Any of us who are passionate about the company, on these boards on a regular basis and get a bigger thrill when thinking of WDW returning to its former glory as opposed to the thrill of Olaf cupcakes, didn't need a verbal confirmation from Bob Iger about the company's lack of investment in the parks with original, innovative attractions. We've seen the way this company has done business over the last several years. Gone are the days of creativity, taking chances, giving the guests an entertaining attraction that they also might learn something from...things which made Disney, Disney. Now it's just, "What classic attraction can we gut to throw in Elsa?" Then on top of that, they do it cheaply to save as much money as possible (Three Caballeros). I'm not completely bitter. I will say that I DO like certain aspects of New Fantasyland. But I can't help but get aggravated everytime I walk through EPCOT or Hollywood Studios and see how these parks are only shells of their former selves...and getting worse and more ridiculous (more dance parties?) to keep the guests with the Disney rose color glasses occupied and happy.
I hear a lot of people blast Michael Eisner, but this company had b*lls when he was in control when it came to investing in WDW. Crazy expansion...new parks, new (original) attractions, hotels, night clubs.
To the average fan, Disney is probably still Disney and nothing has changed for them. Then there are us Disney freaks who know better lol...
