Still missing punctuation.As I thought, sitting there completely wasted on cheap alcohol with a couple of fierce fighting dogs that no doubt terrorize the neighbourhood on a regular basis

I get that and I don't disagree. I just get tired of seeing the same complaints so frequently. I've been a member of this forum for almost 10 years and don't recall a time where there have been so many complaints so often. I could understand if complaining on forums led to meaningful change but I'm not sure that's the case. It seems like this more of a mob mentality at worst or catharsis at best. Beating a dead horse comes to mind.
It's similar to many committees and boards I sit on. Many people will complain about the problem but offer no solutions. It becomes an echo chamber of negativity.
If you're getting tired of seeing the same complaints frequently, that is an indication that the issues causing the complaints continue to exist. People here can and do offer solutions to many of their complaints. Unfortunately, the members of this forum have no power to implement any of those suggestions or solutions. So, yes, I can see the beating a dead horse comment.
For the the almost ten years you speak of the only constants at Disney have been escalting prices, escalating crowds and declining value and quality. Yes, there is the new Fantasyland, but in my opinion it's not the grand savior of WDW it was marketed to be. There is nothing new in DHS, EPCOT or the Animal Kingdom nor is there anything on the imediate horizon. A new Soarin' film in 2016? That's the best this massive company can produce for their entire flagship resort?
Like you, my family and I will continue to go, but will spread our money around to DCL and DLR rather than exclusively to WDW. I'm sorry, but until the Disney corporation corrects some of what is wrong at WDW and gives the guests something new, exciting and cutting edge as they did 20 and 30 years ago, most of the complaints are well deserved and will no doubt continue.
I should have said solutions that would be implemented. You listed these solutions but have you sent a letter to Iger or done some research on who you could mail them to at Disney? Maybe you have and maybe some of our members have but I suspect the majority just post stuff on the boards and magically hope someone from Disney comes here and reads them. And please don't feel like I'm attacking you or even disagreeing with what you're saying. I just get tired of complaints.

I would like to respectfully disagree. The commenters on this site offer many solutions, if the TDO management would but take heed to their dollar paying customer base. The big ideas that I have read being...
- quit spending big bucks on unnecessary 'magic band technology' that tracks us all like captive deer...and build us some new attractions.
- quit squeezing things into an already full park (MK) and instead flesh out the other 3 parks, again with new attractions, in the vacant areas !!
- don't close down classic and beloved attractions so that you can do a cheap makeover - (maelstrom/frozen), in an effort to pose a fast money grab!!
- Stop all the investing in your own foreign interests and invest in your home base parks in America. the American public is not your cash cow to milk and then throw the cream into China - or Disney Paris!!
- show some loyalty to your Annual Passholders, after all there are lots of other vacation spots to go to...and a lot of folks have voiced the they are gonna go there instead. They are NOT feelin the love.
I offer my respect of your opinion...and there is mine.

OK, everybody, let's focus on the bigger picture, and that being I completely lost attention after the mention of a restaurant called "The Bacon Emporium"!
From people constantly complaining about how poor the WDW website is, to MM+ complaints, to complaints about other posters making mistakes about discount dates, what the heck is going on here!? I understand that this is the internet and people like to vent, but I always loved this site because people were excited about Disney and shared their excitement with like minded people. Now it seems like there are cliques on here. The folks who think they could design Disney's webpages better and post daily saying how they could do so, those who hate Magic Bands, those who see nothing but the decline of Disney parks, hotels, food, etc. Is Disney perfect? No, far from it but it's still my go-to destination for my family and me and it's still a great place to vacation, I just wish there was a sub forum called Complaints where everyone could talk about how bad it is and do their Monday morning quarterbacking there.
