EXPENSIVE, CROWDED AND IS A BETTER THOUGHT THAN AN ADVENTURE

Yes, Absolutely who doesn't love Disney Parks. Recently we took daughter and Grandbaby to Disney World. We stayed at Fort Wilderness cabins 4 nights, We had 3 day passes for the parks.

Went to Epcot, and this park was elbow to elbow, and was bit of a rowdy crowd, seems like everyone there was wine tasting the country's. 100% of all the attractions were not accessible unless you made reservations at the particular attraction a few hours before hand.

Magic Kingdom was far worse crowded, unable to rnjoy any attraction, and for the 1st time in my 60 years, I spent over a 100.00 for a hotdogs, 3 hamburgers and drink. Expensive and institutionalized food.

Animal Kingdom just as bad, if not worse. The BBQ used to be mmmmm, now for your $130.00 you get BBQ Chicken " Jerkey " Super crowded and simply miserable for everyone there.

To make matters worse, the "unionized" employees; for the most part, simply didn't care, were rude, slow, and uncaring for the most part, campus wide.

Bottom line OVER $7,500.00 for a reasonable 4 night stay.

NOT SO " MAGIC" anymore, i hate complaining but this place is better a fond memory of what used to be.

Sounds like WDW is back to normal ;)

Except for the prices (which are much higher now) this could have been written in 2019.

A lot of things are subjective when it comes to posts like this. However, that being said, believe the majority would subscribe to the following:

Disney theme parks are overpriced.
Disney hotels are overpriced based on the value proposition they provide
Disney's food has been deteriorating in quality for quite some time, and yes, is overpriced.
The general upkeep of the park (s) has deteriorated.
The general maintenance and upkeep of the rides has been lacking for a while.
The overall satisfaction with a Disney vacation lacks significantly to what it was even a few years go.

Now that doesn't mean people don't enjoy going. It also doesn't mean that people tend to (choose to) overlook some of the glaring issues. But it is a different experience today. As long you level set your expectations, you can still have an enjoyable time.

Our last 2 trips all the CM's we came across were absolutely amazing.
Giving us things like extra rides on tron and GOTG for free, we didn't even ask.

They were so helpful. We kept track of their names and the rides they were at and send WDW a message about them.

We were just friendly and conversational with them.

The rides were the things that needed TLC.

I would add one other end result to your analysis (which I agree with 100%).

I still enjoy going, I overlook these things when I am there, but (and here is what I am adding) I no longer go as much as I used to and I spend nowhere near the amount of money on things other than park tickets than I used to.

It is enjoyable enough (and nostalgia also plays a big factor) that we come back every other year or so, but the days of going multiple times a year and dining at signature table service restaurants almost every day are long gone.
