So we went to Orlando for the marathon and with how far we had to travel made it our main vacation. The few days between the marathon and presidents day weekend were ok crowd wise. Busier than in the past but still could do what people in the group wanted to. Also noted that there were crap load of Brazil Tour Groups. Now the 19th this was bedlam, made the mistake of trying to go to MK. As former CM I knew what signs to looks for. The park closed due to capacity to deal with this they did some crazy stupid things. we picked a line and stood in it being last park day of Vacay we were just killing time for Fantasmic. After our line I forget what ride we did, we then wanted to get some food before our BTMR fast pass.
Went to Pacos Bill, had to wait in a 20-30 minute line to order, could not find a seat because you can only do that after you have food in hand. Ordered our food using the new Next Gen order area, had RFID room key. Then waited about 10-15 minutes for food. Then went to stand in the waiting for a table line. We had my Dis Grandma in Wheelchair, so had to wait extra long for a table we could wheel her to. By the time we were seated our fries were cold and burgers only luke warm. Once the CM(in charge of seating) thought we were done eating we were then herded out of the restaurant. We could barely use the restroom without a hard time.
Now to be honest I have worked that park during a capacity day and know just how many people are there. but Disney REALLY pissed me off with how it got handled. The cast members were rude. Word for word conversation with one. Pushing Grandma, CM "Wheres your food?", Me "The rest of our party is waiting for it.", CM "Well you can't come here until you have food in hand", Me "ok where can we wait because I could not get chair to serving counter?", CM "I don't know, I guess here outside the line", me"Ok". Then four different cast members told me that I could not wait there and that I needed "Food in Hand" to get this far into the restaurant.
After this experience I will never go to a park when it is anywhere near capacity. I can only imagine that it got worse after we left. On the other hand went to Hollywood Studios and had a great time at Fantasmic, somehow got the Character Meet and Greet after Show. And to those who think I may have gotten it due to squeaking the wheel, I emailed Guest Relations after getting home on the 22nd.
