Change is a constant, and WDW is no different. Notice I said our trip in July was as good as any the past 10 years......because 20 years ago it was very much different, and I could argue so much better. I could go on and on about how things were so much better when the ghost of Walt, his ideals, his focus on Show and the guest experience permeated all aspects of a vacation to the Florida Project. So much of Walt was stripped away long before MM+ that they should probably just call the place 'Disney World' now. But the past is the past, and we have to keep an open mind on what the present and future will give us.........and I think what we currently have, Disney World sans the Walt Traditions, while different in ways, isn't as bad as many make it out to be. As much as I can point out things that have been chipped away, straws that keep being put on back......I still find myself planning that next visit.
Very well said.
I still find myself planning the next trip too. Perhaps if my grandson had not been born, I might have lost the enthusiasm. Even with that, I still wish things weren't so different, that their standards were what they used to be. But there's nothing better than watching his face when he sees things for the first time, and that alone will keep me coming back. At least for now.
