I went to Disney world about 2 years ago and was so underwhelmed. Other than 1 show and the parade, almost everything else was a let down to me. The parks needs a renovation in the worst way. Everything looks like how it probably looked in the 70s.

Epcot is going to be getting a major renovation over the next couple years. Tomorrowland in magic kingdom is getting expanded and updated.

You'd think that Tomorrowland would require renovations every day.

But beyond that..... I have visited every state in the US save for Maine, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii. Seen the Grand Canyon, LA, San Fran, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Dallas, Denver, Cheyenne, Mount Rushmore, Red Wing MN, Washington DC, NY City, Philadelphia, Gatlinburg, Rutland VT, Boston, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Amelia Island, etc....etc....you get my point. I have traveled all over the US and to Australia overseas...spent 6 months in Spain as a Foreign Exchange student when I was younger. Saw a lot of Europe with my exchange family. Don't always make the assumption that just because someone has a favorite place that they don't expand horizons. |

Nice try.....this sounds like an answer I would get from the crazies over at the Facebook Disney Junkies group.
To this point most of your posts about Disney have been pretty sane and reasonable. But I am not a newbie when it comes to planning for Disney....up to this point all my visits (yes, all 50 of them) I have come away very happy, pleased with the Disney Magic. This time I wasn't...that doesn't make make me a poor planner, just someone who didn't receive the best of service this time. When we made our reservations in April....during our last stay, we weren't told that they would be refurbishing the front 3 buildings at that time. Had we been told, we might have chosen a resort a step up. I am an Annual Passholder and won't stop going....we enjoy staying on property. Just disappointed in the service this time. |

The wife and I have talked about going to an overseas trip that would include a stop at a Disney owned property. Our stumbling block at this point is we have 28 y/o son with Asperger's who doesn't travel well on a plane. And unfortunately no one who we trust to be able to take care of him while we travel.

Walt Disney World
It sounds like you may have had some higher than normal expectations for this trip, especially given the frequency with which you go, with this one being a bit more special for you compared to most. It is nice when they surprise you with perks and benefits but part of what makes them special is that you aren’t typically expecting them. But because this was a more unique and special trip I can see you hoping for something to help make it standout from the others long after leaving the park.
Things like a cast member here and there not being on top of their game happens as you know (though not frequently) but that being part of any feeling of wanting more seems really nit picky. I get that you hoped for more such as the room upgrade but expecting it is different and the not getting it factoring into a somewhat negative experience seems a bit unfair.

I was a Disney World cast member, an awesome one at that. I received many awards and trained new cast members. One day I found out my grandma had cancer AND I was trying to pass a kidney stone all day long. I didn’t act very “Disney” that day and a guest called me a prick and said I need to be more magical. My point is, you never know what people are going through, and sometimes it’s difficult to be on every day all day.

What I am saying is that all my experiences with Disney have been with a touch of magic, so I know what to expect as normal. This time it didn't have that same touch of magic) I didn't expect them to give us a room upgrade (to a suite or larger room) I just didn't expect to be put at the furthest point from the main building in one of the oldest rooms in the place. And for clarification I just alluded to the Front Desk Cast Member in particular as an illustration. There were other issues that we ran into with other Cast Members I didn't elaborate on because it would take too long. (The Disney reservations group comes to mind) |

But having attended several seminars that were given by Disney associates it is weird that they made you work on a day you might not be your best due to family issues. |
