A huge savings for dining if you do full sit-down lunch and dinner in the park every day. If you prefer fast/cheap food for one or more meals a day then it's a bad investment.

Just do the math before you spend on a meal plan, it's not a deal for many families.

The Dining Plan requires intentional use to extract any value. You literally have to use it at table service dining, ordering the most expensive items, AND order alcohol with meals, along with using snack credits for the most expensive snack items otherwise it's a definite money-loser.

Really to come out ahead on the dining plan takes way too much effort and planning and intention for a modest "gain."

The vast majority of people will do better not getting the dining plan. It's actually stressful to utilize if your goal is to get absolute fullest value from it.

And even if you come out "ahead," it's only relative to the cost of what you ordered. Would you have ordered the most expensive dish and an alcoholic drink if you paid in cash? More than likely not. Especially if you have a week-long vacation where you do this day after day.

So even if you come out ahead on paper, you're doing so by ordering stuff you otherwise wouldn't order and using that as your gauge.

Overcrowded parks...everything is an extra fee. Everywhere you go at Disney is a money grab opportunity. People expecting 25% tips on already super inflated prices. The experience has deteriorated so much in the past 10 years alone.

I love these criticisms. Ever been to a theme park in the past decade? The express lanes cost more than Disney. The food is by far worse. And the lines are long.

Do yourself a favor and take a trip to Universal or Dollywood or pick a park. A la carte upcharges at all of them—-worse than Disney. And the wait times are just as bad—with fewer attractions, worse shows, etc.

Total cost is more at Disney, but that's because it's the best and most popular theme park destination.

Universal, et al., are quickly escalating in cost. And the up charges are by far worse.

We booked May 5-10 for $4600 for 4 (flights, hotel, car). $1254 back in Costco cards, making it essentially $3346 if you consider those as cash. It's quite a deal for Aulani, and even most 4+* hotels on most islands.
How the heck? I'm trying the same dates for 4 from LAX and coming in at about 6k with $139 shop card.

Ah, it's the Internet—people love to hate.

Disney falls into two categories: either you get it, or you don't. I grew up with Disney movies, went to the parks as a kid, so Disney trips are part of my vacation choices.

Other people never went to Disney as kids. They don't really care for old Disney movies. They have few childhood memories of Disney relevance at all. So naturally they don't understand the appeal of a Disney vacation.

I'm definitely not a fan of Disney's slippages. Their hiring standards have fallen as a reflection of the company as a whole.

But I enjoy the parks and see them for what they were in the 90s/early 2000s. The overarching missteps of the company I look past because I enjoy what the parks still have from yesteryear despite garbage management.

All these anti-Disney folk will cry about upcharges, yet if they bothered to go to any theme park, they'd be forking over $80-100 minimum per day to "upgrade" their tickets for priority lines. Disney charges $15-30 and they get up in arms. All the B and C level theme parks charge 3-8x that every day of the week.

We get it—Disney isn't a cheap vacation. But neither are any other theme parks these days. If anything, everyone else is catching up to Disney pricing, which should garner more of an outrage given most theme parks don't warrant it.

The family went to Disney world for the first time last year (son was in the parade with his school jazz band). what impressed me the most about the parks where how clean they were (no bird poop on ANYTHING), and how the Disney couples (Aladdin and Jasmin), genuinely looked like they where into each other on the floats... that was ALL the couples. You don't get that from great America at least not the one in Illinois.

while on deployment, I went to Disneyland Tokyo in the late 90s.. the only things I remember is how it seemed like half the park was closed, and they really needed someone to walk around and clean up all the leaves. The only rides I remember going on where space mountain and the haunted mansion.

AVOID COSTCO TRAVEL LIKE THE PLAGUE. You may think you're saving some money but you will end up royally screwed if ANYTHING does not go according to plan. I booked a package with them and had an issue with my initial flight. It took over 2 hours to get a human on the line and that point the flight had already left. The airlines and hotels won't help you if you use Costco Travel. And unfortunately their customer service is beyond useless. I thought I was saving money but it ended up costing me over $2K to rebook last minute tickets and salvage what was left of my vacation. NEVER AGAIN COSTCO

It sounds like you missed your flight, and you're trying to blame Costco. Everybody knows that you should be at an airport two hours before your flight, possibly three these days, since airports will give your seats away to other people if they overbook a flight.

It's cheaper to do a Disney Cruise out to San Diego if you can drive or find cheap flights, however the shorter cruises don't go to Cabo anymore( 7 nights do), only Catalina Island and Ensenada. A
We still go to DL/Cali Adventure during the Christmas season because we love the decorations and atmosphere. The experience at Dl has changed, we spend a lot of time on our phones planning our schedule vs grabbing a free fast pass ticket for the rides you want to do back in the day. Too much planning ahead now vs just enjoying the parks and hopping on a ride or the kids see something they want to do.
