I am thinking that THIS statement is at the crux of most of the complaints -- guests are NOT getting what they "have come to expect" from a Disney vacation. Notice all the comments on: the state of the attractions/rides/etc.; the attitudes of the CMs; the cutbacks in offerings/'entitlements' for accommodations/packages/etc.

Maybe we have all been "spoiled" in previous visits and want the same, or more, each time, but when customer satisfaction diminishes and costs to the customer continue to increase, there will come a point where the customer takes his/her business elsewhere. It is the same in ANY business.
