See, of course, I disagree. Well, I have a particularly outsider point of view - but I think it's safe to say that along with the Disneyland drift, there's been a concurrent drift away from actual Swankings, the days of Swank Camp are gone, and the traditional holiday parties are largely a thing of the past (
though Car-B-Cue v.2 is worth mentioning as an offset to this trend).
I know there have been more informal gatherings of smaller groups of people - but let's face it - the large LoT group outing - whether to Disneyland or elsewise - has largely gone the way of the Dodo.
I've been around long enough to see this as a natural thing. It's alright.
(But I confess it makes my cheese a little sad.)
