In my humble opinion, Disneyland has progressed amazingly well over the past year. New management has imbued TDA with a good sense of fear - "do it right or get out!"
As for the occasional light bulb and chipped paint - you try running 40,000 people through your house each day and tell me what the carpets and lamps look like after the first 2 days. It will not be pretty.
As for safety - stil the best in the business. Yes, they've had some accidents, and yes, they could have been avoided. Will anything similar to those happen again? Resounding no.
As for ride quality - want rollercoasters from hell? There are parks for that. Want slow quiet rides on the Rivers? Disneyland. Want a new cheap ride every 3 years - there are parks for that, too. Want a $100 million investment in a new "E Ticket" every so often? Disneyland. Want to be able to see a steam train chuff by at random, with a bunch of smiling faces? Disneyland.
And, last but by no means least - Want to see a child's face explode in joy when he first walks through the gate? Disneyland. Period.
So, if you want to complain, at least be very, very specific. If you see a burned out light - tell the nearest CM or security. If you notice some chipped paint, post it here - probably takes 30 seconds from post to TDA email. If you want to see a specific ride or upgrade or whatever, post it here. Probably takes 60 seconds from here to WDI email.
