is still something that we do!
Now if only Disney would send out something stating that they changed their mind about Pleasure Island*…
* Although just for the record, I did notice something in a “Community Leaders” e-mail that I get from Disney occasionally – the verbiage was much better than what was conveyed by the press, citing “…extraordinary new shopping, dining, and other experiences, including a completely re-imagined Pleasure Island.” That said, I’d bet money at this point that a couple of the clubs – namely the Comedy Warehouse and the Adventurer’s Club – will still be a part of “the new Pleasure Island,” along with at least some kind of dance club for the adults. It might just be all wishful thinking on my part, but I’m picturing a transformation that will just make the walk from the Marketplace to the West Side less imposing for families while still offering something for the bigger kids. We’ll see…
