What has happened to this site?

[Tbiafore]

I am in shock at the transition these posts have gone through over the last year or so. It used to be full of people celebrating their trips, talking about favorite rides and strategies and people looking for help on something.

It has now been overrun by people complaining about FP+, Price Increases and as much fighting and arguing as other forums sites.

This used to be a special place where you didnt have all the luggage other forum sites had....that has all changed.

I used to come here because this was a happy place, and made me feel good thinking about our trips and disney....now its just depressing and full of negativity.

Maybe it isn't what happened in this site. Maybe it is what is happening at WDW.

Yes I agree, trends at Disney itself seem to be causing much concern!

There you go...if you need an example here it is...welcome to every other forum site any new readers out there...

OP, therein lies your answer ^^^

The Consumer is not happy. Unhappy consumers paying for goods and/or services, will state their dissatisfaction. I am one of those not-so-happy consumers.

I've been on this website for a very long time. When customers aren't happy, they complain. It isn't any different than it was before.

you can complain about it, but the fact is, many people on these boards are unhappy with the changes at WDW, increasing costs, decreasing services, and the unhappiness and stress in what used to be joyful vacation time. The boards aren't changed because of issues here...

Good lord, another one already? Poor newbies planning their trips, they're going to have to wade threw all these complaining about the DIS threads .

I think it's perfectly fine to be upset with Disney if you're no longer satisfied with their product. Heated, CIVIL, debate is good. What I'm seeing is an overwhelming amount of people being rude and snide and sarcastic and sometimes just downright MEAN to other posters here.

Lots of people complaining about something they have never used. And when someone posts about their experienced, using it? They get dumped on and flamed.....those that haven't used the product yet obviously know more than those that have used it successfully.
Mark my words...come back here in a year. You won't see the angst you are seeing now. It will have all gone away, and everyone will be in their 'happy place' again.

BINGO! You nailed it on the head...I agree 100%.

This is unfair.

There have been plenty of people who have used it that still do not like it. You're implying that the only people who have negative thoughts about FP+ are people who have not used it, and that is far from the truth.

There have been plenty of negative reports people have posted. Those people have been "flamed" as well, otherwise known as disagreed with. I've seen people post very in depth, detailed and helpful reports only to be accused of lying. Later this "lie" they were telling about FP+ was proven to be very true. There are issue on both sides for sure.

There are lots of posts from people who have used the system and don't like it.

There are lots of posts from people who have not used the system but don't like the concept.

There are lots of posts from people who have used the system and liked it.

There are lots of posts from people of have not used the system but like the concept.

There are people from all these 4 groups complaining about people whose opinions differ. There is not one group that is sitting meekly.

That goes for BOTH sides of the coin.

Are we back to the argument that everyone that doesn't like FP+ hasn't used it? Why does this keep coming up?

Plenty of people have used the new system. Some liked it, others didn't. Frankly, even if I hadn't used it, I know I wouldn't like it. Getting less for more isn't something I'm a fan of (especially with the latest price increase).
