“Disney...Best Vacation for everyone!”

Walt Disney World

5 of 5 stars
St. Clairsville, OH

6/6 found this review helpful

Disney is the BEST vacation for every age! There is fun for all ages.....my kids are now 12 & 17 and they would go every summer if we could!! My husband and I are in our mid-30's and look forward to returning to Disney everytime!! The customer service cannot be touched. Everything is so clean and perfect! The FastPass is SO much better than the Universal plan. It really keeps the patron in mind! The roller coasters are great and even the so-called "kiddie" rides are still throughly enjoyed by everyone!! There isn't anyone who can compete with the entertainment that Disney continues to give! It is, always has been, and always will be my FAVORITE place to vacation!

“Hate it!!!! Hate it!!!!!”

Hey Hey well......let me tell u about Disney World. IT SUCKS!!!! It has a ton of rides for little kids. dont listen to the commercials that say fun for the whole family. they should just change it to fun for ur toddlers. The lines are extremely long, and you have to wait outside. No air conditioning or misters like Universal Studios has. The people are rude there. There is no music around playing. They haven't got a new ride in years. All the rides there are old and the paint is chipping off. well thats all I gotta say!!

“Don't Rush Walt Disney World and Maximize your trip”

Walt Disney World

WDW can either be the perfect vacation or a perfect nightmare but it really depends on you. If you want a disaster give yourself only 3 or 4 days and try to see everything. You will be exhausted, bitter, and disappointed. If you have a short time do one park and do it slowly. If a line is long try to get a fastpass and go to another attraction. Always be flexible. If you have the time, go to another park if the one you are at is crowded. Take time out in the middle of the day for a swim or go down to Disney Marketplace which is usually quiet in the middle of the day. The best advice is stay at one of the hotels in the park and give yourself at least 2 days to do the magic kingdom, 2 days for Epcot , 1 day for MGM and 1 day for the Animal kingdom. Make sure you go as early in the morning as possible to the Animal Kingdom and don't blow off the walking trails! They are terrific. People rush from ride to ride in this park and miss so much.

“Fun but tourist are rude”

Walt Disney World

7/9 found this review helpful

Our family has been to Disny twice in the past 8 years. We really like the Value resorts & food courts. The transportation works great. The biggest problem is other tourist. We always try to be courteous to others around us but other tourist are often mean and rude and do not think of the people around them when they push through attractions and restaurants. We went to Cosmic rays for lunch around 2;00 pm and it was packed. I asked a lady who was leaving her table if my family could take the table and she said yes. Just as I was sitting down with my children a man came running from across the restaurant and grabbed the chair across the table and sat down across from me. He said he had been waiting longer than I had for a table and he and his child were not getting up from the table. My mouth fell open with amazement at his rudeness and he refused to leave. I was holding my child and could not get my husbands attention in the food line so I got up and left. we never found a place to eat. we have learned to eat a good breakfast at the food court at the hotel and grab a snack during the day so we do not deal with people like that. Other than rude tourist we had a great time at Disney. Please if you read this think twice about how you treat others when you travel and try to be courteous and care about others .

“Ten Hour Drive to Miserable Time at DisneyWorld”

I always thought I was missing out on going to DisneyWorld. Our family went for the first time the last week in May 2004. We were excited and drove for ten hours to get to our place we were staying at in Florida. The Tropical Resort is wonderful and I would stay there again. The pool is open 24 hours and the staff is great and gives you help in anything you need. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin. They furnish all of your needs and you need only bring yur personal things. We were happy with where we were staying. The next day we went to the Disney Animal Kingdom. We decided to purchase our tickets to the park when we got to Animal Kingdom. We got tickets for the Animal kingdom and Magic KIngdom. It was a little cheaper to get tickets for two parks at the same time of purchase. We saved $20.00 on four adult passes to the two parks. I was so glad I didn't purchase the 4 day hopper passes to go to all four parks after I found Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom to be totally boring and not filled with much to do. At Animal Kingdom you will find very few animals to view. On the safari we seen five animals. The wait time for rides in the theme park are at least one hour wait. I don't consider a fun vacation waiting in mazes for an hour and then maybe having a ride time for five minutes or less. The Beauty and Beast show was another disappointment. We just knew the next day would be better at Magic Kingdom. We was once again disappointed. The parade only lasted ten minutes and it was so crowded with people you could hardly see anything as the parade went by. We were pushed and crowded on the ferry boat and the Haunted Mansion like a cattle drive. It's a Small World was closed for remodeling and they didn't let you know this until you went by the ride yourself. I would never go back to DisneyWorld. I have been to many theme parks and Disney ranks as the worst on my list. Disney is the most expensive and has far less to do and see. I come home in tears knowing me and my family for the first time had a terrible vacation. We will not get to go on another vacation until next year and I feel as we didn't get to have a vacation at DisneyWorld. I hope this will save people who read this who are thinking of a trip to DisneyWorld. DON'T GO!!!
