Stay with Disney?

Starting with Disney... Lots has changed. 

Most of the perks are now gone. 

Needless to say... Prices are up. 
Discounted prices are higher than the old regular price. 

Disney Hotel Rooms. 
The rooms use to be cheerful & colorful. 

Now... Kind of a list down

Economy hotel room.

Even the Special Themed rooms are not quite as magical

How they use to look...

And how they look now...

And there are other issues...

Even at the Grand Floridian

(and at those prices)

What people are saying...

And,  to mention a few, 

there are others changes too. 

Magical Express - discontinued

Parking at the Hotels - $25 per night.

Changes in Extra Magic hours

Changes in Genie Lightening Lanes

( the old fast pass system)

Longer wait time for the bus transports.

There is no Disney dining plan for hotel guests. 

Our next visit... staying off property.

If you have a choice, check out what attractions 

and rides,  and restaurants are closed for your visit.

If you visited frequently at Disney

Lots of things have changed from what you were 

use to on previous visits. 

Some new attractions, 

Some closed for refurbishment. 
Some new ones not yet open. 
Some restaurants are still not open. 

And be prepared get reservations for the parks, 

Restaurants,  and attractions via passes. 
It's all very regimented now...

No more freedom to be spontaneous. 
You will need to be on their scheduled for most things. 

Personally I enjoyed the old ways,  

No schedule,  do what you want, when  you want.
