Like about 80 million families this summer, I took my kids to Disney World.

 MISTAKE!

I knew it would be crowded, but nothing prepared me for the non-stop jostling and impossibly long lines for everything everywhere in the park. Many of the rides had lines up to 2 hours long. 2 HOURS!!

Disney has a Fast Pass system, which helped us a bit, but I'm convinced that contributes to the long lines.

I don't know what Walt was thinking when he plopped the park down in Florida, but it sure wasn't consideration for summertime visitors. Every single day was over 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity. The park does provide some shade and mist devices, but with the outrageously long lines, people were standing out in full sun for much of the day.

Sweat, sunburn, and hot tempers are a TOTAL part of the equation for any Disney trip. Why don't all the idiots raving about this park mention some of that brutal truth?? (I think it's because most of the reviews on this site are FAKE. When you have shills writing B.S., you overlook details like honest, straightforward experiences.)

 Speaking of honesty, how about the nagging little fact that Disney charges some of the highest admission prices of all theme parks? And how about the indisputable FACT that their multi-day discounts and season passes are THE MOST EXPENSIVE in the theme park industry.

Food is horrible in the parks, and way overpriced.

HIGH PRICES, HUGE CROWDS, SWEAT, SUNBURN, AND HOT TEMPERS. That's what a Disney vacation is made of.

True facts...no B.S.

We did Universal. . .with teens it worked so much better and lines were shorter. I could also bring in food. Give it a try next time if you have older kids.
