I wouldn’t go to Disney if you paid me. Morals and values are more important to me and my family! No more visits to Disney!!

I personally couldn't be bothered with making a trip to WDW with not only the massive crowds I constantly hear about... but this pathetic new thing where ya have to make reservations. What's the flippin point of paying extra for Park Hopper... to then also have your arm twisted on what park you HAVE TO visit first or else ya can't get into the 2nd park?

So until they ditch reservations... I have no plans on going there. And don't get me started with Genie+... having to stay up till Midnight and then forced to get up at 6:45am HARD PASS!

We planned it for a year and went in February and ended up leaving halfway through our last day. We couldn’t take the lines, the crowds, the genie+ app thing anymore. I’ve seen Disney busy but never like this. We barely got to ride anything. The best day we had was at Epcot when it poured down rain. The crowds were manageable then and we actually got to see and enjoy what was available. This trip also felt totally different in the way that it seemed all about obvious cash grabs. It will soon be too expensive for the average person to go. We’re hoping it was a fluke but if this is the new Disney World I think the magic is over.

The whole atmosphere seems less like a vacation and more like a hang out for Floridians. Our Florida friends have been able to purchase annual prices at extremely low prices, while everyone else has only had one outrageously high option. So wa la, it is no surprise that the crowd size is HUGE right now. When I was there in November, EPCOT seemed more like a giant party and not at all like a family vacation atmosphere. There have been some bad decisions made. The genie system is horrible too with everyone burying their heads in their phone and frustrated about it. I cancelled my March vacation.

Here now. I'm incredibly disappointed. I chose this week because it's supposed to be less crowded. It's absolutely absurd considering what you pay to be here.

Visited Disney Studios and it was extremely busy. Stupidly I bought the Genie+ pass thinking it would benefit us as there are new rides and we only have a few days in Disney world. The pass is a total waste of money and I will not be buying another. I’m sad to think that the Disney I knew has now become such an expensive and overpriced day out. I’m sure Walt is spinning in his grave at the way his vision has changed. He wanted it to be somewhere a family could enjoy together, however, the reality is only the rich can go!
