We were there May 10-14. A lot of resorts were sold out, but the parks were not full. We rode many of the headliners, many twice, at 3 of the 4 parks (skipped Hollywood this trip). Longest wait was Tron and Cosmic Rewind (and Les Halles ), but we rode both multiple times throughout our day. Had a fantastic trip, really accomplished so much!

One of your responses mentions that on a slow day that SDMT or Tron is a 60+ minute wait. This isn’t a good example of a “slow day”. This might be slower than normal, but for most people experiencing Disney World this is an 8/10 in terms of “busy”. As of late it might be more socially acceptable to refer to these days as slow, but that is just hurting the brand for those who rely on it.

I am glad that you pointed to the reduced hours since Covid. Disney World used to be open longer, and have more staffing than it does today. The company can no longer blame that on the pandemic, its business strategy to reduce costs. If they want to increase capacity, they can and should increase hours. Based on Florida weather, they should be looking at doing that to support guests during more temporate hours. It’s getting very hot in the midday sun, and so being able to burn the candle at both ends more would be appreciated. One of the benefits of being on-site is the ability to go back to the room more easily for a siesta.

Disney should be doing more with their waterparks. Only having one open during 3/4 of the year is limiting usage. The checkin day feature is good. They should be following that up with a desk/booth near the exit offering upgrades to include them for the rest of the stay.

In reply to Dave. We just stayed at Wilderness Lodge. The cooler in the regular hotel rooms kept a half gallon of milk very cold.

In reply to Hayes. Quick note: Those coolers DO NOT get cold enough to keep medicine. Note to LIZ: If you have medicine tell the front desk and they will provide you with a small refrigerator or they will keep it in one for you.

In reply to Hayes. Agree! I do not like the idea of just a beverage cooler. We usually have a villa, however this year we will be trying a regular room and I am not sure how this will work. I am wondering if anyone has tried putting ice in the cooler and if that has lowered the temperature? We would be able to get ice as we have a car. I know a few times we lost power at home and putting ice in the drawers of the refrigerator helped extend the life of the food (regular ice - not dry ice). I still wouldn't trust it for my medicine though.
