We all have different tastes, but what is evident is the inconsistency that never existed until recent years. Why?
We've been going to WDW for 25 years and never had any complaints about the food until recently. It was consistently great. Yes, we paid premium prices, but never felt we didn't get our money's worth. The most difficult part of every vacation was deciding where to eat because we had so many favorites. Now, we have fewer favorites.
Disney has a reputation for being right on top of what the public wants, so maybe the younger generations are easier to please. Whatever the reasons, things have changed. I really don't know why. We have been blaming the dining plans, and I do believe they have a good deal to do with many of the changes, but dining plans at Disney are nothing new, and they, too, have changed.
Totally agree.
Just because I don't see value in many of Disney's dining options compared to yesteryear doesn't mean that I love Disney any less or that anyone should forgo a dining experience based on my experiences. I can justify the cost of Boma because it's never disapointed me, I find the food imaginative and of good quality but I won't pay the same money for other Disney rest. that I loved at one time because they've changed in that very same respect. I've been to Disney 50+/- times, my perspective is different so for me to go off site to eat at some of Orlando's top restaurants works, where as someone who seldomly goes to Disney won't want to take time away from the parks, thats understandable, it's not the way I now vacation at Disney!
For those of you who love Disney dining, great, it's just no longer the case for my family, so we incorporate other dining options to make our vacation that much better! After so many years, we evolved and since the kids are older now, they want to go to the outlet mall, they want to try the zero gravity ride, it's just not "all" Disney anymore!
