Has anybody backed out of taking the kids to Disney because of the reservation system?

I am taking my son to Orlando for the first time this summer and looking forward to taking him to the theme parks. We are staying at one of the Universal Resorts and got tickets for Universal Studios, Adventure Island, and Volcano Bay. Just for staying at the Universal resort, we get unlimited express pass.

I have been on the fence about Disney because of all the bad stories I have heard on YouTube and people I know who went after the 2020 pandemic closure. I have heard a lot of people complain about the reservation system and how stressful it is. Luckily, my son always talked about wanting to go to Universal Studios and hardly ever talks about Disney. For those who have went to Disney the last few years, is the reservation system bad like I have heard?

My wife and sister in law had that shite down to a science. Seems like a good system if you know how to use it.

I went Universal a little over a year ago and did the VIP Tour Experience (Link)

It’s been ten years since I donated to the Mouse in Orlando.

I did go to Disneyland in ‘17 for one day, it was a Sunday in January and not crowded. It was acceptable.

I did, but not because of their reservation system… I did because of their Wokeness and grooming

Disney is for pedos, groomers, and trannys. A patriot would not support their agenda.

Universal is fun and if you are staying on property, there are great perks. The portofino was worth it.

We went and had no trouble doing whatever we wanted
The reservation system is better than fast pass if you plan it right
With that said I highly recommend getting to park at opening
If you want to do everything spur of the moment it will suck
We never stayed late at a park either due to age of our kids

Women are terrible at logistics until they get to Disney. Then they suddenly become rocket scientists. Don’t ask me why

It’s literally as simple as “select attraction” on the genie+ app.

Some rides you pay outright for a lightning lane pass (Guardians of the Galaxy, Seven Dwarves, Rise of the Resistance).

It’s about as easy as possible, what a weird thing to consider canceling your trip over.

Wife had a work conference last week at A resort at Disney. I took the kids and I used the genie and it was easy to use… it’s expensive as I’m sure you know… as far as the negative comments. I’m a conservative and I had reservations. But I chose to go and spend time with the kids. The only woke thing I saw in the parks was a few rainbow flag pins.. it’s like this, I guarantee your bank, where you buy groceries. Etc. is in on this woke agenda…. The same people shitting on it eat up the NFL etc
I will say I do monitor what they watch. But it’s just a six flags on steroids

I took my 2.5 year old son to Disney over Thanksgiving and the Genie system is great. I also saw zero "woke" or "groomer" stuff that people talk about. My advice is just go and don't believe everything you read on the internet.

We used travel agents who specialized in Disney and didn’t have to think about anything.
