[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course all vacations require some planning but Disney requires an order of magnitude more planning then it did when we were kids. Our parents didn't have to reserve any rides, if the line was too long we could just find something else. They could feel free to head back to the hotel to swim without missing a crucial reservation, and they of course didn't have to spend time glued to an app. So it's a treasured childhood memory for a lot of people that's a stressful mess now. Yeah I know you Disney superfans think it's NBD but for many families it's completely not worth it.[/quote]

I said up thread that it is a totally subjective question and depends on each families likes and dislikes.  I think many people dislike the lightening lane system, as ride windows have to be picked a week in advance.  You can group them together so that then you have open/free time to play it by ear.  or you can find one of the closed entry party events that don’t use LL.  Also, they recently switched dining to a 2 hour cancellation policiy which means you often can get same day sit down dining reservations. But still it obviously depends on your family.  I often think a summer beach vacation isn’t worth it because the rental prices for something nice near the beach around here are so incredibly high and then I feel like the beach is just not that nice and there’s not that much to do other than sit and read and brush and off your book.  But I’m clearly in the minority on that one, which is why the beach rental prices are so insanely high.

One thing that’s weird about disney is that there seems to be some weird social pressure people put on themselves to go.   Like they feel like they have to go to disney in a way they don’t feel like they have to go to Yosemite or New York City or even the Smithsonian museums or US Capital.  So people begrudgingly go and then are unhappy.  If you think you’ll hate it, don’t go!  [/quote]

We never got around to going. Having made it this long, we plan to keep it that way.[/quote]
