I started going to Disney regularly back in 2007 with my girlfriend (now wife) and her family. They had/have DVC we pretty much are there at least once per year. I remember joining this forum shortly after that (I guess 2008) and reading people talking about how the place was falling apart and losing the magic. Cheapening out on meals, new rides not being up to the standards of the old ones, Florida getting the worse version of everything, relying on IP rather than creating original ideas, less clean, less friendly, etc. As time went by, I started to see many of those very same things, however, I tended to think they were still a bit overblown considering that Disney was still providing an overall top notch experience.
