Before people bash this thread, hear me out and let me know what you think about the state of the parks and what I think they are starting to do in WDW.
With the recent boom from CarsLand and additions over in California, I believe that WDW is starting to receive a vast amount of minor tweaks, updates and changes that are getting ready for a bigger push in Florida. There was just a ton of money that was spent in California and right now they are seeing a revenue surge because of the massive land they put in as well as beautification of the parks (matterhorn,DCA,etc....).
I think WDW is getting ready to go through the same cycle. I havent been to WDW since last year, but all of the trip reports and announcements coming from WDW have shown tons of buildings under scrims, rides having minor tweaks, bathrooms being updated to themed areas, as well just overall maintenance of the park. Yes there are still things not addressed, but what it feels like is as they are just getting things ready for the next massive "overhaul"/"addition" to the parks and im not even talking about FLE.
With Disney its the little things that make the differences, and right now I feel like they are addressing these differences. A lot of complaints come from M&G's, but these small changes happening with the characters feels like they are starting to pay attention to where they are strategically placed in the park and trying to do what makes sense. Cleaning up the Main Street buildings an the new Tangled area are examples of what could really be at Disney.
With TDO fixing these small things and not focusing on the rides for right now with money being spent in California on the bigger things, I feel like it is only time before they focus on the bigger projects.
Yes things will not get fixed right away, older rides might not get massive refurbs like they need, but I am encouraged by all of the happenings in TDO. And honestly I dont even think its CarsLand or even Avatar that they have planned. It just seems like they are prepping the parks for something.
