dblr....Rennie 224 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I just wanted to drop a line about our current trip, we are here in a Treehouse early Feb 2022 and have to say this has been probably the most dis-appointing trip we have ever done (out of at least 20 or more). Crowds have been very high for this time of year, does not help there is a Cheer-Dance competition here this week either. Lines have been extremely long, and we decided against the extra cost for their new fast pass version. If it was not for the very little extra magic half hour, we would have only gotten on a couple attractions or rides, I will say they are trying to fill things up with lesser shows and such but not a lot of options in each park. We are DVC Members and seeing how things are now we would never buy now and if offered decent money would even sell our points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard that from many...that they are only able to ride a few rides because of the lines. Taking away the FPs was HUGE for us. Not only are prices way up, but essentially you're paying a ton of money to stand in long lines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disneylitch......Debbie 60 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 My grandkids are really looking forward to visiting Disney World again. However, with the state of things, I think they will be disappointed. We have visited many many times. They used to live in California and visited Disneyland 45 times in one year. They are now 10 1/2, 9, 7, and 3 1/2. Prior to the pandemic, we would stay at The Fort atleast once a year. With the increase costs and lack of magic, I'm not sure when we will visit again. I would like to visit during the 50th celebration because my parents took us opening year and we have been for the 25th and 40th. We were in Disneyland for the 60th. This year we might visit Dollywood. We keep monitoring everyone's experiences and will make our decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 One thing we did enjoy at EPCOT, fort the Art Festival the small food booths like at Food & Wine they had one on a walk between the countries and the front, they had one with Grilled cheese & tomato soup for $5.95 for a half sandwich and small soup and it was really good on the chilly day we were there. You could upgrade the sandwich with applewood bacon and different cheese for a little bit more, cheapest lunch EVER at Disney!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We were there in January and it was so disappointing. It was our first stay at the Fort in almost 5 years and I don't see us coming back again any time soon. The whole Disney Genie, Genie + and Individual Lighting Lane arrangement is a disaster. It is expensive beyond belief for a family of 4, and the Disney IT structure keeps stalling or failing completely. Not to mention that it burns through your phone's battery like lightning. We resorted to taking turns getting in standby for the rides we really wanted to do while the others did bathroom breaks and the lesser rides they wanted to. Took a sandwich and a water bottle and bumped along. Like you we are also DVC members and even the so-called "perks" we're supposed to have were non-existent. For a supposed 50th Anniversary celebration all Disney wants is the money for high priced, low quality merchandise. They have lost the "magic" they had. keith_h and dblr....Rennie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 We were there at the end of January it was crazy busy, and there were so many rides broke down every day. But we still enjoyed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlf 7 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 We are here now at the Ft. Been here since 3/7. We were at Coronado Springs 3/2-3/7. My granddaughter was chosen for Disney Dreamer Academy. It has been ridiculously crowed these past 2 weeks. Even cast members have said they haven’t seen it like this ever. What is going on? And I just saw that graffiti is being engraved initials on Star Wars walls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
