It is what it is... And the past is gone.
Crowds and Prices
Crowds and Prices
Some say the crowds are low right now... Some say the crowds are terrible. Guess it depends on the month, days, and times. But I see more reports of excessive overcrowding. Plus the heat of summer. Long wait times.

This is what we were used to on a normal basis... Those days are gone...
Everything changes over time. Prices...
We could buy a 7 day ticket for $247 or $35 per day. A mere 10 years ago.
All this begs the question... is Disney still worth going to. Depends on past experience and your perspective. If you have never been there before or is been a long time and only a few times... You will still possibility enjoy the visit. Given our perspective from years of extensive enjoyment (2004-2011) it would be disappointing to return. Despite the new attractions.... Prices, crowds, all the changes in ticketing and park reservations, changes to dining reservations, changes to fast passes ( the new lightening lanes) once free and easily available now being sold, VIP packages being sold for preferred seating to shows, parades, and fireworks. Add to this all the things that are deminished or have been eliminated. All the construction and things that are torn up to build a better tomorrow. Epcot is a mess.
Too many attractions are shut down without notice. Too many attractions go down to mechanical issues. And then there's the ongoing power failures that shut down attractions.
Too many issues recently that change or spoil your plans.
The biggest complaint I see is... THE DISNEY MAGIC IS GONE. THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPONTANEITY... If you want to see and do as much as possible everything has to be prescheduled and regiment within time frames. Otherwise you get what you get. And what's the fun in that?
But that's just my perspective. Just not worth it any more or at least right now.
