Why do people hate Disney?

It is where all the tacky obese soccer moms (and dads) and people in wheelchairs gather to spend all the money they don't have.

My issue with Disney is that I am spending a small fortune to stand in line all day. We don't stay onsite, so there isn't much of an opportunity to go back and relax at the pool.

Fast passes allow you to skip some of the line, but having to set all this up weeks/months before I go seems excessive.

We were given free lodging last minute in Orlando and decided to bring the kids down in October a few years back. We had about 2 weeks notice. Fast passes for the "good" rides weren't even available in such short notice.

I go on vacation to relax. Going to Disney felt the opposite of that - annoyance at the lines/crowds and stress the week or two before wondering if I did all that I could do.

I think a lot of it could be resolved if they put a max on the number of tickets sold per day. But we know that won't happen. Otherwise I feel like I spent close to $800/day to stand in line.

Refreshing. Real reasons for not liking Disney. Calling Disney patrons names- simple minded, obese and low brow is, well, simple minded and low brow. Nothing wrong with hating Disney, but the lack of civility is pretty alarming.

I would put this in the category of people who do not research how to have a good time at Disney. No way would I go with two weeks notice. That just does not make sense for Disney given the fast pass and planning/reservation approach to having a good time there.

Obese childless couples love the food and wine festival and all their restaurants and bars.

This combo of words is one of the main turn-offs for me.

You’re putting cruises up as the better choice?! Really?!

I think they are talking about the Disney cruise? Not apples to apples but comparable in prices depending on what you do at WDW

Could you waltz into Europe with zero planning and be able to do absolutely everything you want to do?

I have zero interest in Disney World, or cruises; but have heard the Disney cruises are kind of great.

I never stay onsite when going to Disney(lived to close to it at the time), so the cruise was nice. I made the post earlier about it.

It had better food than the parks, the actual ease of vacationing, and kids got to focus on what they each l enjoyed on the cruise.

My niece loved grilled shrimp at the time and they made sure she got it at every restaurant (same waiter each night). On the last night they brought out a huge platter of grilled shrimp for her and whoever wanted to join in.

You’re ok with cruises, but not WDW?

There’s plenty of seafood at WDW. You realize it’s the same chefs, right? Same company.
