My first trip was in 85. You could get an ADR the same day or 3 days early if in a disney hotel. My early vacations were very relaxing but not any more. Society has changed, its more me me. Disney has changed to needing to get ADRs 180 day out & now they want you to reserve rides. I dont go as oftern, dont do ADR, get counter meals unless something is open at city hall. Lots of the little whimsy stuff is gone, talking drinking fountains & working phone booths is UK. Am I whining probably but also going less, spending less. One of these days it will end because the world will no longer be relaxing. My brothers recent comment shows how 1 former disney nut feels. He asked,
When will they want you to reserve bathroom breaks 30 days in advance?
And i dont think we was joking.
