Anyone else think it's crazy how bad the DCA Food Festivals are ran from an ops/crowd control perspective?
My experiences in December's Festival of the Holidays and February's Lunar New Year:
-Booths are too small with not enough product/staffing, meaning huge lines
-Little to no shade
- Barely any seating throughout the festival route
- The Festival Route IS the Parade route, so anytime it is close to parade time the whole festival area becomes a nightmare with a giant unmovable crowd
Surely Disney can do better. Shade tarps and tables can't be that hard to add to the park. Maybe its time the booths are spread throughout the park (Grizzly River, Cars Land, Hollywood, Pixar Pier), instead of clogging up the main walkway (that is also a parade route).
Also small 5 foot portable buildings may not be sufficient for serving people at a busy themepark.
Does anyone making ops decisions observe the chaos these festivals cause, how are they OK with this?
