The thing that always bothered me about Disney World (never been to Disney Land so I don’t know if it’s the same) is that it always felt like there were more shops and restaurants than actual attractions. After having been there a few times between school trips and family vacations, I found myself getting bored during the last couple of visits.

Although I do have issues with depression, so I’m operating from a lower baseline than average, but still - bored in Disney World. It’s just an outdoor mall with a few interesting rides.

Definitely the same way with Disneyland, but I think it kind of makes sense because attractions take up a lot more space, so you can't have as many.

And Disney has always been about squeezing money out of people.

I do still want to go Drinking Around the World in Epcot, though. So they might still end up squeezing a little more cash out of me.

I do admit it's a bit overwhelming to walk past two gift shops to get to a ride, get out of the ride and see that the ride also has a gift shop that you are forced to walk through in order to exit.

Disney is just teaching children the value of self restraint

/s though it really feels like I don't need that

If you're in Orlando your top priority should be Gatorland, not Disney World.

I had a great time going to that little Disney Springs strip mall in Orlando. Nice shopping, some good restaurants, and no wait lines for overhyped attractions.

[–] RizzRustbolt 1 points 6 months ago

Fucking awesome. Even in November.

It should actually be the springs..then absolutely Gatorland...with the best entrance that's the same since the 90's at least
