The trend now is to blame Florida, our Governor or whatever Politics. It started WAAAAAAY before the internet and everyone going bat crap crazy over %^&% Politics .In the 70s / very early 80s, we'd go to Disney 2...even 3 times in one Summer. That was BEFORE WDW became a giant Cash @#$%&. It USED to be quite affordable and not so chaotic. In the mid / late 80s, the trend downward started. I took my Girlfriend there 30 years ago...June 1993. I had not been since 1981. I was stunned at just how much admission had jumped and what REALLY disappointed me was the quality of the food. Talk about a crash n burn! We got there when it opened at 9 AM and stayed till about 5 PM. USED to be that we'd stay till 10-11 PM but in 93, after being there for 8 hours and time for only 4 rides, with CRAP food in between??? It was time to go. I said I'd never go again. But then I had two boys. We took them 18 years ago. I will say the quality was better BUT....WDW simply priced themselves out of my business. I'm only 2 hours away and can drive down n back WITHOUT staying in a Hotel. HOW the people can afford to come from out of state is beyond me????? That's jut the issue with the Parks.......
Disney USED to be AWESOME at putting out movie CLASSICS! Lot's of original ideas. Now?? Not so much. How......HOW does a company get handed the keys to Lucas Films and screw it up so ROYALLY?????? For crying out loud.... Disney even had Mark Hamil face palming (He was VERY dignified on how he handled it). They had Hamil, Fisher AND Ford on board and had the Actors sighing at the writing and maybe THE largest fan base of any movie franchise PISSED.
There's a reason why Disney is closing Hotels and laying off workers. They are / have been so mismanaged for a LONG time, it's not even funny.
