I won't claim that Disney is a perfect company. Nor will I blindly believe that they don't screw up, but as a newer member of this community it just seems like a lot of people on here are generally negative about Disney. I know that one of the highest forms of praise is someone looking for the tiniest faults. However, that being said, if we are all fans it seems like we'd be more constructive in our comments rather than jaded and bitter.
I guess in the end Im just saying that in the 40+ times Ive gone to Disney I have never had a bad time overall or even a bad time for a measurable part of my visit. Some of my fondest memories are from WDW and I really appreciate all the effort they put into their parks and resorts. Sure I could look at that one CM who wasn't the nicest person I ever met, or that one animatronic figure with a lazy eye and get upset about what I perceive as "Disney slipping up" but honestly Im willing to overlook those sorts of things because never once in my patronage of them have they grossly mistreated me, cheated me out of my money, or cheapened my experience.
Disney does a bang up job, and while I completely believe that we as fans should offer insight to our favorite vacation destination on ways they can improve, it shouldn't be at the cost of ripping apart a company who still goes far and beyond the rest of the industry in almost every single way.
As Benjamin Franklin says at the end of The American Adventure, "The Golden Age never was the current one." So being bitter about how Disney isn't what it used to be or how the higher ups are so out of touch compared to years past does little more than feed the flames of discontent without any productive outlet for it.
