[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8843755, member: 4348"] I went to Disney this year. I enjoyed it...BUT...there were some REALLY BIG downsides I would change about it if I could... 1. YOU HAVE to HAVE a reservation to eat almost ANYWHERE unless you want hamburger and fries for every meal. YOU HAVE to get your MEAL RESERVATION IN by 8 AM...probably before 7:30 AM or 7:15 AM. After that, everything is reserved out. YOU WILL NOT EAT at a decent place. This is me...on vacation...having to get up BEFORE 7 AM (remember...on vacation) JUST TO BE ABLE TO EAT. What's worse is this hurts spontaneity. You have a location and an hour where you will need to be in order to eat at that place at that time. This...this is dumb. 2. YOU HAVE TO RESERVE YOUR PARK. This is done weeks in advance. I had park hopper. We had to reserve which parks we wanted to go to that day. You were sort of restricted to TWO parks. You could ONLY go to the second park AFTER 2PM. This kills spontaneity. See #1 above. You basically are planning your day out three weeks in advance before you ever get to the park! 3. Disney is now very hostile to the disabled. We had an individual with a disability with us. They needed a wheelchair. Disney really does not help accomodate these needs. They have it contracted out with someone outside the parks to let you use wheelchairs at the hotels...BUT...now get this...at the PARK you will need to get your own wheelchair rented from the park itself. And if you switch parks...well...now we get into the entire boondogle. And no, they get to stay in line with everyone else sooooo... Every try getting someone in a wheelchair up the stairs at a ride? I couldn't even believe this. I felt sure Disney HAD to follow the ADA...but apparently Disney is immune to having to follow these laws these days. 4. I actually liked Genie+ as it worked well for us. I suppose this is fine for those who have money. I didn't mind the extra cost as it worked faster than Fastpass. The DOWNSIDE. So there is this Avatar ride. You need to pay extra (I think it was something like $14 to $17...yes...that's for a single ride...once again...not to bad if you have the money to do it) to get on that...BUT...you'll ALSO need to reserve your time and space you want to ride on it. You better get that reservation in before 8AM (see a pattern here) or you are screwed. Hopefully you can pair it up with all the other reservations you are having to make at the same time.... 5. And if that wasn't enough...the system LAGS when you are making reservations. There is nothing so infuriating as trying to make reservations and getting kicked off because everyone and their dog is doing the same thing at the same time at 7AM in the morning. [/QUOTE]
