I'd argue WDW in the late 2000s was in worse shape than it is in now.
MK hadn't been touched other than a play area was put over what was once the Sub lagoon (which was closed and filled in due to cost).
EPCOT was full of either closed pavilions and/or attractions that were all 10+ years out of date.
DHS (or MGM) was a park that lacked an identity and didn't have nearly as much to do. It was the quintessential 1/2 day park.
DAK was basically a glorified zoo with a handful of rides.
Disney did invest money in the parks in the early 2010s. At least now the parks are getting a more consistent flow of investment than they were during most of the 2000s into 2011 or so.
