WDW has made / and is making / a lot of changes lately, some I've liked a lot, some not so much ...
The new Fantasyland:
Tried 'Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid' - nicely themed, but unless you're six, just eh.
I do like the Le Fou Brew and am excited about the new '7 Dwarfs Mine Train' (although a CM friend said it was 'just okay').
Loved Toon Town Fair (now gone), totally dislike Storybook Circus.
Overall: not so hot.
Then there's
Looks like more shopping and dining, fewer things to do.
I wish that a few of the clubs would have been kept (Comedy Warehouse, Adventurer's Club, maybe one dance club). It would have given those of us over 18 something to do at night after the parks close.
The new multi-level parking garages will definitely ease the parking place shortage. And hopefully the traffic engineers will design everything perfectly.
Overall: I've felt that DTD need a face-lift for a while, so mostly YAY.
The Polynesian Resort will return to its original name, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.
"The sweeping renovation happening now also includes a new food and beverage experience opening for guests next year, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto — based on the popular themed lounge at the Disneyland Hotel in California." Disney parks Blog

From the look of the artist rendering of the new lobby, the waterfall and 'rainforest feel' will be gone. Booooo.
Aaaand, a new DVC resort is being built over the lake, like a real South Seas resort, too cool.

Overall: Mostly like.
Now this is what I'm truly excited over....
Coming over at the Animal Kingdom:
This sounds most interesting!
New rides (on a Banshee!) and a nighttime show: Rivers of Light!

Since Camp Minnie-Mickey is gone to make room for Pandora, The Festival of the Lion King has been relocated to a new theater in Africa (where it belongs!). It looks so much better than the former location, more in keeping with the African theme!
Overall: Bring it ON!
