Has Disney lost their knack for the details?

I would think that picture should let you know that Disney has no real interest or concern in whether or not a few people relax and stick their tired feet in a fountain for a few minutes. It is this OCD'd germaphobe society that is so uptight about everything that they are shocked by it. It's a common sight in Europe and they haven't had a plague in years. It will be so nice when (and if) this country ever grows up.
I thought it was the lamp posts ?

god forbid they just toss people out of parks and enforce a culture.

Oh yes, water features are so important, and so often overlooked. Even as small as it was, I might miss the one that was in Adventureland the most.

Hey, now, my mother is one of those people who'd get tossed out.

After we ate one of the cinnamon rolls at Gaston's, she proceeds to wash her hands in the fountain, much to my horror and chagrin.

Oh, no, this happened.
"There's a bathroom right over there!"
"Well, I didn't know that."
"You didn't ask."

thats a bit much...bathroom close or nit my human instinct is to find one or ask...no part of me says oh a water fountain.

Yea, can you imagine the massive health risk that Cinnamon residue must have caused to people that came in behind her. It's not like she took a shower in it.

Every time I walk into Animal Kingdom I'm amazed about the details they have and continue to add.
For newer, even little details most will never notices but are there anyway such as the hidden Pascals by the Tangled themed rest area.
Yea, things overall are not up to par and not everything is given the proper care and attention. BUT when they do, it's done well I'd say.

I'm a sucker for looking for Hidden Mickey's and people who think Disney doesn't pay attention to details should be as obsessed as I am when it comes to looking for them. New Fantasyland has an EPIC Steamboat Willie Hidden Mickey in it. There are also Hidden Oswalds there too. My favorite small detail in all of the Animal Kingdom though is the humongous Hidden Jafar in the rock formation. That things is sight to behold!

Got to agree on that about Be our Guest restaurant. Full of details and awesome helpful staff when we went.

My favorite recent detail is the life preserver on the exit side of Goofy's Barnstormer. It says "Ya-Hoo-Buoy!"

I didn't expect the new Frozen meet and greet to floor me like it did. All of the Norwegian research and authenticity and a lot of fun with the characters' back story really surprised me. And that was just for a meet and greet. And as said above: Harambe Market is phenomenal.

I don't think Disney has lost any ground on the details. There does seem to be maintenance miscues than in years past, but with how crowded the parks are now compared to prior years...it's probably pretty hard to keep up...not to mention the cuts they've had recently.

The nook where Aladdin & Jasmine meet over in Morocco is likewise beautifully detailed.
