Board 8 > Oh god Slinky Dog is closed.

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is the worst Disney Park.

People are camped out in the line anyway.

Tower of Terror, Midway Mania(i think midway is dropped here for some reason actually but its a clone), and rockn are all already packed.

Just riding Mater Clone because i have fastpasses for the 3 above.

No signs of Slinky opening soon.

I think when I went Rock and Rollercoaster was closed for most of the day which was the one that I didnt have a fast pass for so I didnt do it

Slinky Dog was ok, if you liked Mine Train youd like it

Does fast passes actually save that much time if everyone can use them?

I am literally here to ride Slinky Dog and Tower of Terror.

Everything else is clones and a not greatly themed roller coaster.

It does

I dont think there was a fast pass I didnt wait more than fifteen minutes for.

They are about park dispersion and theoretically increase standby wait times throughout the park.

But on an individual basis the time waited in a fastpass line will be anywhere from 5 to 25 percent of the total standby line.

Oh and I'm also here for Fantasmic even though it is the far inferior version Fantasmic is always great.

Okay that's good. My plan is to fast pass 3 early rides and keep refreshing it thru out the day. Run to first ride. Fast pass one for like an hour later and the rest for like 45 mins each after. Then refresh it. Ad infinitum.
---

Now tower of terror is down too rockn and mania standby lines must be a nightmare m

It is definitely the worst Disney park
---

Luckily Slinky reopened a litte but ago or I would have been really unhappy.

Also the price to deliciousness ratio on food here is horrible compared to Disneyland. If you arent spending more than 20 dollars on an item chances are it is nothing but standard amusement park fare.

Some of the better meals at Disneyland can be had for under 10 dollars.

Eat anywhere good yet?
---

Negative.

Though i have a favorite spot to load up on quick service desserts at Epcot tomorrow (France).

Wow that's one of my favorite parks.
---

Are you like a theme park snob? Is that a thing?
---

No way theme parks are usually pretty great.

Also Tower of Terror is my favorite ride here and it is currently temporarily closed. I am not going to be happy if it does not reopen.

I am all sorts of unhappy right now about to go stress eat.

Ive never been to Disney, what are the different parks?

I was upset and needed to stuff my face with comfort food so i made last minute reservations at 50s prime time cafe.

Menu is a mix of plaza inn and carnation cafe at Disneyland. Food was good the in character cm's were fun. Dont think young kids would get the joking but all the adults inside had fun.

I liked the atmosphere of Sci Fi but the food was mostly ok when I went there

I will say that mobile ordering was amazing, nothing like seeing a bunch of people in line and then you just walk up and get your stuff
---

Mobile order is way more effective at Disneyland. Too many of the quick service restaurants here are low quality items.

Disneyland has a lot of high demand eating areas on mobile order.

Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios

I've only done MK and Epcot personally. I usually think Red bashes DW because he's a DL homer but in my experience I didn't eat any good at Disney World that was better than "adequate". Which is fine if you're rolling with the kids.

Nah just Studios. The park is basically getting a total revamp for a reason.

Animal Kingdom and Epcot are great and unique.

Magic Kingdom is not better than Disneyland but fine.

Disney World is better for a week Disneyland is better for a day. They serve different purposes.

Food is no contest Disneyland though and they've stepped up their game with even more limited time offerings.

Quick service here is too much hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and really horrible looking individual pizzas.

fair enough.

and I'll just echo one more time, the food at DW wasn't very good but I'm sure there are some good places if you can get into them. Mostly we just needed bland calories for the kids. I think we got too many snacks in our plan, but we got to load up on candies at the gift store on the way out - it's bad value but at least you don't completely lose what you didn't use.
---

As far as food goes, Satouli in AK, the China quick service place in Epcot, and Pecos Bill's in MK are all a bit above the rest of the typical theme park food IMO. I used to work at Disney World so I was there all the time and I only just went to Disneyland for the first time a month ago, and yeah DL food is better.
---

The restaurants at World Showcase in Epcot tend to be better than the rest of the parks. I remember Downtown Disney and the Boardwalk having good food but this was many years ago.
---

I'd say the best meal I had the whole time I was in Disney was Cinderella Castle. And even then, it was still not amazing.

The food is great. For a Disney park.

But ultimately when you're serving thousands a day you can only do so much quality wise. It's actually impressive what they manage to do given the guest count.

I had a all you can eat meat skewer dinner at the Polynesian Resort that was very good

Snacks - I mainly used them at Garden Festival and for a couple floats in MK (Dole Whip was alright, I dont think its that unique to your typical Ice Cream place)
---

I've always heard DW is way better than DL. Any (un)true is this?

Oh I'm not knocking the food overall. For a theme park we didn't have a bad meal. The buffet at Hollywood and Vine was real good

When I went to Disneyworld last year there were a few places where I quite enjoyed the food, in particular there was some jungle one and then uhhhhhh the other one I'm forgetting off the top of my head but it was nice

Rainforest Cafe?

Their food is typically pretty sub par you are paying for the atmosphere.

Definitely. Most of the quick service places here borrow food and kitchens from the nearby table service.

Also Via Napoli has some really good very splittable reasonably priced pizzas.

They make me feel bad for anyone buying the quick service individual pizzas you see everywhere.

The quick service pizza at Disneyland is actually decent and costs less.

I think hes talking about the Jungle Cruise themed one in Magic Kingdom; Rainforest Cafe is everywhere

If I ever go to Disney World, I decided to just stick with Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Magic Kingdom seems so much worse because of its gimped Fast Pass system, and I've heard nothing but crap about Hollywood Studios (I know they'll open Galaxy's Edge there, but they have that at Disneyland too).
---

Magic Kingdom has some good stuff.

Also came to the back of France for chocolate pastries. This is heaven.

This is my favorite spot in Disney World.

How packed is it
---

Had no problem clearing both parks completely with time to spare.

Not counting Soarin which i am choosing to not ride but could. Will never go to a park with early magic hours again though.

I am avoiding magic hours for my trip. And have a day to each park. Just hoping we have time to do everything cuz with the cost I'll likely never be back lol.

The evening hours they have at magic Kingdom should be fine because all the kids tire out and leave but I'll update that Wednesday (the park is open til 1am!).

Crowds are medium to high right now but likely picking up in the coming weeks.

Last time i was here was labor day week it was totally empty but also miserably hot and humid. I personally selected that week but i like this atmosphere and weather better, which kind of surprises me.

I'll be there first week of november

Oh yeah you are the one that is going to battle Jersey Week right?

Also I'd never rode Journey Into Imagination before. Figment is clearly someone's drug induced creation.

Also park is full cleared with 2 and a half hours to spare.

Apart from Seven Dwarfs, what does it have that Anaheim Disney lacks? Not hating or anything, just curious because they seem so similar but with Anaheim having huge bonuses like Indiana Jones and now Galaxy's Edge.

I'd still go just to see it once, but learning about the Fastpass system in Florida really culled my excitement. In a full day at the SoCal park, I could probably get close to ten Fastpasses and rarely wait longer than 20 minutes for anything. Based on my sister's experience in Magic Kingdom, that just isn't feasible there.
