Okay I just spent a whole week in Disney World. It was awesome! But only because my girlfriend was there to. The Disney part wasn't as good as it should have been. It could just be that Disney are victims of their own success. But it seems like most of what we did for the week was wait in line and avoid the shops selling tacky souvenirs.
At least two thirds of the buildings in Disney World are shops selling Disney merchandise. Disney World isn't a theme park. It's an expansive open air shopping mall that sells nothing but Disney merchandise.
If it hadn't been for the fast pass system we'd have spent even more time waiting in line. If that wasn't bad enough the rides are all too short. You wait for well over an hour in some cases for a ride that's over in seconds. Literally 2 seconds. Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach is one such example. Great ride. Long cue. Over far too quickly.
basically more rides are needed. Yes that will draw in more punters. But they'll be more widely dispersed around the parks. And the bus transportation system? Needs huge improvements. More buses would be a good start.
On a brighter note, the Magical Express was excellent. Disney World actually laid on a Magical Express coach just to take my girlfriend and I back to the airport in the wee early hours of the morning. Just for the two of us. That i can't fault. Neither can I fault the friendliness of all of the Disney staff. They were all top notch. From cleaners to dancers and actors.
Exactly the reason's I don't go to Disney very often. Glad you had fun though.
ReplyDeleteCheers man. What we managed to get done was fun.
ReplyDeleteNext time you go to DisneyWorld, hire The VAR Guy to give you a tour of the park. He generally doesn't go during busy seasons, and he knows how to beat the lingering lines.
ReplyDeleteThe VAR Guy plans to be there twice in the next month.
The VAR Guy reads my blog! Wow man you must have had a slow news day :op I'll keep it in mind. Does the VAR GUY also offer stand in services for the scarier rides? Mrs Wolfie has a habit of tearing off my limbs at the scary bits.
