We are DVC members and this is our first year back to WDW after a 8 years of doing other adventures. Our youngest is now 5 and we thought this would be a great first year for her.
I am a little disappointed in the overall drop in quality. Disney always amazed me at how they kept their rides as new looking. This year, I see peeling wallpaper (Phillarmagic) and chipped paint everywhere. On its a small world about 5% of the lights up front were out.
The cast members seem a little downtrodden as well. About 1/4 seem preoccupied, one even seemed annoyed that I interupted her checking her text messages to ask how long before the Tiki room started. My wife and I always used to joke that they pumped happy gas into the employee lounges, but not this time out.
It seems that a little bit of the magic has faded. Anyone else notice this?
