 And that's likely because there haven't been significatn changes to the Park in the past 15 years that have been positive.
 
Some exceptions:  Buzz Lightyear.  Generally greeted with postive response.  Some bemoaned the loss of CircleVision.  Buzz Lightyear did not replace Circlevision. I don't think I ever heard one complaint about the passing of Rocket Rods.
 
More to the point - - Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island.  This is case in favor of the wait-and-see response.  There were many complaints from so-called "purists" about this change, but I believe the end result was met with general approval.
 
Each change is on a case-by-case basis.  But the fact there there have been no large-scale improvements or new E-Tickets in the Park for the past 15 years is probably the true cause of the lack of positive reaction on the part of Disneyland fans.
