As a cast member we strongly believe in that idea. Sure we have rides we miss but we know our brothers and sisters over at imageineering won’t let us down and for sure they won’t let uncle Walt down.
I am all for change, however, please never forget it started with a mouse and friends. I would be devastated if the fab 5 were to become less and less in the world of Disney. Change helps make it fresh, but we do have to be mindful ‘It all started with a mouse’,
My biggest issues are with the large scale changes. The parks, which used to represent certain themes, are now becoming largely homogenized. In Florida, we used to have one park dedicated to Disney intellectual properties, one themed after science, innovation, and multiculturalism, one that focused on movies and Hollywood, and one based around wildlife and conservation. Now, we’re bringing the IP’s into every park. Epcot is losing it’s educational value because it’s too expensive to keep updating attractions as the world advances, so we add rides based on movies, instead. Hollywood studios is being converted into just a place to showcase Disney IP themed rides and attractions, just like Magic Kingdom, and we’re pushing for more movie attractions in Animal Kingdom, as well. What’s the point of having four parks if they all offer the same basic experience, just with different IPs?
Whoever is in charge of change over the years, are for the most part short sighted, reactionary, lackluster boneheads. They make many bad decisions, and often the coolest things on the property (I can only specifically speak for my experience at WDW Florida) are the ones that get the axe. Adventurer’s Club, 20k Leagues Under the Sea, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Imagination, Horizons, adding Starbucks, Mainstreet Cinnamon Buns, adding Pandora, etc etc. They do some cool things too, but I don’t know if it’s some out of touch corporate nerd who thinktanks this stuff ($$$ boner), they have the largest built in, bound to be successful imagineering dept, their fan base.

I love Star Wars…I love Avatar…I like some of the Marvel Heroes….But…Disney characters are all I want to see walking around Disneyland…it was Walts original and meant for Classic Disney Film themes and characters….the odd introduction over the years has been fine..Indy fits in well in Adventureland….but everytime lately I see new additions to the parks…its more other company film and characters than Disney’s own…and Disney have lots more films and characters they can call upon. Guess as Im an old geezer now, nostalgia plays more important part in my life. Disneyland though especially, should be kept pure DISNEY…..love Chewbacca…but want to meet Beast, Dopey or Peter Pan when I visit Disneyland 🙂
Here’s the thing, though. I can’t rely on WDI all the time. The team that made my favorite attractions was the teams at WED and MAPO. I know, you can argue it’s the same thing, as sims of the WED imagineers like Tony Baxter worked WDI years after the changeover. The values and ideas of both versions of that company were night and day. Or at least, the ideas that corporate made them uphold. Two different companies. Two different eras. I can’t always accept that WDI will do their research before changing WED’s original intent. (The constant muddling of Pirates’s storyline is a perfect example of this. Same with IPcot.) I can accept change, but I won’t like it if it’s I’ll-informed, mis-directed change.
Socialist and Islamic Change is NOT the change we should accept or look forward to. Disney censoring Princess Jasmine’s costume so as to not offend Muslim men is just one of the many extreme things that Disney is doing to appease the alt-left.

Amen! Thank you so much for this post. 🙂

I could accept the changes if they were good… they’re not. They’re not even logical.
Disney is ruining DCA. Period.
So it’s not so much about accepting change as it is

Double Amen! The world isn’t what it was when we were young. There’s no way that it could be. I want to accept that.

Change for the sake of change is ok. But change a classic because someone today may be “offended” is not good change.
The ONLY reason Pirates is being “updated” is to keep some snowflake from getting their feelings hurt.
What’s next? Taking the collar off of Goofy? Removing the bow from Minnie Mouse?
