[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go without expectations, willing to spend $$$ and are very flexible. We’re disappointed every single time. Mostly because it’s too packed in the streets and the lines are too long. Everything else is nice, but we just don’t like being human sardines. We always go middle of the week in the low season. [/quote] +1 I’m admittedly not a Disney person, but I just don’t understand spending that much money to wait in so many lines and be packed in like sardines. Even fireworks were made way less enjoyable because it was so dang crowded. We’ve been disappointed every time we went. And I strongly disagree that it’s not more expensive than other activities. My kids had more fun at Dutch Wonderland when they were little. I truly don’t understand taking young kids unless it’s the nostalgia of it all. I agree there are some cool rides for older kids/adults that you won’t find elsewhere. [/quote] If you are miserable why do you keep going back? I go back but I enjoy it. When I dislike somewhere, I don’t return. And no it’s not more expensive than other stuff for teens. Teens don’t want to go to Dutch Wonderland or the Zoo or the playground.[/quote] Man Disney people get really wound up and defensive! I’ve been twice. Enough to know I don’t enjoy it but wanted to give my kids that experience. Museums in DC are free/far lower cost. As are national parks. It is indeed very expensive. Just like skiing is expensive. If it’s worth it to you - then great - but to say it’s not expensive is crazy. [/quote] Well we ski and go to sporting events and concerts and plays so it feels normal to us. National Parks are cheap to enter, but the airfare and lodging aren’t cheap. Good lodging books a year in advance and the good guided tours are pricey and book up quickly. That feels about the same to me too. When we went to Europe we spent a ton on timed admission tickets to places, audio guides/guided tours, walking/bike tours, etc. [/quote]
