I just returned from WDW and went to DQ one evening (2 adults).
People have mentioned how down hill it has gone but I had loved the place and didn't let that stop me (heck I had even flown {free} to Chicago from DC a few times for the day just to go when it was open there). While we did have fun, I can really understand now what people were talking about. As an example: there were 4 pinball machines - 1 was out of order, 1 had a ball missing so it was stuck and was unusable, 1 had the left flipper that wouldn't work, the other one worked fine. So only one out of four machines were usable. There were quite a few other machines out of order or very worn down. I hadn't been in 2 years and it seems all but a few machines were the same.
It was also incredibly irritating waiting for a game just to have the person playing it hit the start button again, or yell across the room for a family member to get on it. It seems like there was a 50/50 ratio between nice people looking to see if someone was waiting and people just hitting start again. However, at least more often those were children just hitting start .
That said, we did have fun and would probably do it again with the mousesavers rate at Ticketmania but it is not a highlight of my trip anymore.
