Let me pull up the ole micechat soapbox... because I gotta say something after my experience last night...
I've been visiting Disneyland on a rather regular basis (what can I say, I'm a passhole) and I will admit, that in recent months, things have notably gone downhill. From ride operations, to crowd management, to crowds alone, to food... things have been well, just crappy, and worthy of naysayers of the micechat type. I would like to use a specific example I had from last night.
Rancho Zocalo, the beef burrito. My last visit compared to my visit last night-
Size- Previous- two people could split it, easily (my friends always did). Now- one person can finish it, easily.
Plate- Previous- larger (so as to accommodate the bigger burrito). Now- smaller (so as to accommodate the smaller burrito).
Inside- Previous- had vegetables (onion and peppers) in a sauce inside. Now- No vegetables.
Meat- Previous- mediocre for sure, but had some flavor (maybe from the veggie sauce?). Now- tasted boiled. I've eaten bland meat before, but wow, it was flavorless.
Sides- Previous- Came with a scoop of guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Now- only a scoop of pico de gallo.
Price- Previous- cheaper. Now- slightly higher.
SO, I hate to preach micechat BS here, but man, the difference I saw last night was night and day. I didn't mind previously to get the mediocre 'burrito' because it was ok and filled me up. Now, it's not even worth near the money, it's complete crap, and I've had better food in cal state university commons cafeterias.
Does anyone else have any examples of... dare I say it... 'declining by degrees'? I used the burrito as my example, but I've seen a lot of other things around that have been getting worse and worse, while paying top dollar.

I don't remember what I payed last year so when did this happen? Sad to hear these things are spreading to Disneyland. Definitely killing my view of the grass being greener on the other side. Reminds me of my recent breakfast at WDW where I definitely noticed a higher price coupled with smaller portions. How bad could it get by next summer? I don't even want to know...
