Different: What don't you like at Disney ?

[jimmytammy]

What dont I like at WDW....thats easy.....Not being there

I love WDW and all it has to offer.

 

[doubletrouble_vb]

Cost

That driving is the best way there.

Not enough adult only stuff.

did I say the cost?

 

[Philadisney]

well, i really don't like that its in Florida. Why couldn't Walt have built it in, say, Connecticut?
While I disagree with Ian on Mickey, Minnie, and Donald, I do agree that Pluto is nothing special. And Goofy...he and I have a tumultuous relationship. I love his old cartoons (the "instructional" movies) but now I think he's gotten rather dumb and that outfit....so so hideous! It's always chaotic when I run into him at WDW! But seriously, Goofy's not a bad guy.

Hate the buses and will do most anything to avoid them. I prefer walking from BWV through Epcot to the Monorail to TTC and switching to MK monorail even though the bus is probably faster (and certainly less walking). WDW is supposed to be Magical, buses don't feel the least bit magical to me. Every now and then when I am forced to take a bus (like to DD or TL) I get a great driver that does make the trip more special, but it's still not the monorail.

Also dislike lines (fastpass is my friend!), people who push ahead of you in lines, bathrooms that are not clean (this was unheard of not too long ago), people who are really loud as they walk through the halls late at night, overkill on merchandising, attractions that are only open during busy times (which means I never get to see them since I only travel at less crowded times). And ITA with those who can't stand seeing parents screaming at their poor overloaded kids.

Well...I am getting a little tired of "stitch" invading EVERYTHING!! He's not my favorite.

But, my biggest complaint is that I don't own enough BCV points..but, I don't think I could EVER have enough.

THEY WON'T LET ME LIVE THERE!

Simple: The cost and the fact that everything is so commercialized.

The first time I went I couldn't understand why anybody would want to go to this oversized mall. Of course, it didn't help that it was in late July with temperatures in the upper 90s to lower 100s and that you had to wait almost 2 hours for some rides. A trip at Xmas time changed my opinion.

Groups with matching shirts who follow leaders with flags and take over everything they see...........

 

[MrTerrorChair]

If you love people, which I do, then anything at Disney, even waiting in line can be enjoyable and, yes, entertaining. I love watching people have a great time and I really enjoy watching people have a "moment" of meltdown. (I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.)

The only thing that can ruin a moment for me at WDW is a smoker. Sorry if you are one and you've lived with all the restrictions placed on your lifestyle. But even if you're outside in a spot that traffic has to tunnel through or by, those little smoke particles catch onto my clothing, hair, etc. and I can smell it all day. My allergic reaction kicks in and irritated eyes and lungs city, baby.

Smokers aren't bad people, their habit just kills me.

The bus transportation. I feel like an unsafe sardine.


We drive ourselves most of the time.

 

[sheryl0521]

Wow - my DH doesn't like the busses either and I thought he was odd for not liking them. I guess he isn't alone!
We always rent a car and drive it more and more on property. With the valet included with DVC, it makes it very convienent.
Although the price we are paying to rent during President's week is a bit steap, it is making him happy.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Well, I like the busses and talking to folks in line and while waiting for parades. I like saving a curbside seat for the parade and then at the last minute, giving it up to a small child who can't see. I even like the loud music! What I CAN'T tolerate are people who ignore the smoking rules and subject those of us who become ill from it to their habit, and loud abusive folks who probably should not have spent the money on the trip.

 

[Deemarch]

people are angry and rude in WDW, while I am so very happy. Unfortunately common sense and courtesy are lacking everywhere, so the world cannot escape it.

But the real thing that makes me crazy is that WDW is in Florida. I want to live in Florida and its not happening!!!!

That's it!!!

I'm thinking that cleaning up after the horses in the parades could even be a good job?????!!!!!

 

[mrsminniemouse]

I am sitting here thinking and thinking and thinking and I cannot think of ANYTHING I dislike about WDW!! They do it soooooo well. We went to DLP for New Year, boy do they have a lot to learn about doing things the Disney way. It's like they are playing at being a Disney park, sorry for those of you who love it there. Many of you would be shocked to see the smoking EVERYWHERE (in restaurants, in lines..) and the lack of organisation. Living here in England DLP is ok for a quick Disney fix but a very poor comparison to the 'real' thing.

I suppose the only thing I don't like about WDW is that it takes us over 8 hours on a plane to get there. No quick, impromtu trips for us!

1. Crowd dispersion/time killing techniques: shows that overlap so you can't get from one to the next, routing you the long way whenever possible, and those buses! I hate that you can't just get from one park to the next easily, always have to leave an hour earlier than you think.

2. Summer heat in Orlando. I'd love to visit WDW in summer, but I won't!

I completely agree! I cannot understand how people can be so miserable and yelling at their kids at the "happiest place on earth!"

 

[garydeb]

I guess the only thing I don't like is not having :
enough Points to stay longer
enough Leave to stay longer
enough Money to stay longer.......

Well I think I said ENOUGH

And for those of you who don't like dirty bathrooms part of this is your fellow travelers fault. Every year it seems that people get worse. Do they think Disney follows them around with a personal flusher??? You KNOW those women didn't go in that stall looking if it looked like that so WHY did they leave it a mess? Why do they consider putting TP all over the floor a right?

ITA!!! And don't forget the generation of women who were taught to pee standing up. (My mom is of this generation). I HATE it when I see someone leave a stall, only to go in and find that there is pee all over the seat!! I actually HAVE turned around and "notified" the woman that she left pee on the seat. It is my MAJOR pet peeve. Newsflash: It is these very women (who are SOO concerned about cleanliness) that make the bathrooms so dirty to begin with!!! My mom and I go around and around about this.

Sorry for the rampage...it just hit a nerve!!!

CarolA I agree that people should flush and not make a mess in bathrooms, but I don't think people get messier every year. I hate to say it but there will always be slobs among us, regardless of color, creed, class, sex, or any other group you can think of.

There used to just about always be someone in every ladies room cleaning up after the thoughtless folks. I remember being amazed the first time I went to a bathroom in a busy WDW restaurant, the sink area looked to have been wiped down dry just before I entered, and looked the same way when I took my daughter in later on. There was no TP on the floor or unflushed bowls (well I didn't do an official bowl check, but years ago I never went into a stall that had that issue).

While I don't excuse slobs, I truly think the bathrooms are not staffed the way they used to be, and this is why they are dirtier than they were in the past.
