[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster that is on day 4 of the parks all of which I've been terribly sick for and sad that even 5 days in advanced I couldn’t get lightening lanes or the premier pass (sold out). For those that don't know even when you hit the exact timeframes, there are experiences that sell out / book out instantly. Bippity boppity boutique and Cinderella's castle are two that it was true for us. Tiffin and some other restaurants are equally competitive. Don't bother trying for day of reservations.

Well our kid vomited all over my husband while they were waiting in line and cast members jumped on it like you wouldn't believe.

They came with towels, offer to buy him and the kid new shirts. They were awesome. [/quote]

Your window opened up 7 days before your trip. If you waited until 5 it was too late. Your lackadaisical attitude causes the disappointment. The illness is just bad luck.[/quote]
I will never understand die hard Disney people! 
I really do think a lot of them like logging in at exactly 7 days to pay more for whatever pass it is and “work the Disney system”. [/quote]

Ok. Have you ever seen people log in right on the dot to sign up for a camp or other program? Make a hard to get dinner reservation? Buy tickets to a concert or show? Early bird gets the worm. It’s not “Disney” people, it’s organized people who go after what they want.[/quote]

Except it isn't just one experience that sells out - its all of them. I feel bad looking at the 12x lines 10 people deep trying to get food. Knowing that family will spend 2 hours alone trying to get crappy food because they didn't know better that Disney can't actually serve all of the customers that come into the park. So if you didn't sign up 60+ days in advance you'll leave the park starving.

Heck it was a 20 minute wait just to buy a drink from a drink stand yesterday. It shouldn't be that hard. [/quote]

Because once your window opens up you can book all the LL for the duration of your trip so if you have a 5 day trip, you have 12 days jump for planning your last day and you get the best times, not so much for the 1st day of your trip. Also there is mobile ordering where you place the order while you’re elsewhere and then mosey on over to pick it up when it’s ready so you don’t stand in line.[/quote]

Mobile ordering was working about 50% of the time on our trip so far. Hence the long lines.[/quote]

50% is hardly nothing. But you just want to be Debbie Downer and take no responsibility. [/quote]
My mobile ordering pretty much at any major chain works 99.99% of the time. Disney somehow brainwashes people to think this is normal and you should pay for the privilege for it.

What shocked me was how dated Magic Kingdom is in places.  Like "it's a small world" is the same as when I went 40 years ago and had lots of broken parts. Absolutely some of the newer rides are amazing, but the little kid area of Magic Kingdom shocked me at how not nice it is. And people will still line up for those rides. [/quote]

It not changing is the entire point in the old section. People go for nostalgia sake and to show their kids. If they did a complete overhaul and updated it there would be outrage.[/quote]
