    We recently went to WDW, October 5-11, 2024....yes, we were there during Hurricane Milton. My only comment I have is, we've been to Disney over 20+ times in the last 10 years. It amazes me how many people Disney packs into these parks on a given day. The lines for rides was ridiculous. I don't think I saw any ride under 90 minutes! 5 years ago, it wasn't like that. If you wanted to get on a ride, you either had to be the first one in the park or go online and sign up for a Lightening Lane time. I never went early, but one of my family members said they went to one of the parks during rope drop, you get in early, but the popular rides don't open until the park officially opens. So you're getting there early, just to get in line for a ride. Crazy! Years ago, rides would be open at rope drop. The new Lightening Lanes are expensive. Disney, bring back Fast Pass. People pay lots of money just to get into the park (on top of hotel, food, etc.), the least you can do is give them the free Fast Pass back. Although we were there during Hurricane Milton, the hotel we stayed at kept us safe (I'll review that hotel next), fed and entertained until the storm passed. With Disney adding 2 new lands to MK, be prepared in 2025 for many rides to be temporarily closed or closed for good, and for lots of construction walls. With those new lands, means more people. I honestly can say, this trip was probably our last time going to WDW. Sad to say it, but Disney is all about how much money they can make. Sad :(

    Well it's Disney and I have waited a lifetime to visit. It didn't disappoint bringing back all my childhood memories and I am so glad we visited. As an adult you only need to go once to see what is there as even in mid-November it was the busiest of all the parks we visited. Try and buy as little as possible too as it is as you would expect, hugely expensive.

    I have been going to Disney World on average of 2 times a year for the past 32 years. over the past 10 years I have been using thier Dissability Access service because I have Neuropathy in both my feet, high blood pressure and Diabetes. Disney World's DAS has changed and now I am no longer able to use the service. Just came back from vacation at the WDW resorts and didn't have the same great experience i always have. Standing in longer lines made my feet hurt and couldn't get around the parks that much. I didn't have the magic I use to have. Still love Disney wish they would go back to the old DAS system.

    Now I know it says my review was posted in February of 2024, but I actually went in October of 2023. So, Disney was not lying. Disney is “The Happiest Place On Earth”. How? Glad you asked. Friendly staff, amazing food and beverages, amazing rides, it’s amazing! If you’re ok with spending some type of money, this is the place for you. I went with my friend, but family is also recommended!

    I went to Disney World which I always wanted to go to ✨ It's too big to go around in a day, so it's recommended to spend a few days around the park ✨ Greetings with the characters, parades . . . all fun!!! I went back home but I want to go immediately ✨

    I love Disney. I've been to Disney World once before in February 2022, and Disney Land when I was like three or four. I've made so many memories with my family, and you will too. Even my grandma thought it was a magical trip. Personally, I don't like rollercoasters or any rides that go up and down, but it is certainly not a waste if you feel the same way. I still had the time of my life on the slow rides, shows, and even some up and down rides. See you in my next review! _ @thegrilledcheesekaren

    The place where dreams come true. From entering the park to leaving it felt like you were in the magical world of Disney. We entered the park at opening and left at closing clocking up some serious step counts when we were there. The food is pricey but you expect that. The usual tat was brought from the gift shops. The family loved it and created those special family moments that will last a lifetime.

    What else can you say? Disneyworld really is the happiest place on Earth. Riding Space Mountain after all these years was definitely checking one of the list. However, Tron and Tianas Bayou Adventure were the favorites for us. Can't wait to go back to Disney again.

We have visited Disney World and Disneyland 8 times in the last 10 years and we won’t be returning. We spent 5 amazing days at Universal and left to a serious downgrade in accommodations, service and value at Disney. We arrived to a disgustingly dirty room with mold growing in the tub at Pop Century where we proceeded to deal with an insane amount of noise while they pressure washed the building. For what they are charging you should not have to listen to that for 3 straight days. Other than the skyliner, this hotel was a dump compared to our Universal hotel.

Some cast members seemed miserable especially at the 2 After Hours events we attended. At one of the events, we spent a half hour looking for where to get bracelets for the event as no one seemed to know where to get them just that we needed them. It was also pretty irritating that we couldn’t go on Tiana at the After Hours event when you’re paying $185 for 3 hours.

We booked lightning lanes ahead of our visit and my daughter got sick so that was a total waste of money. Everything from magic bands to souvenirs and especially food prices are outrageous. It completely sucks the magic away when you are feeling so blatantly ripped off. There was not ONE thing we did or bought that felt like it was worth it. The rides all look run down, the food portions have either shrunk or almost doubled in price, and they have taken all the good perks away such as transportation, free fast passes, magic hours, merch delivery to your room, and you can’t even order magic bands in advance if you live in Canada. I despise the lightning lane system annd it anllows for no flexibility in your vacation plans.

Unfortunately Disney is too arrogant and money hungry to care, but we will not be returning. For the amount we spent, there are much better options for our family.

My boyfriend and I decided to visit Disney World in September. Which during September they have the Not So Scary Halloween so we decided to go to Magic Kingdom on the days that didn’t have that as paying over $100 each again to be able to stay in the park is ridiculous!! Where is the discount for the shortened day of not being able to do anything after 6pm, nope still have to pay full price for that shortened day. Employees constantly yelling at everyone to fill in every available space in a room or on a bus packing you like sardines when Covid is still out there is a complete joke!! I don’t know for sure if it was from that but I got sick with a cold or maybe Covid day after I got home but willing to bet it was from constantly being packed into buses and rooms like a can of sardines. Our 1st two days it rained in the evening and learned the parks do not have any sort of adequate drainage as we had to walk/run through standing water. The Virtual Queue system needs to be changed. You need to book into the virtual queue immediately at one of two times if you wait you miss out. The problem is you only get a number, no picking a time or anything. For whatever reason Guardians gives an estimated time whereas Tron does not. Anyways if your number comes up you better hope you don’t have a dinner reservation or a lightening lane at the same time especially a dinner reservation as you don’t get any flexibility for that as you do with rides. Lightening Lane also gives you a choice of one time to choose from. Both Virtual Queue and Lightening Lane needs updating to let you have a choice of a time, very difficult to plan your day with the set up now. Food all over Disney World from the parks to the resorts is terrible!! Had 1 decent meal and that was at the 50’s Cafe at Hollywood Studios. Drink selection is non existent, they have Coke products which you can only get a very limited selection, not sure why they can’t carry more variety. Employees also don’t know how to run line queue’s. We had 1 she constantly kept a constant flow lightening lane guests which she constantly yelled at them to keep moving when they took too long to grab their 3D glasses. Instead of yelling and pushing if they aren’t ready jump back to the standby lane until the others are ready. She was also only taking 1 party from the standby lane every few minutes which was a joke and was wrong that she rushed the other line instead of switching back.

For the positives had a good time despite the negatives, rides were a lot of fun especially Guardians at Epcot. I will probably eventually go back to check out the new Splash Mountain when it reopens or other new stuff but probably wouldn’t spend that many days or as much time at the parks. I don’t think most rides are probably interesting or fun enough to ride again. I probably wouldn’t recommend going for several days unless they change the negative things mentioned above for the better.

I prepaid for Lightning Lane in addition to my park tickets in order to preschedule specific experiences and maximize my time in the parks. In return, Disney failed to deliver on its promise of providing those experiences at the designated times I selected - which is the main benefit you're paying extra for.

This happened several times over 3 days (Frozen @ Epcot, Pirates @ Magic Kingdom & twice @ Rise of the Resistance @ Hollywood Studios).

In Epcot, when my "Tier 1" selection (Frozen) broke down, I couldn’t exchange it for “Remy” (another Tier 1 option). I was offered the “Pixar Short Film Festival” as a possible replacement - which is an insulting replacement option!

In my second try at Rise of the Resistance, when we were finally able to ride several hours after our return window, our experience completely skipped the shuttle ride sequence from the Rebel base! This is about half the total attraction and sets up the rest of the attraction!

Disney is not forthcoming with refunds when you either can't experience the attractions you book with this service, or when they charge you full price for the "half experience" I got on Rise of the Resistance. If you are unhappy, they instruct you to spend your day waiting in line at Guest Services, which almost always has long waits due to the amount of other guests complaining.

Disney does offer a chat feature through it's My Disney Experience app, but when I attempted to use this to get a refund for my first missed Rise of the Resistance experience, it took 80 minutes and I was forced to chat about the refund during my expensive anniversary dinner at the Brown Derby!

One thing I will mention - without the Lightning Lane service, you will spend a lot of time in line if the attraction you booked is not broken. It's a catch-22 - and at an extra $50+ per person/per day an expensive conundrum.

I had horrible experiences dealing with Disney Cast members over these Lightning Lane failures. I will not be going back to the Disney Parks!

SIDENOTE - I had much better experiences dealing with team members at Universal Studios. I consider the Universal parks a much better option for your Orlando theme park vacation.

I recently had a disappointing experience with Disney that has left me frustrated and dissatisfied. In January 2025, I purchased a $100 shirt at Disney World Park in Florida, but when I got home, I realized it was the wrong size. I tried to return or exchange the shirt for a different size but was informed that it was no longer eligible for a return or exchange despite the recent purchase.Being unable to swap a simple item like a shirt, especially when the purchase was made within weeks, is
I expected better customer service and more reasonable return policies for a company of Disney's stature, especially given the premium prices they charge for merchandise. Not being able to swap a simple item like a shirt, especially when the purchase was made within weeks, is really disappointing. It’s a shame that Disney doesn't seem to prioritize customer satisfaction in the same way it does its entertainment and theme parks. I won’t be rushing to buy more merchandise anytime soon. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars at the Parks, the Channel, and more. Never again! This is disturbing

Starting here by saying we have gone to Disney Properties for 37 years both WWW and Disneyland and some times even twice a year. We often go at New Years so we know it will be crowded. Even in the pandemic, a lot of people went to Disney at this time. So we expect the crowds . What I want to write here is a helpful review for those planning to go. Disney has done away with Fast Passes and replaced them with Genie plus. We studied this intensely before going. One needs to get up at midnight every night you are there to get these( they only have a certain number apparently) and then get up again just before 7 am to book a reservation. We would be creeping up at midnight and then getting up again because if we didn't the big ride we wanted to ride would be gone for the day. On top of this, if you book later in the day, you can't get another genie plus ride for a long time that day forcing us to stand in a long line. HA I think Disney did not want us to have sleep. Also, we had to buy our way on certain rides ( Seven Dwarfs, Rise of Resistance, there are several rides on this) . This is call ILL and you actually pay ( we paid 30 dollars a person) to get on the ride without standing in line for hours. We decided not to do this much. We just decided not to ride most of those rides ( cause we are not standing in line 4 hours)
Also, they run out of ILLS really fast so you have to be up at 7 (if you are not staying on the property you have to be ON the property by 7. Finally, the early openings are only 30 minutes before public gate drop now . We have done early gate drop and got to the best ride first for years but we realized this year would be a night mare and decided to pass. We did really enjoy so many of the rides because we carefully plotted every day and we have had years of experience , and we did our research and reserved our restaurants 60 days in advance( yes we had to be up at 4 am to do this and even then we missed the Sci Fi restaurant) . But I really can't imagine who decided to do these things to park goers. I'm not making a personal attack on the decision maker but we kept asking ourselves " who would do this?" Bob Iger said he was going to have to get up to speed on all of this park stuff HA . What he needs to do is actually become a park goer and go through this process . Within 24 hours he will be saying what the heck . We loved so many things this trip but I understand why others won't be back. We've started going to Universal some so we may head back there next time. Still, we enjoyed the time together and there were some lovely moments.

We’ve been going to Disney World for over 40 years, however it has recently become a subpar experience instead of a magical one. Disney’s greed has over shown all of it’s magical vibe. The special flourishes that Disney was known for have been replaced by rude, unexceptional employees that very much don’t want to be working let alone working there. The waits are astronomical, making it so you can only get on a couple of rides a day unless you purchase their genie for an extra $20 per person a day and that only gets you on a couple extra rides. Most of the food in their restaurants is only edible and the cost is in the range of a 5 star steak restaurant. The ticket prices are outrageous, considering you really need to be there for a minimum of 2 weeks to see everything. Finally, cleanliness, Prior to the pandemic Disney’s park we pristine, now you have to sanitize everything yourself. Disney has really fallen far from its original vision. Walt would be rolling in his grave if he saw the pure capitalism Disney has become.

The theme parks were massively over crowded and very environmentally unfriendly with their excessive use of non degradable plastic.
I complained several times about the over crowding but no one was interested. It was a case of Disney wanting to pack in as many people into their theme parks as they could. The queues for the main rides were horrendously long, and the Genie Plus passes a complete waste of money. At 7am each day I was primed to book our favoured rides on Genie Plus but each time I would get my first Genie Plus booking for about 11am. The Genie was definitely left in the bottle no matter how hard you rubbed.
We found Disney in California 3 years ago far more pleasant and enjoyable, with less queues and more friendly staff.
This was most definitely not a magical experience.
I was told by Disney staff that ever since the theme parks opened post covid, they have been overwhelmed during all school breaks.
I strongly recommend you do not go to Disney in Florida for at least 2 years and allow the mad post covid rush and queues to settle down.
Disney staff at the theme parks also need training on smiling at their guests and making some effort to make their guests feel welcomed.
We were very disappointed on many levels.

The last time I was at Disney was in the mid 80s with my parents and siblings and it was nice. People were kind, it was clean and well kept and the employees seemed happy.
After going there for 5 days with my own family, I just witnessed the dregs of society filled with entitlement at a children's amusement park.

From the disgusting 'disney day drinkers" that roam the park inebriated (you're adults , drunk, at a kids theme park. Wtf is wrong with you), to the boring rides (save for guardians of the galaxy and space mountain and rocking roller coaster) to the disgusting fried food everywhere, to the long lines (yes we bought lightning lane passes, still not worth it), to the incredibly entitled patrons who feel like Disney needs to bow to them at every turn, to the nasty entitled children cutting every line, to the sad employees doing the same monotonous job every day for around 15/hr, to the heat, the 4.00 waters, the horrible accomodations (we stayed at the Polynesian which is basically a motel with themes) to the unkept grounds and on an on. This place has become a hellscape of America. I felt myself getting dumber as I walked around. It's a kids theme park and 90% of the people there are aged 18 and older.

I will never go back. There is no magic no kindness. I even stopped off under a Disney vacation club tent because it was raining. They asked me how my vacation was. I said awful. Everyone here is nasty and unkind and rude. They said 'actually you're right. We have noticed that people are less kind, no respect and it's just not the same energy anymore'. The DISNEY EMPLOYEES SAID IT.
I got to the end of a ride and 2 entitled people told the Disney employee working the ride they wanted the last car. The employee said , no sorry were too busy' they replied 'we have waited a really long time and we're going to whatever car we want' the poor kid walked away. We spoke to him later as the moved him to when we exited the ride. I said 'you did everything you could with people like that' he said 'really or are you making fun of me' that he would think that's my MO is awful imagine the crap people he encounters every day demeaning him. I said I would put in a compliment for him on that stupid Disney app. He said thank you so much. I actually took myself out of rotation and went to the bathroom for a bit as I needed a break.
Screw you Disney people who treat people like this. It's a disgusting place with disgusting people.
Never ever going back

Terrible experience from every point of view! Huge crowds and the novelty of the pass (at a higher price) which allows those who want to spend money to skip the queues leaving "normal" paying people to wait in huge queues (100-200 minutes). Indecent system, which rewards those who have money (w/ America!) and damages those who also paid to live the experience of the Disney parks
I attach the photo of the evening show, we entered at 8pm starting at 9.30pm. Half an empty arena waiting for queue-skipping pass holders, the poor souls squeezed…
Never again at a Disney resort!

A bubble has burst. I found the entrance fee for a family of three to be definitely too expensive. Waiting times of over an hour per attraction are the norm. This makes it impossible to visit the attractions you want in one day, even on rainy days during the week. Fastlane or Lightning Lane (quick access) also has to be paid for separately and is only available to a limited extent. I was here 29 years ago. It felt like there were fewer visitors in the park back then. The shops still sold exclusive Disney collector's items and not the completely overpriced sweaters and sweatshirts like today. At that time you could still take a photo of yourself with the characters. Today you have to wait in line for a long time and have your photo taken by the Disney photographer, for a fee of course. The best photo points are therefore closed to normal people. In bad weather and when the attractions are closed there are no discounts or concessions. Another $30 parking fee per day on top of that, even though the tickets for entry are already extremely expensive. What a pity. I would have gladly avoided this experience and kept my memories from 29 years ago. We paid 1,600.00 euros for two basic tickets for 3 parks and one basic ticket for 2 days as well as Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party...for three people...it's a shame, a real shame how Disney World has developed.
