They say that with the post pandemic push to go places, the most popular place is Walt Disney World. Understandable. But what's the experience going to be. Many times the parks are at capacity. And while capacity is somewhat of a objective nature, elevated capacity of the parks means several things. Bigger crowds and much longer wait times for rides and attractions. Coupled with high prices for everything, massive construction projects, past and projected price increases, refurbishment closures, and the all too frequent breakdowns... It's clear to see that right now is not the time to plan a Disney trip. Paying more for a greatly reduced sometimes aggregating disappointing experience takes away that Disney magic. I remember going to Magic Kingdom when a busy day was 60,000 guests... too crowded to fully enjoy your day... At least compared to those days when there was only 40,000 guests... Those days are gone forever. The new capacity for Magic Kingdom is 100,000 guests. But, they say sometimes you could hit it lucky and occasionally get a less crowded day. In any event, the word now is that there is no off season... Crowds are here to sta, as are the elevated wait times.
Personally, I'd wait a couple of years to plan a vacation, when perhaps things have settled down. Where hopefully crowds will be somewhat less, though prices will certainly be higher.
Plus, there's all the changes. The Genie+ system, charges for fast passes, and the need for not only a ticket, but reservations just to get into the parks. Too many changes, too many issues.
