[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went to Disney 20 years ago before kids. We had Park Hopper passes and reservations at one character meal and Victorian & Albert's. We pretty much just wandered around and had fun. Meanwhile my friend with kids had a travel agent with a packed written agenda, which sounded like torture to me.

Now it seems like the only way to go is even more complicated than the travel agent's agenda with various tricks and constraints. Can you go without a carefully curated plan? Have you been disappointed, whether with or without a detailed plan?[/quote]

Yes, Disney World is awful. Long lines. Heat. Expensive. Kids don't remember anything. Melt downs after meltdowns. And I can't even imagine going there without kids. Why would I ever?[/quote]

Long lines: not hard to avoid if you get lightening lanes and know how to use the app. Plus it is kind of fun to wait in line at Disney.

Heat: It’s actually not that much hotter than DC as the height of summer. If you plan it well it’s just one factor.

Expensive: A little more but given that flights can be cheap and there is a huge price range of accommodations and you may not even need to rent a car, not all that different from other vacations.

Kids don’t remember: well you will remember them having fun. And you can wait until they are older (6-11).

Kids melt down: Well yeah, you need to have age appropriate expectations and actually parent. A meltdown means it’s time to go back to the hotel for pool time or sit down and have a cool drink. [/quote]
