Critics of the Walt Disney World 50th anniversary may find some comfort in knowing that Disney shares many of your feelings.
In recent guest surveys, Disney has been asking for feedback on Walt Disney World's 50th-anniversary celebration and offers a multitude of reasons as to why the celebration may have fallen below expectations.
In particular, the survey points to the common complaint that the new nighttime shows are not as good as their predecessors and do not celebrate the 50th.
