Just finished up 5 days in the parks! This was our first trip in ten years so the parks are definitely a lot different now.
Pros:
The parades and fireworks are awesome. Disney really knows how to put on an amazing show. And their crowd control is top notch.
The CMs were all friendly and overly helpful which was awesome.
Max Pass really was a lifesaver. We used it all 5 days and without it I think we would have been very frustrated by some of the lines!
Paint the Night Reception at Sonoma Terrace and the Fantasmic dining package at Riverbelle were worth every penny. Food was great and can’t beat not having to stake out a spot for either show, especially F!
Cons:
I was excited to ride Radiator Springs for the first time and I was very let down! To me it’s very overrated. Maybe because I’m not a Cars fan but I was expecting a much longer ride and felt like the wait was ridiculous for how short the ride is.
It was a lot more crowded than what I remember from my last visit ten years ago. I used to go every year as a kid/teen and I don’t remember it ever being so crowded on a weekday like it was last week. We still had a wonderful time either way.
We were surprised by the amount of 12-17 year olds that seem to be dropped off Friday and Saturday nights and run around the park. Obviously it’s a local park so it’s to be expected but so many kids and young teens running, pushing, saving spots in line then letting their friends through was frustrating. We even had a girl use her flashlight during the Matterhorn at night which really took the fun out of the tunnel parts of that ride.
Overall an amazing trip and I now have the post-Disney blues!
