It definitely has "more." My issue is that the "more" is spread over a much bigger area, leaving each individual area with less. Each park we visited two summers ago was a half day park. We did all of the attractions, but we were always done in 4-6 hours. And most of these attractions are not up to the quality we have at the DLR. TOT is slow and kind of corny over in Florida, Pirates is shorter and without the drops, Everest is a short version of Matterhorn with broken effects, and Kali River Rapids is probably the worst rafting ride I've been on. Everything looks gorgeous, but a majority of the attractions/parks just feel more dated. I mean, I love Country Bears and dragged my girlfriend. But the AA's were all clicking loudly and the audio was muddy, not to mention it was the original show and not Vacation Hoedown.
The shows are a different quality too. I much preferred Aladdin to Frozen at the Hyperion, but the Frozen show at DHS seems like a knock off at some third party park. Fantasmic has the fancy arena, but the elements are obviously much cheaper and don't work as well.
We'll definitely return to WDW, but we know to plan 2 parks per day and not to expect so much.
You are a unique breed then along with a few others on this board , most people spend 1 week plus , some 2+ weeks at WDW - don’t think they are dropping thousands every year to be bored. Just my opinion, but rides are just part of the overall resort experience (resorts, dining, activities)
