The problem here is that wayyy to many people want to blindly defend Disney and quickly dismis criticism as "doom & gloom". If someone pulled that crap at miceage they would be promptly laughed at and ignored.
The people here are under some false impression that the moder Walt Disney Company cares about its guests in the same way that Walt Disney did or even the Frank Wells/Eisner era Disney did and that things will magically get better on there own. A false notion.
In California, if one of the insiders reports some info that the fans dont like a letter writing/phone calling campaign is immediatly begun and the OC Register and LA Times are quickly called in to write articles to embarass Disney. In Florida, the orlando sentinel and local media is in bed with Disney (just look at the sentinel's 2007 article praising Phil Holmes). Its just a totally different mindset between the two coasts.
A good example is Winnie the Pooh. Over here there was a campaign to save Mr.Toad but it was ignored and they installed the tamer Pooh attraction and it instantly garnered praise. In California it replaced Country Bears and the reaction to the ride was OVERWHELMINGLY negative even the newspaper organizations said it was unacceptable that Disney is making such cheap rides in this day and age.
The people on the east coast just need to raise their expectations and start demanding more from WDW. Especially since the ticket prices are skyrocketing while the offerings at the resort are constantly shrinking. At first it was just stuff like the Skyway, 20k, the rivers of america watercrafts that were removed then bigger attractions like Discovery Island and River Country were shut down and now they have eliminated Pleasure Island all while hours of operation were slashed and maintenance took a nosedive.
