It was announced so early to try and save face after the success of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Remember that the initial announcement was a partnership to develop Avatar lands, not just a single land.

It opened May 2014, which is just less than two and a half years ago. So when you said in your opening post your last visit was more than two and a half years ago, you lied?
If you have been in the last two years then just wait two years, Toy Story and Avatar will open as well as Jimmy Fallon and Fast & Furious at Universal.
I don't think it is worth going to the Florida parks more often than every 3-4 years as it gets repetititve otherwise.
There you go. They got caught with their pants down and needed to put something out there. They should have had something further along in the pipeline and didn't.

It would be safe to say that two of the people on this post are simply on it to rant and complain. You cant fix everyone's issues and negativity no matter how nice and helpful you try to be. I go to Disney every year and even with the lack of "new and exciting elements" I still seem to have an amazing time...maybe that's just me, myself, and millions of others.

No offense intended but if I felt the way you do about it then I wouldn't spend the money to go. Wait a few more years and then decide if it's worth it.
The word on the street was the information had been leaked and Disney wanted to get ahead of it.
This was backed up by @marni1971 and I believe @Lee confirming they had heard the news a few days prior, but said nothing because they did not believe it.

When did posing with characters and getting an autograph from a college student become attractions?

The Neverland Boyz aren't going to like it but it begs to be asked.
Until it's done.
That's how cause and effect work.
Also, you need to learn what 'milking' something means. Just because you're impatient for the sunrise doesn't mean the earth is milking its rotational velocity.

Out of curiosity, why are you planning a visit to a place that you are already complaining about..18 months before you even get there?
Suggestions- try a Disney cruise. Try Atlantis. Try Universal..or pick any of the other thousands of destinations that exist in this world. Sounds like you're setting yourself up for failure if you choose WDW.
For what it's worth, I was there in September 2015. There are several new things that have opened since then. We are going back next month and very excited to experience them.

1988 with the opening of Mickey's Birthdayland (then toontown fair, then storybook circus). In Mickey's Birthdayland you could enter Mickey's house and then meet him.
I would say that having a permanent building with a queue was when meeting a character became an attraction.
I would agree that it has snowballed in the last 10 years with many more permanent meets being built such as Fairytale Hall and Ariel's Grotto. Fortunately they usually add additionally capacity when making a permanent new building for a meet.
I also agree that meets are not a substitute for full D or E tickets. But they are equivalent to a B ticket.
Basically they should focus on adding more big attractions, but meets are good smaller, filler items
Wow, you feel strongly about that, don't you?
I'm quite fine with my use of the word. I think it perfectly fits the point I was trying to make

It kills me how some people expect something big and new every time they visit WDW, or they feel cheated. There are locals who visit WDW every week-they are seeing the same things, riding the same rides and visiting the same attractions over and over, and most of them are fine with that. Unless you've been to WDW hundreds of times, I find it hard to believe that you've seen every last little detail and experienced everything that WDW has to offer, to the point that you are bored with what is currently there.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's due to one word: FURRIES.

I don't think people expect something big and new every time they visit as much as they expect consistant show, quality and value that was once there and now seems hit and/or more frequently missed.

How do you know what the quality is ONE AND A HALF YEARS before you go? If you are anticipating having a bad time or being disappointed then there is absolutely no reason to spend your money there. It doesn't make any sense.
It's one thing to complain if you actually experienced a bad time...but to plan a vacation expecting it? I don't get it.
