Get some weather and a dependable/sustainable source of water and then let's talk.
Seriously, this thread reminds me of the disappointment voiced by the first settler's in Disney's
Celebration community back in the '90's.
I submit the Disney of our youths (of whatever generation) never was -- it's a subjective construct.
Look at any diversified multinational and you'll never find all cylinders firing at the same time. Disney is no different.
So while I agree with Roundshort that ESPN is killing it in content and programming, I submit ESPN won't be the cash machine that it has been. I also agree with the good Professor that the parks (at least Walt Disney World Orlando) could be better (Fantasyland redesign miss, too much crowding -- and bear in mind I lived in New York City for 9+ years so I know crowds -- and no recent 'wow' attractions -- though I was last there for Thanksgiving and didn't see the new Star Wars stuff but based on the Commercials, I don't think I'm missing anything).
Most important to me, however, is film -- and the fact that Disney has not screwed up the Marvel Cinematic Universe is huge. If you had told me as a dorky 10 year back in the late 1970's reading Captain America and Invader's comic books that I'd be watching films like Civil War and Winter Soldier as an adult, I wouldn't have believed it.
So me? I'm happy.
. . . .at least until the next Big Hero 6 pile of corporate focus group produced hogwash comes along -- and then I'll grab my pitchfork and join you.
