Yes and until what all Walter Elias Disney loyal fans who knows what has to be done it will not regain it. So Disney has a choice keep what they are doing and ruin the Disney name or return Disney to what Walt created PERIOD

“Is it worth it?” asks us to consider the financial cost of a Disney Vacation. Sadly, it isn’t the extreme cost that is destroying Disney. It is the lack of vision and connection to the people. Bob “Paycheck” Chapek is a terrible leader blind to creative vision. His destruction of the cast members who care and the quality of what Walt built will hurt Disney for decades to come.

We’ve been twice post pandemic and have no plans to go back for a long time. The expenses are outrageous now, there is clearly a lack of staffing, and there aren’t as many experiences. It’s just not the same WDW from that magical 2015-2020 time period.

My family and I just returned from Disney. I was extremely disappointed, and mad at myself for being disappointment, but at every turn of events, I couldn’t comprehend what the attraction was and was it worth all the inconvenience. We stayed at a hotel on property and it was descent and clean. It was extremely hot the whole time, but at least it didn’t rain. The crowds were tremendous! Magic Kingdom was the very worse! With it being so hot and waiting in line the trip just became a nightmare! Disney needs to simplify things for the public. Aside of the extreme expense, by the time we got to the ride, it was over and what’s to look forward to….another hour or more wait. The complexity of the ticket buying was another fiasco! I think they should limit the number of people in the parks, and the Genie and lightening pass is a joke and another way to get more money.

I will not have anything to do with Disney after what they did to Johnny Depp. He made billions for Disney and they treated him guilty before the trial and dropped him from Pirates. Big mistake. Johnny is Pirates.he is the one and only Captain Jack Sparrow . Bring Johnny back

Super sad: Geandson asked me Gram we never get the Disney happiness they show on the commercial. Kids in school who go say even cruses are horrible. U saved for 15 yrs Gram to give us a great time, just to do nothing, no rides or food, rooms that stink, fights all over isn’t the magic that they advertise. Let’s go fishing Gram when u get better it’s safer, fun, and your picnic basket is way better”

I have always said, “Vacations are what you make them.” That being said, we have a WDW vacation planned for spring break. We’re hoping there is some magic left, but I have my doubts with Bob Paycheck’s “visions”. I truly do not understand how a CEO of a major corporation can turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to all of the complaints and not do something to rectify the negativity. His spinning will eventually catch up to him. Hopefully, it won’t be to late to right the ship.

Completely lost its magic. Not worth being a passholder any more, since all the perks are gone. Would rather go to Universal now and I NEVER thought I’d say that.

PASS HOLDERS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT LOST PERKS! THOSE STAYING ON PROPERTY LOST PERKS AS WELL! ANOTHER PASS HOLDER THINKING THEY ARE ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING! I’M SURE YOU WON’T BE MISSED!

Less magic, higher costs, more cellphone obsession.

Disney is thievery at its finest!! My family of 6 had dinner at Chef Mickey’s. It was $288 for 4 kids meals and 2 adults. The kids plate had a chunk of broccoli, Mac & cheese in the middle, 4 heavily breaded chicken nuggets, and 4 mini corn dogs. The adults portion was served family.

If I ever won the lottery or Publisher’s Clearing House, I would happily state in my interviews, “I’m NOT going to Disney World!”

The cost of a Disney vacation is has risen to astronomical heights. The parks are still ridiculously crowded so I get it. Its market driven as long as there are people willing to pay. Still, despite the rising costs, the opportunities to experience what Disney parks have to offer have gone down. From popular restaurants being unavailable the minute you are able to make a reservation to fighting internet connections at 6 a.m. trying to reserve space on ‘premium’ rides, in recent years there has been less and less bang for increasingly more buck.

It isn’t necessarily all Disney’s fault. It lies with the guests. People have become more intolerant, self-absorbed, whining types. There is a large percentage who have bought into the divisiveness propagated by the so-called leaders. The pandemic has also influenced the situation. I’ve heard the “I paid good money for this and I’m being forced to endure these crowds and long queue times!” Get over your self-inflicted anger. Do you believe your the only patron that has? But it just isn’t Disney. I’ve encountered this at ball games, theaters, festivals and just about every public event. Seems that everyone wants a scapegoat and Disney is the latest. Ŵhen the source of your issues come from you.
