Lyric Essay 3: letters


To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to complain about the service I experienced at the Disneyland parks this week.  I have always been pleased with Disney in the past, and had very high hopes for this trip.  However, I was sorely disappointed.  My family purchased 5 day passes because we have loved going to Disneyland.  The line situation, however, proved trying to our Disney love.  Those with 1 day passes were cruising through the lines in five minutes, but our lines (of which there were only two) were one to two hours long.  I don’t feel like we should be punished for wanting to spend more time in your park, in which we will spend more money.  This seriously hindered our ability to have a good time.  Please work on those things in the future, or I will be hesitant to visit again.

From,

Hannah Wing

Dear Miss Wing,

We treat all of our gests the same, and we are not trying to punish you for buying longer tickets.  People have been selling their longer passes and we are trying to eliminate that problem by having ID checked, but we don’t have enough cast members trained to do so. We weren’t anticipating such long lines.

Disney

Dear Disney,

Whatever you were trying to do is irrelevant.  You weren’t doing a good job.  We pay a premium to go to Disneyland because we trust that you know what you are doing.  This system has been in place for several weeks now, and you have the resources to train more people and open more lines.  Furthermore, when I tried to complain, my thoughts weren’t heard, and were written off as unimportant.  Just because you are a huge corporation with infinite money doesn’t mean you can treat the customer like they are unimportant peons.  Instead of being a magical time, it was a time of tears and frustration.  Why did you betray me, Disney? Why do you hate us?

Hannah Wing

Miss Wing,

Whatever. We don’t care about your problems and we don’t need your business.  Besides, you’ll come crawling back to us anyway, so why should we try to make you happy?  Go complain to someone who cares.
