It would be an amazing social experiment to black box anyone having an experience. You get to have the experience, but no recording. Still happy?

I think this is a huge part of it. Camera phones + SM have changed a lot of things, and Disney parks are a flashpoint.[/quote]

And to be fair it's not just Disney.  I'm the poster who's been to the Netherlands a lot for work and family and the number of people who go into Mauritshuis just to get in a line to take a picture with Girl with a Pearl Earring and then leave is pretty sad.  I'm not sure they even look at the painting.

I also think Disney is trading in nostalgia from being better when people were kids, so they get the warm fuzzies.  I remember just how amazing that puppet parade they had at EPCOT was. So they're trading off nostalgia for adults while not actually building those fundamental experiences with today's kids.[/quote]

What are these puppets you keep talking about?[/quote]

The millennium puppet parade. I grew up in Orlando and back then Disney had a lot of opportunities to go for free (my choir and band performed a lot and they'd give us free tickets).  My younger sibling got to dance with the puppets.

When I worked at Disney we also had a roving talking robot in our section (a guy dressed as a tourist was secretly controlling it from a few feet away).[/quote]

Back then was like 30 years ago. No wonder you seem so out of touch.[/quote]

A) Again, I kept season status going for quite a while when I visited home and B) I still know people who work there because some of my work friends stayed on.[/quote]

You’re the fool who was insisting that you had to book restaurants “6 months in advance!” Again and again. You know nothing.[/quote]

Good lord, it was absolutely true for certain things for a while (Be Our Guest when it first opened?).  Being pedantic isn't cute.

I mean if you want to see why people hate Disney adults, this right here.  We got harassed by people like this all the time.[/quote]

Please. You aren’t getting “harassed.” Stop with the exaggeration. [/b]

People pointed out your knowledge of Disney is WAY out of date.

If people find value in going to Disney, then good for them. Why are you so obsessed with “Disney adults”? Clearly you haven’t been there for a while, so just let them be.

I don't think it's exaggerating. DP[/quote]

If that poster didn’t want to be “harassed” they shouldn’t have kept posting the same nonsense about their experience 15-30 years ago.[/quote]

Because comparing the decline of the parks over 30 years isn't a legitimate take?  You can have gone 30 years ago and gone recently.

And the people on this thread insisting posters who don't take their kids to Disney aren't treating their kids as kids is bizarre. You guys come across as almost cultist.

It's just a theme park guys.[/quote]

But when you continually post incorrect things you just look like a moron. Not one admission that “huh, maybe things changed and I didn’t realize”  It was foot stomping that “well that’s how it was 15 years ago!”. Showing about as much maturity as the Disney adults they are deriding.[/quote]

Dude, a throw away line saying restaurant reservations used to have to be made 6 months in advance wasn't inaccurate and it's weird AF you're obsessing over this.

"You got one detail wrong so you're wrong Disney hasn't fallen in quality and I'll obsessively bring that up" makes you look insane.  It's a theme park.[/quote]

Agree with you that Disney Parks have absolutely fallen in quality, especially when compared to price.  Our trips are becoming fewer.[/quote]
