    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    Did they charge extra for Christmas parties in 1995?

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    I've been saying that for years. What's next? = a chip in the brain so people can carry on whole conversations without having to leave their own heads and not having to make a sound. Mutants. haha

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    I guess some of the smaller kiddie rides like Dumbo, Tea Cups, Under the Sea, Goofy, Aladdin arent as busy as the bigger rides. Pirates was busted when we were there last week. In addition, park wasnt as crowded on a rainy day? Its a shame you didnt get to see the show on the Castle. I think...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    Yes. We have always enjoyed chatting with the people in line. But, you are right, now everyone is busy on their phones. Its so nice to be outside and enjoying the day. Cant imagine why people want to just focus on their phones. Maybe they are looking up wait times for the next ride? Last year we...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    I hope so. I'm afraid the gate price will keep going up and people will still keep going. I know the long lines keep us from going. What's the point of being there if you cant ride? A 2 or 3 hour wait for a 3 or 4 minute ride is insane.

    There giving out fast passes and then people dont use them. There has to be a way to control people having passes and then dont cancel them if they arent going to use them.

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    And it has been replaced by greed and $$$$$. So no changes. Just more ways to make more money. I wonder what Walt would have to say if he saw his vision today. Just imagine if everyone was to boycott the parks and not go for just ONE DAY in protest of long lines. Maybe the cut off amount of how...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    I guess the cast members get grumpy too since they are being pushed, shoved & poked by the crowds. Its just not a good day anymore. They need to think of something else to disperse the crowds. I hate the new fast passes. The ones they had before (kiosks) worked better. Now people put in for the...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    The parks used to be a wonderful escape where everyone was happy and having a good time. Now people are grumpy because they paid a lot to get in and then only got on a few rides after waiting in long lines. I feel sorry for the poor little kids that are waiting in line for hours for a few...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    That's exactly what we are doing. The chances of us getting in to see Star Wars or Pandora are zero. So what's the point of continuing to pay year round? All of the resorts get the passes 60 days in advance. By the time we get on at 30 days advance, passes are gone. We are faithful fans of...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    BTW - We have been going to Disney for about 50 yrs. First in Disneyland & now Disneyworld. The times have changed for faithful Disney goers. No, we never had to check for hours, our tickets got us in the gate until the park closed. I know, time marches on. Now the parks are making alot more...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    You are right. We were STUPID to drive to Disney and expect to stay our usual hours until 10 so we could see the Xmas show on the castle. We have never had to check in previous years (long ago) to see about Xmas parties or magic hours. STUPID us for continuing to pay for resident passes year...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    We are FL resident season passholders & after 10 yrs we are ready to "Hang Up Our Ears"...we were at MK yesterday. After driving for one hour, parking our car & walking to gate, we were told that the park would be closing at 6 pm because "Mickey's Xmas Party" needed an extra ticket ($$) and they...

    Soarin Over the World, percentage of CGI?

    I dont care how they do it. I LOVE Soaring. Most of the movies made today are computer generated. So what? It's all about good entertainment.

    Why is WDW so stressful, expensiv and overcrowded these days? The fear of dissapointment from a 2020-First-Timer

    You can only fast pass a few rides and most of the really good rides are booked.

    Why is WDW so stressful, expensiv and overcrowded these days? The fear of dissapointment from a 2020-First-Timer

    I too dont like that the parks have dipped into the hours of operation in order to charge more for "Magic Hours." In the old days the parks were open until 11:00pm or 12:00 on weekends so you had plenty of time even if you had to wait in line. Now with later opening and early closing, and long...

    The fallacy of overcrowded parks......

    My answer to overcrowded Magic Kingdom park is to build another one. Why do they keep enlarging the original parks as the population gets larger & even more people are crammed into them? They have the land, why dont they use it? What wrong with building a 5th park? I know it costs a lot of...

    What will Disney’s response be to Universals 4th gate?

    Disney raises prices all the time. They dont need a reason except more $$$$.
