I haven't been a CM in what is it, like 11 months now..? I don't see how that has any bearing on what I posted.
The "Bad decisions" that are listed are only bad in the eyes of a few people whom, in the posters own terms, are "out there." There is ALWAYS a reason behind change, and for the most part, its pretty darn good. As someone who isn't a DVC member, I won't get much enjoyment from the Contemporary, but my time as a CM had me meeting several thousand people who would. I am happy I don't have to explain to my daughter why the fish in the lagoon are on strings, and how the Toad's bad action and drinking led him to hell. I find it funny how people fight tooth and nail for the next rollercoaster, but hate the fact that something like World of Motion made way for Test Track.
Walt closed 7 attractions in the first 5 years of Disneyland, things that didn't work, didn't make sense, or were not necessarily the best thing for the guests. The plans for the Mickey Mouse park across from the animation studio denoted EVERY SINGLE attraction changing out after 7 years. He was always disappointed when he put a movie in the can, because it was done, he could no longer touch it... But Disneyland was a place where he could always make things better, add to things, change things, try something new.
Now here's the trick, not every single person is going to like these changes. There are people who still miss Food Rocks! But for every person sitting here complaining, there are thousands of people who enjoy introducing their children to a new experience at WDW. There is a fine line that WDW must walk, they must keep everything never, but ever-changing. Changes HAVE to be made, and people always complain about change. But, there is always a plan, always a reason.
