Disney World - Observations from my first trip

Most other countries seem to be bilingual
Americans are fatasses.
Asian women fawn over some Disney characters.
That place has to be miserable in July.
Their customer service is outstanding. You can ask the janitor, popcorn salesman or the CEO for directions and they will bend over backwards helping you.
Epcot seems to be more adult themed but kids don't notice that at all.
The entire park is awesome.
I would rank the park in order
Hollywood Studios
Magic Kingdom
Epcot
Animal Kingdom
I could easily make Epcot number-one.

I would put Animal Kingdom first and Hollywood last. Epcot 2nd and MK 3rd.

I would never touch Disney during the summer months, but, yeah, Disney is a great time, especially with kids.

Mother-in-Law went to Tokyo Disneyland and said it is way worse there.

My number 1 spot at Disney World. Go during the Food and Wine Festival and it's even better.

interesting.
i find there just isn't enough to do In Hollywood Studios after you do Rockin Roller Coaster.
And it isn't like you can go on it again and again twitch its 180 minute line (just give it to me in hours, disney)

I can personally vouch for this. I worked there back in college. You'll get a verbal warning for not smiling. Fired/demoted employees for sneaking thru the backstage to get on rides on their day off. They even trained us on how to point your finger the proper way when a guest asked for directions.

Mrs. Smokey and I want to take the 'lil Smokey's, but they have raised the prices a lot since she worked there in college. Guess it's time to refinance the house...
That said if you stay on Disney property, you will pay a lot more but there are some amenities and conveniences that you don't get if you stay off property.

Like others said, this park is simply amazing during the Food and Wine festival.
It has jumped to my overall favorite park after that exprience.

Never been to the Food and Wine Festival but I want to go. Also went to Hollywood Studios during Star Wars weekend(s). That was a lot of fun, especially seeing a couple little people (midgets, not kids) dressed as Yoda and jawas.

On one of those stupid buzzfeed-type lists they had something about the staff at disneyworld. Something like they were so highly trained that you could put a piece of gum on the ground and come back in the morning and it'd be gone.
How meticulous is the training, like how long does it last?

Went this past year, was drunk by noon. It's amazing and that's an understatement. Most food at each country are $3-4 for a sample size. Same for beer. I wouldn't even make reservations at a restaurant because you'll sample so much during that time.

Yeah I was talking to my wife and I said there is plenty of time and money driving that home behind the scenes.

Tuesday night, check out Sunday.
Stayed at All Star Movies. Son loved it, the outside is nice, the room itself is not nice. Not bad, it's just an Econo Lodge type room.
I just added up the food and drinks to compare to a meal plan for next trip and food and drinks came to $640.
Hotel and Parks(Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) Downtown Disney which is free of course Tues. $1360 5 night hotel stay with 4 day park hopper passes. After all said and done, travel, hotel, park passes, etc... $2000

I've been there way too many times to count, but this last November we did a behind the scenes tour of Magic
Kingdom. Some of the shite that goes on behind the scenes is mind blowing.
For examlpe, they pump popcorn and fresh baked goods smells on to Main Street, they have sightlines marked behind the scenes to signify where customers can see you, and all kinds of crazy shite.
The funniest thing I saw on that tour was Snow White smoking a ciggarette and not smiling at all.
