I don't have a dog in this race, but, to be honest (and this is not just directed at you, I have said it more then once), if I have to trust childhood memories against
@marni1971 extensive access to everything Disney... I'm going to go with Martin. It has been proven over and over that what we remember from childhood usually isn't as accurate as we like to think. That is the argument that I use often toward the ideas that WDW is in so much worse condition then it was when they were a kid. Photo's have proven over and over that it isn't true, but, as a child everything we see is bigger, brighter and better then what we see after we grow up. The example I use, ad nauseam, is think of the house you grew up in. Isn't it amazing how much smaller it is now then when you were a kid. Even though houses are left out in the rain, it is doubtful that they have shrunk at all. Our perspective is, however, much different.
