    But seriously, it's because I still have a ton of fun at the place. And most of us complain because we know they can do so much better, not because we hate the place.

    Plus I get grumpy at all the Brits that go to WDW when they could go to DLP, DL or TDL with the same ammount of effort (ok, TDL is a little more expensive for a family).

    If you can drive, it's fine, and it has it's merrits. But everyday the list of dumbed down elements grows while the list of improvements shrink. This is not the Disney we all fell in love with.

    That's a given.

    However, you have Soarin, and if you squint during WoC, and bring an iPod, you can have IllumiNations.

    I've noticed it's only 5 or 6 posters that are continually negative. Just skip over their posts...

    I guess the only thing I do ever complain about is when people call WDW "Disney." Disney what?

I being only 20 have many disagreements to changes and projects there.

    Would I ever let that discourage me from going? No way, not in a million years. It still has magic and is still a place I can go to and be in aw and happiness as soon as I drive into the property.

    Simple: trying every single restroom and taking photographs of each dump...I mean, each stop.

    Makin' memories, makin' memories, takin' pictures is makin' memories...
