The weather has finally warmed up down here, it is high 70s. The marathon crowds have arrived and it is packed everywhere.
I am staying at sports. I normally enjoy staying on Disney property, however, having a time share at the Marriott Grande vista by sea world, I am all too spoiled by space. While I appreciate the 24 hour magic aspect, the amenaties are terrible. Where are the tv stations, half of them are Disney, a large percentage are religious or international. At my timeshare, I have satelittle. There is no internet, I have free internet there. And the room is cramped and I hear crying babies and toilets flushing all night. At my timeshare, I have a a kingsize townhome with everything I could possibly want. And i realize i would rather have a car. I appreciate the aspect of sit back and let them do the driving, but i need my freedom. The fact that i am spending $10 on a burger at sports when i could drive to a fast food place and get alot more food for half the price. And the portions are terrible, 10 French fries per platter?
Nonetheless, i love Disney hotels but i realize, i have out grown them. My timeshare is where i belong where i can escape the Disney magic and actually be on vacation and relax in my whirlpool that is my room or participate in spa treatments that are not even a quarter the price of Disney.
I have decided i will not return to Disney until spring 2013. This will allow the proposed new attractions to be open. But Disney seems dry this trip. It all seems so manufactured. Less magic and more about treating guests like a number ( get you in and get you out). I am not renewing my annual pass for this reason. And with further rumours about xpass and making their higher end clientale VIP, i am good on Disney.
I know i am alone in my thinking but it is what it will be. I love Disney but i will not pay all this money for a dry, uninviting experience.
