Some people complain about everything. I think this web site is much like a sports bar. You can go watch a football game, baseball, whatever and their is always the crowd who will comment on everything in usually a bad way. The hard core fans who notice all the details. You can watch a game as a causal watcher and everything is fine but the hard core all look at it differently. That guy is in a slump, that other guy is phoning it in, etc.

Personally I went from go to WDW 2 or 3 times a year to zero the last 2 years. Simple reason is Universal gives me more bang for the buck.

People who know WDW do have valid complaints as too what management has been doing. As far as me I moved on till WDW completes all this stuff. If prices go up from here by much I probably won't be back because there is better bang for my buck out there. Been there done that, has become a tourist trap.

Good sports bar analogy , but I think it fits Universal better. Lots of screens, booze, and randomness everywhere,

"More Lost Service at WDW"...
"just another example of poor management at disney"
"Why is Disney doing it? Why does Disney do ANYTHING lately? To be cheap!"
"Disney going down fast. We need another CEO."

These are quotes from this "news and rumors" forum - from 2001.. With all the negativity I've seen on this board lately, the complaints seem to be that Disney is going downhill, current management only cares about the bottom line, and isn't the same as it used to be.

Yet the exact same sentiments were stated back when this forum first started, 2001. Sure, there are problems and nothing is perfect - it never is. But WDW *is* being invested in -

So far this decade, we've had:
* New Fantasyland
* Disney Springs
* Avatar Land
* Several other new attractions

Coming up before the decade is out:
* New attractions at Epcot
* Two new lands in DHS (or whatever they end up calling it)
* A new mode of transportation
* A new hotel

Not to mention the investment in Epcot that's proposed. Yes, they spent too much on the Magic Bands. Yes, Shanghai Disney ate into other parks getting newer attractions. And those are valid points. But it just seems that the same complaints are being rehashed over and over again and longing for a past that probably didn't really exist. I for one am glad that Disney is investing in WDW.. I don't necessarily agree with every decision, but it's exciting that so much new is coming. And as a Disney fan, that's far better from letting the parks stagnate...

You took time out of your day to write a long post that is a complaint about people who complain. You are not the first to pass this way, nor shall you be the last.

I've been in the OPs shoes before on here, and have seen the results. The only thing I will add is that I hope that, whether you are a "pixie duster" or "doom & gloomer", you put just as much effort, passion and intensity into real issues in society today that you do on here, cause let's face it, what it all boils down to is that we are discussing a theme park. Not politics, not war, not hunger, not religion-theme parks. I think alot of us need to keep a bit of perspective when things get nasty and personal here.

Now here is thread for people with two scents rubbing together. I would have to say it is all about perspective. I am a Disneylander. I live on the west coast, I just had my real WDW experience in 2016 with my family. I was like WOW. There are 4 parks and 2 water parks and a ton of themed hotel and all the stay on property perks, Oh and if your so inclined you can take a cruise too.
For my first experience it was awesome. For those of you who grew up going here, Ya I can understand you saw the change.
I did experience non magical times too. I even ranted about my first DDP sit down meal, some you commented, nicely and not.
I plan to come back and throw more money into going to a deluxe next time.
If you think they are lacking here, I want you to go to Disneyland, and then you can Rant. They are changing it up and trying to get to WDW level, but they don't want to spend the money they did for MB and FP+ there.
Now, just watch the perspectives replied on this comment. because some posters troll and bait others with comments. ;)

Not to get off topic, but I have a question for you. I went to Disneyland once... in 1984, so I don't even remember it. What's the fast pass system like there? What kind of wait times do you encounter there? In my mind, Disneyland is one park (yeah I know it's actually two now) that has the best of the best. Would that be accurate?

'84 no fast pass, just standby. They have a paper fast pass system, but you have to go to a kiosk near the ride to get them. They had a list of times of when to go get fast passes for each ride. Now they are trying a 10 a day Max pass system. They don't have magic bands and you cant reserve your FP times with a MDE app. You can rope drop, and do last hour times for mostly get on rides, otherwise you need to plan out your day hitting FP kiosks. You can easily spend 2 hours getting FP for all the rides. Standby sucks balls, because you can have a few thousand FP users hold up the line for an extra hour or two. Went in '08 on a Sunday with a coworker, before our two days of training at corporate HQ a few miles away. We b lined for Indianna Jones and had a 2.5 hour wait. A batch fo FP's go by line stalls, start moving, another batch of FP go, line stalls, them moves. She and I found the sheet with Kiosk times, hitt them and got FPs, but all the good ones are gone before noon.
