I just think we see in real time the guest experience erosion and it’s startling…what seems beneficial for the guests anymore?
There are major issues within the Parks leadership right now that are cascading in multiple ways down to the paying guests. Just because OP is more tolerant of the current shortcomings solely because they arent able to travel to WDW as frequently does not excuse those issues.
Speaking up isn’t going to change anything. These people speaking up continue to visit and visit often. Unless people stop visiting nothing will change. And guess what … they are not going to stop visiting. Attendance is up.Regarding the quality of the parks declining:
If people don't speak up, then nothing will change. Additionally, I appreciate these brave people, who make their money off of Disney, for having the guts to tell the truth and not to gaslight us.
I think this is a fair conclusion to make.
We are DL locals, but we travel to WDW frequently. From what I have heard about WDW over the last year, we have no plans to return anytime soon. Our last trip was May 2019. We have put all our eggs into Disneyland's basket and overall have been enjoying the parks over the last year. WDW honestly sounds miserable right now.
yes, there's plenty of podcasts out there about disney that cover it from all different angles and perspectives. find the one that's right for you.As far as this week's podcast? I was uncomfortable with alot of it, so I just turned it off. I usually love all the podcasts though.
If someone doesn't care for something online, all they have to do is switch to something else, that's all
IMO I don't think it all has to with people being raw and sensitive from the last 2 years. People are down on the parks cause of how massively they have changed from pre Covid. With the cuts and how much they have screwed up a paid skip the line system people are down on the product.I too at times have felt that some of the DIS podcasts have felt more negative toward the parks experience than in the past. Previously, it had felt like constructive criticism. I have visited multiple times before and during covid, and with Genie+. I have not felt the same negativity that many on the boards and the DIS have felt. If the podcast or the boards bother me, then it's up to me to not listen or read or to not let it bother me. People are allowed to express different viewpoints from mine. It doesn't make me dislike the team any. I still like them, especially the ones that I have met. They are just in a different place right now about the parks than I am. I also understand that I am very fortunate to not be negatively impacted by the price increases; whereas, many people have been impacted. I think people are still sensitive and raw after the past 2 years, which is completely understandable.
Well said. I think regarding that specific week's podcast though, Pete did conclude it by saying only positive things about his parks experiences this month over the span of many different types of Disney events and destinations and commented he will make a concerted effort to search and look for the positivity while understanding there is much that has changed and the perspective of the vacationing guest. Specifically the negativity wasn't about the parks in that episode OP is speaking about but I believe the lecturing about some negative listeners who make comments about the podcasters themselves and their lifestyles and not having much perspective taking for the vacationing guest and how they must be jealous of Pete and his money. So there are many issues at play here. So in fact Pete ended the podcast on a positive note, but statements about certain listeners were made who were attacking him.I too at times have felt that some of the DIS podcasts have felt more negative toward the parks experience than in the past.

I’ve just unsubscribed from the YouTube channels. I’m sorry but I just felt it came across as very entitled from the group.
