Actually, I think the people criticizing Disney and saying that they would die of embarrassment are the ones who are worried about what is cool and having pictures from some "sophisticated" location for their social media. We started taking our kids to Disney from toddlerhood, because where else is fun for parents when they have a bunch of little kids? You have fun things to do for every age, a wide variety of food that caters to adults and kids and when kids start crying, no one glares at you. We continue visiting because that is a place where everyone has happy memories and can relax and just be "goofy." We also travel to other places and I can guarantee that my kids have learned about the world, its history, its art and its nature. We can afford to do both. I will agree, though, with posters who say that the experience has degraded and the money required to have a decent experience is getting out-of-hand. But there is nothing inherent to Disney theme parks that makes it less worthy of vacation. |
You’re super sophisticated. We get it. Let us lame losers enjoy Disney without your worthless 2 cents. TIA. |
Sorry you can’t afford it. |
I regret to inform you that I will not. You are always on these threads talking about how you can go to Disney multiple times per year and ALSO travel internationally...people don't have to choose! Why didn't everyone else think of that? It's so tone deaf, you deserve a ribbing every time. |
You might have money, but you certainly lack class. |
You did it once, so now you're done!
I knew when I had kids I'd probably be begged to make this trip at some point lest I deprive them of a key American childhood experience. Leaned in and sucked it up, but that's it. Now that you got it over with, no one will make you go back, so definitely DON'T! |
It has exactly one, in the Grand Floridian hotel, and it is genuinely excellent. But apart from that, I have never had a good meal anywhere in Disney. I have had some overpriced mediocre meals, but nothing actually good. It’s ok because you don’t go for the food… but it’s just another thing that makes Disney less appealing to me personally. |
DP but I agree with this. I don’t think that PP is saying anything so controversial, simply that if you are spending that much money on a vacation you want it to feel luxurious and special, and it doesn’t. |
Some great meals I’ve had: Topolino’s Yak and Yeti Morimoto Asia Steakhouse 71 California Grill Jiko Takumi-Tei Narcoosee’s Most of them are at resorts and Epcot. MK generally has subpar food, and a lot of people who fail to do research eat at some quick serve place there and think it’s representative of the food overall. Disney Food Blog has a ton of guidance about where to get excellent food: https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/05/21/10-best-disney-world-restaurants-for-dinner/ |
PP is openly saying they want to be separate from the riff raff. PP is an a-hole. |
Proving the point |
What did you get at Morimoto Asia? The best sushi restaurant in our town was just as good as the sushi there and half the price. |
I should add Citricos, Sanaa, and Il Mulino. I’ve also heard great things about Nine Dragons, but haven’t gone. |
Here’s the thing: WDW doesn’t necessarily have food that is miles better than the best places elsewhere, but it’s miles better than most theme park food. My husband loved the spare ribs. The waygu beef was also excellent. That’s really my point. Masaharu Morimoto is very well-regarded chef and the fact that he’s willing to open a restaurant at WDW speaks to the quality of the food you can find there. |
An honest A-hole! I dont enjoy the company of strangers and I'll pay premium for luxury. |
