What happened to my Disney World? We went back there for
the first time in many years and literally wept after seeing what
its like today. We went for first time in '72. It was truly a different
world(no pun intended) back then. Much smaller scale, one basic theme, clean beyond belief(thousands of underground maintenance workers, some who just scraped gum off surfaces),
just two sparkling hotels(poly and contemp), and MUCH smaller
crowds. Now, the crowds are mean(way rude asians and euros
everywhere), the two original hotels are outdated and falling apart,
esp. poly village, and that old magic just isnt there anymore.
Reminds we of, in a similar way, how great our suburb was when
it was smaller and on a livable scale, before the big-box stores
came and it quadrupled in population. DW just got too big and
unmanagable, and the MK became outdated and shopworn.
Now you have a surly worker prob due to $7 an hour pay as well.
They were making equiv. of $15 dollar hr. in 70's.
