[quote=Anonymous]Disney world! I am an amusement park enthusiast and DW does not impress me. I expect crowds, heat, long lines, and bad food. That didn’t bother me. We took our girls when they were little and in princess mode. Thought it would have that Disney magical feel. It just didn’t. We had to wait in line for hours to meet princesses and other characters. The rides for little kids are just various round and round rides. We went again when the kids were older. Most of the rides are just...meh. Better rides by far at Cedar Fair parks. Fast passes helped with wait times but it makes for a very rushed and contrived experience. It is way too complicated and time consuming trying to make time to visit each park. I like Disneyland/California Adventure much better. They have versions of the best DW rides in a much smaller space. So much more charm.

San Antonio was another disappointment. We went over winter break so maybe I would have liked it better in the summer. The river walk was nice enough, but surprisingly lacked shopping and dining options along it. I was so sad to see that the Alamo is surrounded by tourist trash like Ripley’s and wax museum. We did an observation tower. It was crazy expensive and the view was underwhelming. There was a drive-through safari nearby that was fun though. [/quote]
