Well, I may be in the minority but there is just too much I love about Disneyland to let these changes sour my entire experience. With HM especially, the ride is still about 90% intact. I don't dig the attic like I used to, but there is more than enough of the original ride there to keep me coming back. The changes to Pirates are certainly more drastic but I'll keep riding to enjoy the parts that haven't changed or that have been enhanced to my satisfaction, such as the lightning scene. To discard the entire ride over these alterations makes as little sense to me as discarding the Jungle Cruise, which bears far less resemblance to the original than is the case with HM.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not particularly happy with many of the changes and it does diminish the magic, especially to have a human face among the other pirates. I'm just not going to let my AP lapse as a result.
Just my .02, of course.
