I have very little patience for apologists after the messy topics about what was done to the Polynesian lobby and especially recently the decaying monorails. If you want to view the glass as half full, go ahead. I'd love to be wrong. But I err on the side of caution and put my faith in people here who actually know far more about the company and its inner workings than any of us (whether we be apologists or pessimists). It's far safer than throwing caution to the wind by having faith that the infamously maintenance averse and profit driven WDW executives will thaw their hearts and do something good for the guest experience for a change. It's setting yourself up for failure and isn't worth the incredibly high risk of letdown, we've been burned far too many times.
I recall someone of some knowledge mentioning that POTC needed at least 6 months (may have been longer, but I do think i recall that number being tossed around). We got a disturbingly slim fraction of that time, and now it may be substantially shorter than that. I have to worry...
OK, what you have just expressed is your outlook on Disney and probably life itself. However, that doesn't make it correct or justify labeling, derogatorily, people that see life in a different way. You have little patience, really? Who held an election an many you the supreme logic in all things? You have no business having or not having patience with people with a differing opinion and outlook. They (we, in this case) are not harming you, the singular idea that because we accept things and understand that not everything can be "magical" at this point in our social system is neither foolish or optimistic. It is realistic.
All the anxiety in the world will not alter whatever Disney decides to do. It is OK to feel sad because things are not the way that we ideally would like to see it, but, it isn't someone else's perception that is affecting it. Labeling others or for that matter even, having little patience with, people that differ in that outlook is not your or anyone else right to ridicule or criticize. Either side can be absolutely wrong. That doesn't matter, it is our opinion. I don't personally care if you see things differently then I do, I do "have little patience" with people that always seem to want to bully people into accepting their viewpoint by labeling in cute and clever little ways. Seeing another side, is not apologizing for anything. It is just seeing other reasons other then neglect or not caring. It is obvious that the "insiders" have an agenda that they are pushing. It may not be a mean spirited agenda, but an agenda none the less.
They may have more avenues of information then we mortals, but, unless they are actually sitting in on those meetings whatever information that they get is second hand at best. Doesn't make it wrong, but, it isn't engraved in stone. You chose to follow that path, I require a lot more actuality then that. I usually will reserve my opinion of how things are by actually going, with an open mind, and experiencing it the same way I did when I first went 32 years ago. I don't need anyone to tell me what I like or what I don't like. I will see for myself. An excellent example of that is the constant negativism of the 7DMT. It is a very nice ride. Is it a super coaster, no, and if you can give me a good reason why it should be and be located in Fantasyland, I might come over to the other side. It has been condemned and ridiculed constantly since it's construction began. Why? Damned if I can figure it out. It is a very will done, high tech., fun and interesting ride. Isn't that what we are looking for in WDW or have we lowered Disney standards to the point that unless adrenaline is pumping out of our ears, it is a failure. When that becomes the standard, then and only then, I will agree with the demise of WDW.
Could WDW be better? Without a doubt. Is it awful?... not even close.
