Recently returned to WDW after about 10 years. Wow what a mistake…. Few new rides, hundreds of things cut or eliminated. Parks in disrepair…. And of course the price of everything is astronomical…. WDW has become nothing but an expensive version of Six Flags living off the fading legacy of Walt. Sad. Will not return.
Pay more for less. Seems to be the Disney way. Best way to avoid all the price increases is to simply avoid Disney world. Lol.
