Nobody was going to DCA for a few years and now they are willing to build tokyo level attractions and kiss guests behinds to get them into the park. I will agree though that b*tching directly to Disney will help too. The loss of the winter lights is just the tip of the iceberg though. We need to complain about upkeep, lack of attractions, drops in show quality, etc. I actually just visited MK using the free bday ticket and man that place is like a ghetto. At least 50% of the figures on the Jungle Cruise are broken or not moving, CM's were totally disorganized during the parade, chunks of the peoplemover narration cant be heard by certain cars, and Space Mountain is as filthy as ever (Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents, and Big Thunder were goood though)
