My feelings exactly. I started going in '71. We travelled from WV every 3 years or so. And I now live in Orlando (blind luck, I did NOT move here because of WDW), and I only go when I can get in for free COMBINED with another reason like to hang with friendly spirits or I get free tickets to MNSSHP on my daughter's birthday. Just simply "free" won't get me down there. I can get 4 free tickets a year and I haven't taken then for the past 2 years.I stopped going. For a long time. My last trip to WDW was Jan 2013. My last trip to WDW before that was April 1999. My next trip to WDW is decades away. The resort has become pathetic and I actually spent most of my time there this past winter angry - not "screaming mad" angry, but "slow burn, simmering under the surface" angry.
I will still go to DLR from time to time (i live in the middle of the country and am similar distances from Orlando and Anaheim), but I've written off WDW. My family used to go every summer when I was kid. My parents snorted pixie dust in the 80s and early 90s. TDO has used up every ounce of goodwill it ever had with my family - I hope it was worth it.
And it's not like I can't afford to go. I still travel constantly. Only now it's to locations that respect me as a customer.
So, I suppose I reject the OP's premise.
And I try not to complain too much. But I do talk about Universal a lot because that's my new wife and I really like her. My ex is just that. I used to love her. I still care about her. But I would rather talk about my new love.
