The food we had was great. Portions were much larger than I expected
and we ate very well at Liberty Tree Tavern, Boma, Columbia Harbor
House, Mama Melrose's, and even our food court.
Thanksgiving dinner
was in Cinderella's Castle with a very hefty price tag. But we did
enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner there. The glass slipper
desserts were $25 each and each granddaughter got one. They were
magical and really special.
I have two or suggestions if you will. Two days I tried to get an
ECV. I have bursitis in both hips and some days I just can't do all
that walking. Within two hours of park opening in MK and AK they
were sold out. I was 19th on one waiting list and was messaged that
an ECV was available as we were riding back to our resort. It would
be really helpful if there was more than one place to get
wheelchairs, ECVs, and strollers in the parks.
My other suggestion is to get rid of Genie and Genie Plus. After
what we pay for tickets and for our resort rooms, it's criminal that
we are charged $15 a day per person to go on some rides. I say some
because if you want to go on the E-ticket rides you pay an additional
$9, $12, or $15. We wouldn't have been able to ride all the rides we
did if my daughter hadn't purchased this for us every day. I think
that there has to be a better way!
What was wrong with fast passes?
Staying on site in a Disney resort should afford guests some perks
like not charging for rides. That is what we buy tickets for! Sorry
about the rant but I would say that while not an epic fail
altogether, Disney can do better.
Sorry about the rants. We did have a very good time all things
considered. It was our first visit in two years and we were able to
ride new rides that weren't open when we were there in 2019.

Portion size has never been an issues at WDW, but I get disappointed
when I look at what makes up that portion. Like most restaurants, it's
a huge pile of cheap, empty carbs with a tiny amount of protein. But it
is usually tasty.
I can't imagine what that bill was like! :-)
I have always heard that this is a problem. And people complain about
the size and slow speeds of the WDW ECV's. I think the consensus is to
rent form an off-site company that will deliver.
Yeah, I have not experienced this yet. It remain to be seen if I will.
First of all, I'm not going to WDW until masks are no longer required,
and then if I have to pay extra to ride the popular attractions, then no!
What was wrong with fast passes?They were free.
Unless people stop paying to visit the parks and stay at the resorts,
DIS will see this as hugely successful and probably even tweak it to
cost MORE!
January will be four years since I've been. I had planned to take Katie
this fall to celebrate a big milestone for her, but with masks and park reservations and all that crap, we've decided to wait.

I'm curious what things were like at Boma. I think it's the only place
at WDW that is actually operating as a buffet. It's our favorite
restaurant - not just at WDW, but anywhere.
We are scheduled to go in late January, first time in two years, but
part of me is dreading the trip. Despite there being very little Covid
in Florida, I get the sense that Disney is just itching to add more restrictions. (They still have not reopened 'Enchanted Tales", because they're worried about the kids. Don't get me started.)
And if the airlines do as well, I may find myself driving from
California. I figure I can make it in three days each way.
