Yes, you're not crazy. There are multiple angry threads on Reddit about it. I don't know if I'm allowed to link, so I'll quote some of the posts:

<< I spent some quality time with a stopwatch this morning and timed the happiness drop. I started at a happiness tap to get to 100%, and started the timer. I timed each individual tick down to 96% and each one took 2 minutes, 57 seconds.

(This sucks.) >>

<< They’re really going with the “added benefit” is having the other tiers at 3% and 6%? So instead of being able to easily maintain my current 10% as is, you’re giving me the chance to earn less? Gee thanks.

And the tiers don’t stack! At max happiness you have less bonuses than before. This update took away more content then it added and made the game a lot more difficult for casual players. >>

<< I've also noticed on mine they will give me 6 happiness and until all 6 of those are granted, they do not send me more. So if 5 are rides and one is for Jessie (which used to be a short one and is now an hour), but she is on a quest to get a token (hello Aladdin's sword!) I will be given no more wishers, until she Grant's the wish. I hope they do more to fix this. I am just thinking I will happy sticking around at joyous. There is only a 4% difference now and I will not spend money/gems to stay on ecstatic when it disappears so quickly. >>

In addition, Gameloft claims that they've removed any happiness tasks that take longer than an hour. As several people have pointed out, this is false. At best, it's a bug they'll have to fix. At worst, it's a lie.
