Not everyone stays at the Motel 6 while they are there.
Here are the 2003 DAILY room rates for the "Grand Floridian" Hotel on Disney property at Walt DisneyWorld. This is the one where the monorail goes through the center. The cheapest room is $339 per day, the most expensive is $2345 per DAY. You can EASILY spend more than $1000 per day at DisneyWorld. You can imagine that if you are spending that kind of money and you were there on a Sunday morning it would not be asking too much to be able to find a church service on Disney property. Do you want someone paying $2345 per day to have to go an hour into Orlando to find a church?

Disney has turned from its family oriented theme to one that accomodates faggots and other mutants of society.
Except for those who stay at a Disney resort hotel.
I fly to Orlando on Saturday. I take a Disney courtesy shuttle to Disney World. I stay at one of the Disney resort hotels on Disney property. I take the Disney shuttle bus and monorail combination to the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT and have a fun day. In the evening I come back to the Disney resort hotel using the bus/monorail and have a good sleep (still inside the main gate). I wake up on Sunday morning and I want to go to a church service.
Now, what convenient way do I have to go to church? Until this ban came into effect I could just attend a service right there at the resort. Now what do I do?
Most people at Disney are on vacation away from home and might appreciate the convenience of not having to drive around looking to find a service. Notice they said there wasn't enough room to accomadate them.
Personally I have no desire to go there myself on any day.
Why do I have the feeling the Dioscese is worried that access to kids may be too great a "Temptation" to some of the Clergy?
In fact, Brinati said, the Orlando diocese was partly responsible for Disney's decision to eliminate the 28-year tradition of offering two Sunday services to Catholics staying at Disney World. She said church and Disney officials agreed that current Catholic crowds had outgrown the space allocated almost three decades ago when assemblies were much smaller.
Common business sense says to keep customers ON SITE as much as possible, to get the most $$$ from them. If people have to leave to get some service, chances are they might not return to spend $$$.
Since they admit they have more people availing themselves of said services, it would make sense to accomodate the parishioners in order to gain even MORE market share.
I suspect the church facilities will now become the "Rev. Paul Shanley Memorial BathHouse and Gay Bar"!
You beat me to it. I guess I'll have to read more in the future before commenting...< G >!
