I'm sorry you had a bad experience!
My family and I have traveled to WDW many many times and have always had a wonderful experience, thank goodness. The problem with the CMs, IMHO, is the fact that most of them are there on the college program. I was seriously interested in this program until I started researching it. While it seems most of the web pages I visited claimed that it "was the best experience ever" almost all of them seemed to focus on the friends they made and the alcohol they consumed, not on the job itself. Most of them complained about the jobs they had to do. I know this is no excuse for poor service but its possible that the CMs you came across were college students who couldn't wait to get through the day. I'm not saying all of them were, but it's possible.
I recently had a chance to go to Disneyland CA, and if it makes you feel any better my experience there was similar to yours. The CMs were rude, the other guests were rude, and no one seemed to want to help anyone with anything. I enjoyed the fact that I was in a park where Walt Disney himself had walked down Main Street, but that was about the only enjoyable thing (and the Matterhorn) I experienced there. It was nothing like WDW, so even if I have a somewhat bad experience at WDW I'll appreciate it that much more.
