I just read a post on another thread where someone was complaining about WDW again. I didn't want to confront them directly, because it's not really about them. It's about an overall mindset of some of our posters here.
I mean this with pure kindness. If you feel that WDw is a waste of money, you and your family should avoid WDW from now on. I could argue all your points and tell you the accusations you're making are actually not backed up by a single solitary fact, but it wouldn't make a difference to you. So don't go -- remove the place from your life. If you feel WDW isn't a value for you, then there's no way you'd have a good time there, and the negativity you feel towards the place will undoubtably leak into other guests as your frustrations seethe out of you. I know it will affect posters here whoa re sincerely either offering advice or asking questions about an upcoming trip.
So just stop. Stop telling other people who consider the place great how wrong they are, how it used to be so much better (for the record, it wasn't. I grew up in Orlando, have been going for 45 some odd years. It's the same as it ever was). Stop complaining about long waits while you're waiting in lines. Stop arguing with the people who think it's a good value and telling them it's not. I mean, why tell someone else how they shouldn't spend their money, or have them second guess an expensive choice they made. Its one thing to offer a review or an opinion -- it's quite another to falsely rant for no purpose other than to say the place sucks.
it doesn't. Best theme park in the world. For the most part, most complaints are matters of degrees.
I think the large majority of people who come to this site do so because they actually either love Disney, or they want to learn about Disney because they are headed there soon and are excited. That's the large majority of visitors here. But there are some -- more than a few -- who hate the place, and sort of hate the people who love it. They spend a LOT of pixels telling people how this sucks, and how that sucks and how much better it used to be before whatever new was implemented. And it serves no purpose beyond making people scared. And making them second guess their choices and go into a well-funded and anticipated vacation looking for problems. Expecting issues that may or may not arise.
So you don't think the place is worth the time, money or effort. Stop going. Stop talking about it. Move on.
