Only in the past decade or so has WDW become Legoland on steroids. It used to be a well rounded resort.

Finally........
Living in the past is fine for some, but don't make all of us do it.
This has needed to happen for a long time.

Oh it is? You're right, Disney World should just be a day care where you drop off your kids and go to work for the day and pick them up after. I don't even drink other than the occasional beer "bro" but thanks for the valuable vacation tips...
Did you just call me a grown up ?

No, Walt did.
No, no it isn't. Certainly wasn't built that way, even if today's WDW has been usurped by pre-schoolers. (And arrested development adults, but that is for another thread!)
Here is the Contemporary's Top of the World as it was meant to be. Stylish, elegant, mature.
This would explain why i have never been there .

I dunno, I think it's fun to pretend to be a stylish fancy grownup at a snazzy place once in awhile before going back to being a big awkward dorky kid
If it involves wearing trousers whilst on holiday " I'm Out"I dunno, I think it's fun to pretend to be a stylish fancy grownup at a snazzy place once in awhile before going back to being a big awkward dorky kid

Its why I love my Alamo Drafthouse, no little kids during most movies and no talking or texting during the movie, they will kick you out.
I don't have a problem with alcohol in MK, especially at the restaurants.

I do have a question, Admittedly I have not read a ton of biographies on Walt Disney or why Walt Disney World came to be. I thought I knew the basics but have read the "WDW was created for adults" thing on this board several times... Where did that idea come from?
Wait, what? Do you typically walk around naked?lol

If you've ever been down there in February, you might need more than trousers! I've got photos somewhere of me walking around Epcot in a winter coat when it hit the 40s. But even on a fall evening, getting snazzy in a summer suit and bow-tie for dinner at Victoria & Alberts is a costume I'm happy to wear once in awhile!
I can neither confirm nor deny that rumour
Nope.. Snow on the ground and it's still shorts for me

Walt created Disneyland as a place where both kids and parents could enjoy the park together. The same goes for WDW. He wanted everyone to be included regardless of age or class status.

That's exactly what I thought. Thanks.

No worries. If you have the time, the PBS documentary about Walt is a really good watch. It's long and separated in two parts but it's worth it.

Not gonna lie, it's disappointing to watch the slow demise of the Disney brand through cash grabbing stunts like this. The real disappointment though, was the phased in approach via BOG as if we were expected to believe it would stop there. Decisions of this magnitude are NEVER neutral, and will adversely effect the quality of the parks.

Seems like a part of the natural progression - raise prices to astronomical levels and then introduce alcohol. Nothing makes paying $6 for a pretzel more appealing than a few beers...........
