I never saw this as a major promotion in the first place. I didn't think of it as 2013's version of "YoaMD" or "100 Years of Magic". I just thought of it as a small extra add-on that was better than nothing.
I just came home last night, and this week there wasn't *any* special event. No harm done. We got the last couple days of "long lost friends", but I don't think I ever saw them. (Had Esmeralda been among them, I might have made more of an effort.)
So I guess the answer is no - I'm not disappointed, because I never saw it as a big deal to start with.
I also agree.
Here is the thing. Disney flat out doesn't have to do any of these things. However, guests have come to "expect" something awesome. It is the guests who set their expectations. No one else.
I think Disney shot themselves in the foot with things like "Year of a Million Dreams" (x2). Set the bar too high for themselves. So now that they are doing smaller events and promotions, guests are upset. Guests need to readjust their expectations some now.
