Disney. One statement to sum up the current state of affairs in the park.

Exited Epcot and not one cast member acknowledged anyone leaving.
First time I have ever seen that happen. 8-10 cast members, even a couple of plaids were just hanging out not doing anything.
Crazy. Bar is definitely being lowered and Genie is a crap shoot at best. Both Cast Members and Guests hate it
Going to be a while before we go back. Going to use DVC points for things like Hilton Head and the exchanges.
Parks need a lot of work.

Where's the one statement?

It’s good hearing these reports. We’ve been planning on taking the kids, and the $3000+ budget expectations are unnerving. We’re not made of money, so Disney would probably end up being the biggest vacation we take our kids on in their elementary years.

Funny you start this conversation. My wife was talking about us going there this year as our youngest is now 4. Been about 5 years. I told her that I’d read this on TD a few months back. Guess it’s still the case.

EPCOT = Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow
quote:
Known as "EPCOT", an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, the idea included an urban city center, residential areas, industrial areas, schools, and a series of mass transportation systems that would connect the community. After Disney's death in 1966, the "EPCOT" concept was abandoned as the company was uncertain about the feasibility of operating a city.
Hmm… I wonder what ole Walt really had in mind?

There was trash falling out garbage cans when we went..
I can I think of a more non-Disney state of affairs.

We went in January of this year. Cast Members were all extremely nice and courteous.
Park was pretty packed for off peak but seems that’s the trend. Although I do hear from regulars that make multiple trips that it’s declining and costs are rising. They’re still short staffed as is everyone these days.

Go on a Disney cruise. You will not regret spending the money and your kids will love it. I promise!

Yeah…definitely a lot more litter in the parks.

Unless you're neck deep in Pixar and princesses, Universal is twice as good, for half the price.

Yeah. The magic is still in the resorts and experience where you don’t have to visit a park. Hilton Head and Vero Beach are great too.

It’s a $10,000 trip anymore and that’s just doing average things.
And on top of that, they try and hire just anybody for every character and it doesn’t work

Ah, it’s the weekly Disney thread.

Took the family when the kids were young, had a good time but to me Disney is one of those things you see once and that's enough. Too many other vacation attractions in this country to limit yourself to doing one thing over and over.

I heard he had a daycare planned at Epcot.

If that's your budget go somewhere else.
You might be able to park there for 3k.

Ya, if your kids are to small to enjoy the rides, the cruise had tons of access to characters and a crap ton of stuff to do. If you can get them to go to the kids club thing there is a lot of stuff for adults only as well.
