Honestly, WDWMAGIC is the *best* Disney forum and news sight out there. Trust me, I have searched and you will not find a better source for the most up to date and relevant Disney news and information.
And overall, the WDWMAGIC forum is the most fun to me -- give or take a few bad apples. But, they are *everywhere*, not just here -- so you shouldn't take them seriously at all, as they are mostly a joke. Just laugh at them like I do.
Wow. I used to come to these forums and enjoy the fun discussions of all things Walt Disney World and beyond. However, it would seem that these forums have simply become home to moaning, complaining people who have no desire to see anything remotely positive about the parks. Coming onto these forums now puts a downer on my trip planning. It puts a negative spin on ANY news that is released. People seem to use this place to complain and reminisce about the glory days etc. In fact I am willing to bet that some of you won't finish reading this post before you feel the need to jump in and tell me how unobservant or Disney brain-washed I am for feeling anything other than disgust with the current way of things.
Truth is, we still have a wonderful time. We still make fantastic memories. We still love to travel all the way from the UK even though it costs too much to go any more frequently than every other year at best.
I wonder....... you must be on these forums because you enjoy something about Disney? If it is just a memory of Disney that you still love, then why hang around on these forums? Why not leave and enjoy a Disney free life and maybe then these forums can become a place of positivity and excitement for those who still value their trips to the parks. After all, surely it must become boring after a while to come to these forums and complain so much?
I am sure this post won't be clever enough - I have no doubt it will be picked apart a million times over. I am not here to battle with you all, but man you guys know how to play down what still is my happiest place on earth.
I respect the way you have worded this reply
thank you for taking the time.
I find it interesting to understand why people who can no longer seem to find anything positive about Disney continue to fill these forums with such negativity. It just wasn't always that way - haha, looks like I too am reminiscing about the 'good old days'.
Hence my decision to leave. Just wanted to make this last post before I left, as I needed to voice my slight disappointment and how things have become.....a site for Disney fans that seems to be overrun by people who just cannot find a single positive thing to day about it....
Awww. I clicked on the
"Is There Anyone Positive Left" thread link and it brought right back me here -- I'm already in this thread, lol.
I noticed that every time I leave and take a break that threads like this start to pop up, just like this original thread. LOL.
With that said, it bothers me when posters who barely post and have really low post counts start threads like this. I noticed that your post count is way lower than mine (which is rare). And, I have never seen you post on this forum until now which is so unfortunate.
I really wish you and posters like you would post more, we need posters like you to engage with the community.
Sometimes, I really don't feel like posting but I believe in the "power of attraction" -- I know that when I post there is a high likelihood that I will attract other brilliant, magnetic people like me.
And, I don't want everyone to have the same opinion because that's boring and no fun at all. Who wants to hear the same thing regurgitated over and over again? I'm just talking about being kind and respectful toward one another.
I find that most intelligent people welcome *opposing* viewpoints, which is paramount and vital to having a healthy stimulating discussion.
So, I do not think you should leave and I do hope you reconsider. It's okay to take a break every now and then -- that's what I do. It could be 7 days or 7 months -- just check the main page to keep up on all the hottest Disney news and stuff.
with this company feel as if they are being left behind and Disney just doesn't care. There is such a thing as too much technology and with the FP+, magic bands, etc. some just feel like cattle being herded around. 
, but it happened.
