Sure, WDW is still a wonderful place ... and you can have a great time there. I (almost) always do. But when you compare it to the standards it upheld thru its first two decades, you almost think you're in a BizarroWDW if that analogy makes sense. Everything from show quality to value to theming to costuming to merchandise to caliber of guests has taken nosedives for the worse and it is impossible to not take note. It doesn't mean it should ruin your time at all!
