I think the real problem is not that things are nicer, but that everyone demands "The Best". Disneyland is "The Best" attraction - In the world. When I was a kid, plenty of people were happy to go to local theme parks. Now, everyone has constant access to "Best of" lists. Being #2 is good enough, but being #10 probably only nets you a fraction of the mindshare it used to.

I've learned never to claim online that a restaurant here in Baltimore "is good."

Has to be "we like [restaurant]" followed by disclaimers about having a toddler and not getting out much. Otherwise someone is guaranteed to scoff.

Most places don't have a "theme" park like Disneyland. And Amusement parks are often very expensive too. In some cases the park ticket and parking is almost as expensive as Disneyland (as is the case for me). Although, it is cheaper because of travel expenses (unless you live close to Disneyland).
