    Quoted from Methos:

    This is not good news if you are a Disney Parks fan.

    I welcome the change. The parks and resorts have been losing "the magic" the last few years though IMO. Feeling like I'm getting more nickle and dimed every year with bigger price hikes, more fees and less stuff included, like charging for parking at the resort for example. Feeling more like Universal in that way where everything is a money grab which wasn't always the case. Galaxy's Edge feels like it's barely in the SW universe to me with so much of it just a generic animal kingdom future style land with alot of dead space and a couple of ships sprinkled in. Hugely disappointed with that area. Disney Springs has all the charm of Vegas shopping mall now including the main World of Disney store which was basically stripped of all the fun character decor it had inside. I feel that way about much of what they have "renovated", seems more boring watered down style with far less character than it used to have. Rooms at Pop Century don't even have carpet any more, WTF? The parks are too damn full all the time now to enjoy them as much as we used to. There have been some pluses though. Skyliner has been a great addition and from all indications the Tron coaster is going to be kickass. I used to love going there much more 5+ years ago.

    Quoted from Methos:

    Hate to tell you this, but Chapek, who has been with the company since 1993, has been chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products since 2018.

    I'm aware. Just hoping trends will change regardless but not optimistic about that.
