I pride myself with being as in touch with reality as humanly possible. Reality is always going to drift between the doom and gloom and pixie dust snorting extremes. When there is a change I do my best to look at it from both sides to find the logic in the decision. While the pixie dust snorter in me might not like a particular change, the doom and groomer can see the motivation behind it and vice versa.
The harsh reality is that WDW is a business in a candy coated shell. While I would love to pour out the bag and see nothing but pretty perfectly formed candy, there just seems to be a few more broken pieces exposing the business inside than there use to be. I can't in good conscious deny that the broken candies exist, but I am also not going to go around smashing the good ones with a hammer either.
To get a bit more specific, the Christmas candy seems to be in real bad shape. Every year the bags get smaller and there are more and more broken pieces. It has gotten to the point where I just don't want to buy the Christmas candy anymore. Right now the only piece of Christmas candy coming out whole are the Osborne ones. If they take those out for good I simply will have to get Christmas candy somewhere else.
On the flip side the Disney Springs candy looks to be getting a lot better. If all goes as planed the AK candy should be becoming new and improved and if the rumors turn out to be true, the DHS candy will be going from stale Good and Plenty to top of the line Godiva truffles with a side of Peterbrook's chocolate covered popcorn.
