Originally Posted By davewasbaloo This issue is not that the place is terrible, it is that they can do much better. 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.

Originally Posted By Ursula I don't complain about WDW so I have no idea what you are talking about. Plus, I am planning a 16-day trip there for October. We even like the Disney Bus system. So take THAT! I guess the only thing I do ever complain about is when people call WDW "Disney." Disney what?

I would pay thousands of dollars just to experience the joys of taking a number two at Florida's number one tourist attraction.
Originally Posted By disneykid90 Although, yes, there is a lot of complaints as to what is going on you have to realize the source of the complaints. Majority of the people on here have been enthusiasts for YEARS. There are things changing that are no longer like the old days. In that order of business, OF COURSE there are going to be complaints. 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.

Originally Posted By leobloom >> I can't see how anyone can spend that much time in WDW. << Simple: trying every single restroom and taking photographs of each dump...I mean, each stop. Makin' memories, makin' memories, takin' pictures is makin' memories...
