I kinda like the video end. It is fun, and I like the stylised cartoony look of it. Not as fun as a real-set descent, but in and of itself, it is fun. It does get old fairly soon.
Two things about the oft heard complain people simply resent change:
- Yes, people do get emotionally attached to Disney. This is a good thing. WDW is about experiences and emotion and memories. It would serve Disney well (serve us well) if it would acknowledge this even when it is not about selling retro merchandise. I resent that I can not pass on my childhood memories to the next generation. My dad took me to EPCOT, because I was mesmerised by it before it even opened. The FW that we loved I can't show to his grandkids.
- No, change for the better is commonly recognised. Who complaints about the change to the magnificent Star Tours 2? Or about closing Sounds Dangerous? Nobody does. But we do moan when Imagination is destroyed for an inferior version, or when Horizons is closed.
