I quess the bigger question is; is the Magic Kingdom of the older generation "weird" to younger people? Do we really need to have LCD lighting in the treasure room of Pirates? Interactive ques on excessively long ques waits for rides? Will WDW become a "coaster park"? Should it? Just some food for though.

Something things have improved, some IMHO have gon backwards and most have just changed..better or worse really subjective. Mickey Mouse Club means a lot to me-- means nothing to my 26 and 17 year olds for instance. They love WDW but for largely different reasons and attractions than me. They don't live for the past- as it means nothing to them. Respect for history- sure...but they love progress and 'their world' as well - and as well they should. I remember when my parents hated my music as much as I hate some of the crap I hear on the car radio when my kids get the station control..The world today has an attention span of about 1.3 seconds - and it appears there have been attempts to fill gaps for these people. We may have been willing to wait an hour for an attraction -- people do not do that now. If places like WDW don't evolve some for their target audience they will perish when we do. I may not like some of these things, but I get why they're happening

Give me those and I can be pretty happy, but the parades are old, cleanliness and maitenance slipping, entertainment is eh. Disney needs to stick to its core values while it changes.
