What are some positives about WDW today?

[56srogers]

My family will be going back again this year,and I see mixed opinions on WDW. However I was wondering what postives there are out there people have experienced.

Not on here; but I still enjoy the safari at AK and eating at Flame Tree BBQ. The Christmas shops are always a fun stop for me too.

Good Vibes 99%..Bad Vibes 1%..

I've always found less than1% bad! Disney is pure magic and with a little planning and pixie dust you can create memories that can't be bought. I have walls full of pictures of special memories. When people ask me why I spend money on a trip I show them our pictures and they seem to understand a little more. Special time with your children is so limited in our busy culture we try to enjoy what down time we have. And it's the only place my boys get along 100% of the time.

* Polite and well trained CM's.
* A fairly clean-cut environment.
* Immersive and quality entertainment experiences.
* A variety of options for family member's interests.

Agree.My 1% bad vibe is having to leave the magic and head home.

My favorite attraction is the Haunted Mansion.

Our last trip was in October 2011. We stayed in a 1 BR Savannah view at Kidani. Loved the view and the entire experience. The night vision viewing by the fire pit is really fun. The CM interaction was excellent and all of the resort and park facilities were clean and in working order. The closest thing we had to a problem was we saw some water seeping under the door from the next room. We called the front desk and within 5 minutes the maintenance folks arrived and checked on it and found it was just a leeking styrofoam cooler the guests in that room were using. They let us know what they found and thanked us for alerting them. Going back in March 2013 staying at BLT and can't wait.

Those guests were never seen/heard from again...

When you book a complete package ( yes you pay for it) you have absolutely nothing to worry about once you're at WDW. You plan ahead ( but for me that's the fun of it all) and you savor every bite at the restaurants, enjoy the peace of your resort ( the pool/ pool bar) , and just love love love it all ! The music, the laughter, and the magical moments you experience at WDW are moments you'll never forget! I promise.

Honestly, I don't think anyone here is anti-Disney, but there are a lot of negative threads here as we're concerned about having things fixed before they get out of hand. That said, there are a lot of positives such as it being the cleanest park I've ever been to, fantastic atmosphere all around, Cast Members are usually always in an upbeat mood, and going back to atmosphere, it is easy to get caught up in the "magic" of it all, especially if you make it a point to not drive anywhere and stay at WDW, as it is a nice escape from everything else. Just walking around MK and sitting in the Harbor House is very relaxing and enjoyable.

There are 2 things that, IMHO, are just about as good as ever at WDW: the resorts (i.e. hotels) and the water parks. Go enjoy these and don't worry too much about the rest.

Whit! Negative threads I hear you say.Don't be silly.Disney have holiday makers jotting down the things that need fixed and cleaned like mould on roof tops,etc.You go ahead and enjoy the magic.

The negatives you experience on here are twofold. First, those of us who have such an unwavering love of WDW that it borders on unhealthy obsession so we see every small bit if minutia and feel compelled to discuss it. Second, those who were not hugged enough as a child and seek to doom and gloom.

There are a couple of issues that are actual real stumbling blocks for WDW right now but absolutely nothing that should keep you from going or could keep you from having an awesome vacation. Do not be put off by the negativity, I guarantee you will feel great and not notice the things that are talked to death here on the forum.

You were right on all of your other stuff too, I just wanted to focus in on these people. Here's my latest business venture for them:

...I promise the facilities are cleaner underneath.

There are many positives about WDW. I enjoy every parks even with their faults. HS is a full day park for me which is good. I've made many memories with my family that can't be replaced my bad management and I still don't let it get it in the way. DTD is growing on me especially with splitsville

All I can think of when it comes to positive thoughts today are the memories of vacations back in the early 90's. While I still enjoy visiting WDW very much, I just cannot find that WOW factor that was once a very common occurance in years past.

Edit: I wanted to add that my favorite ride I selected in the survey is Splash because of depth of story, the vast amount of AA's and is (was) visually beautiful throughout the ride. Unfortunately it does not leave me with a single current positive thought to be found.

Its better than work. But seriously, what kind of post is this? Whats the good part of WDW??? The positives way outweight the negatives. Sure I understand a couple of things bugging you, but if you can't find the positives you probably shouldn't go to WDW.

You make a good point.
