Hot take of sorts

So far, the 2020 decade is looking great — with Cosmic Rewind and Tron being top highlights. But the real wins will be if many of the new attractions/areas get built by 2029.

I think the 1989-2005 period was the best era for the parks. Eisner knew what he was doing.

JIYI, Enchanted Tiki room UNM, Who Wants to be a millionaire, was a good era?

Just my opinion, but I think WDW was at it's absolute best from '75-'88.

Everybody keeps saying this attraction and that attraction, but WDW's real difference wasn't really about rides. It was about the experience. Not just the in-park experience, but the whole package.

Today's WDW is spectacular in many ways that someone who saw the '71 version for my 8th Birthday (on Dec. 27th.) couldn't imagine

But, WOW, some things are mind-boggling. The in park experience is insane! (not in a good way) LL, VQ, Genie+ (does that still exist? I can't keep up). Magic Bands! ADRs...for lunch and dinner.

It's exhausting.

Yea! Vacation!

This isn't a hot take. Disney was objectively better 20 years ago by almost every measure. Cost, value, service, good rides, etc. 25-30 years ago, it may have even been better than 20 years ago.
