If you truly want to know the quality of service and attention to detail you USED to receive as a Disney or Disney Resort guest, look at DCL.

Well, first of all, I have been very clear that while I like some of the changes, I very much dislike others. That said, I choose to focus on the positive parts of WDW which my family and I still really enjoy.

Well that's some fairly positive news.

Although I obviously love Disney as I have spent most of my vacation time there and have dropped a good deal of disposable income there, I hate the current management. And when the negativity hits a tipping point, perhaps changes will be made. That is what I hope for at any rate. So the more negativity, the better.

I hear you. So many negative threads on here. They freak out for pages and pages if a light bulb is out. And don’t even look at the Disney movie threads where people are trashing the movies before they have even been released.

Lou Mongello is always positive.
It's very IN to be negative about all things Disney.
I have been going to WDW since 1971. My wife and kids and I have gone for at least a week a year since 1999.
Our last trip was last June, we got 3 rooms at CSR.
We stayed in a totally updated room, it looked brand new. Large new smart TV with themed music playing.
We rode rides we have never seen before.
We rode a new transportation system, Skyliner.
We ate in restaurants we loved that we've never been to before, and many of them were new.
Every single CM we ran into was happy and helpful.
It was one of our best trips ever. I have to admit, though, I say the same after every trip.
Now, you tell me, who exactly, is lying to me?

Don’t even bother with the whiners. The only thing that exceeds their level of whining and complaining is the anger that they feel over the fact that they are in the vast minority and that millions of people visit WDW every year and have the times of their lives.
So glad to hear that you and your family have been having so much fun! Hope your next trip is even better than the last!

Now there's a name that I haven't seen in a long time. That lack of exposure is pretty positive all by itself!
People have different definitions of 'value."
I'm just saying the negativity here is more than a tad over the top.
Seeing pages and pages of crying emojis over a 20 year old billboard being removed is just one example of the slathering negativity.
People pile on over the smallest things, I know, I know, smallest is in the eye of the beholder, but, it seems like the negativity has turned into a competition.
It seems for every thing I see that maybe has deteriorated the value, I find something else that has been added that makes up for it, TO ME.
Many here seem incapable of coping with change, and, ANY change is a Chapek money grab.
Honestly, the only thing I have a problem with right now is the Housekeeping situation. If they can't offer housekeeping, that's fine, but, why can everyone else provide housekeeping in their properties? How can a service with a significant cost be suspended with no adjustment of cost to the consumer. It's a conundrum wrapped in a riddle.
I also bet a lot of posters here vacation only at Disney. They don't know the inflation of costs at other vacation destinations. Price is up 20% for a Disney ticket? Check out the price of a rental house at Hilton Head. Check out the price of renting a condo in Tahoe. Darn, can't blame those on Chapek.

Great. When I mention something that I feel is taking away from the value/experience, that’s how it feels TO ME.
So, people can have opinions? On a message board? What a concept.

Please take a minute to reread the original post. The OP is well aware of all the negative comments and asked if posters here could suggest sites that are more positive in outlook.
It would be nice if these threads could stay more on-topic. Several previous posters made what appear to be useful suggestions.
Obviously, if you believe there is nothing positive about WDW you are entitled to your opinion. But it does not seem productive to post that stuff in a thread where the OP is aware of all the negative things being said and is asking for the opposite. People should be able to post threads devoted to specific topics without having them turn into negative mud-slinging competitions.

Why is it that people like to say "pixie dust" as though it's a bad thing?

I don't know. We always thought of "pixie dust" as referring to those unexpected, discretionary acts like a free room upgrade or a treat handed out by a CM.

In the context in which it is used in that case, “pixie dust” is a bad thing.
