We had a good time overall at Disney World, mostly because we're military and got a huge discount (thank you WDW for this, and you're welcome for serving our country and fighting for your freedom). However, like the other reviewers wrote, it was a huge disappointment in terms of the long lines, the rude cast members (employees), overpriced food and... more

My family and I have been to Disney 50+ times. Here are some tips starting with the most important. 1) Get a travel book before booking your stay. The book will orient you to the different parks and shows. This is not your usual amusement park, plan to spend at least five days here. 2) If you can afford it,... more

Ok. So i've been going to Disneyworld for all of my life, growing up just around the corner from it and all. Just yesterday i went to the Magic Kingdom, taking my husband with me for his first time. Since i went to Disneyworld at least once a month for most of my childhood it's always been a special place... more

If you like to spend lots of time and money this is the place for you. If you have never been to Disney I would say go and say you have been, but there are far better things to do than this. You play hundreds just to enter and from then on its money money money and waiting. The average... more

This was not an event that offered benefits over the standard park admission fee. Many attractions were closed and the lines for those that were open were extremely long. The parade and fireworks display were not substantially different from the normal daily parade or Wishes fireworks display. Don't pay the extra money for this event! It is simply not worth... more

Disney is truly a nice place to visit but come prepared financially because everything cost you. No wonder America is in debt. Pay special attention to the fine print of anything you purchase because we purchased the Cinderella dinner and assumed since it cost us about the same as the breakfast ($180) for our family of four, that it would... more

Went to Disney with the kids for our second time and my fifth time. Every time until this time had been WONDERFUL. This trip had too many issues to ignore. Several of the washrooms were disgustingly dirty. There was toilet paper and seat covers on the floors, the garbage can was overflowing as were the 'sanitary napkin' holders. toilets were... more

This is truly the most magical place on earth. Yes it is expensive but it is worth every penny you spend. Anyone who complains about the costs has failed to see the magincal experience it is. I cut costs down by bringing my own sandwich into the parks and they do not stop you from doing that. By planning carelully... more

With the closure of Pleasure island clubs, Disney is now a deadzone after 10:00pm with the exception of a few pubs and restaurants. The nightlife sucks and they just don't care because they think they make more on the families. Well I have a family, but I still like taking my wife out for some fun at night while the... more

Just got back from an 11 day trip to Disneyworld with my family. I must say the employees of Disneyland here in California are so much more friendly than those we encountered in Florida. Some gave us the impression "don't bother me". Disney has always had wonderful employees here in CA but I cannot say the same for Florida. And... more
