I wanted to give feedback on my recent experience to Magic Kingdom.
On Friday, September 8th my sister, niece and I visited Magic Kingdom for all our first time. It was my niece’s 6th birthday, so I wanted to make the day special, she had no idea and it was a total surprise until we pulled up to the entrance.
I wanted to start by saying that I knew tickets would be expensive, but I thought the entire experience would be worth it- however it was not. Two adult tickets and one children’s ticket came to just under $470.00. I was deeply disappointed that there was no option for a First Responder discount as I am a Registered Nurse in the state of Florida and Disney is worth over 150 Billion dollars.
Once we were entering the park NO ONES bags were being check whatsoever. For this day in age that is very concerning, from that point forward I felt I needed to be on high alert for the safety of our small group being just two women and one child alone at a huge park with 50,000 strangers that could have easily walked through with any number of weapons.
Once we entered there were ZERO characters to greet us, which seemed extremely strange. We asked a photographer to take a few pictures in front of the castle and went on to find all the princesses. To our utter disappointment, we did not see one character for the entire trip except a couple during the two very fast paste parades, but it was so fast there was not time for any picture moments with any of the characters. Every time we would ask an employee where all the characters are they either said they did not know at this time or they would send us to the compete other side of the park where there were none.
We asked a few photographers for pictures here and there but after the 3rd one basically said no or they couldn’t because they were busy with “Magical Moments” we figured one of us would capture what we could using our phones leaving either my sister or I out of the picture.
We took my niece to the Bippidy Boppidy Boutique which was very cute- DEFINETLY not worth the $200 but we figured this would be the only way for us to see actual princesses in characters, after she was made a princess that was it, yet again there were no characters found. $200 for a dress and a sock bun…. all the pictures the photographer took were dark and so zoomed in they are unusable.
The wait times seemed to be fairly quick but as soon as we walked up to Space Mountain, they roped it off. All the employees that were guarding the entrance had their arms crossed and were leaning on the gate, they would not give an ETA of when it would reopen or why it was shut down, they seemed annoyed when we asked and said it will open shorty basically so we spent the better part of two hours waiting closely by but it never reopened.
When purchasing the tickets, we were not told that the park shut down at 6pm for a Halloween festival but yet tickets were full price despite not being able to get the full experience with a full day. We were ushered to the front because we did not have on pink wristbands and made to leave, so undenounced to us, we spent our last two hours of our already shortened day waiting for a ride where no employee told us they were not reopening, and we would be told to leave at 6pm.
All together this ruined our experience, what was supposed to be a magical day turned into a day full of endlessly walking all over the park to find even just a single character so my niece could get a picture opp. On the Disney photopass app there is a picture of Donald and Daisey, but they were NOT there which broke my nieces heart because she was convinced we missed them. $70 for 3 three usable pictures from the app is a total scam.
All in all I would not recommend anyone plan a trip to Magic Kingdom, to spend the kind of money that was spent and to be left with an EXTREMELY sad 6 year old when we were told to leave before she could see a princess was awful. What was supposed to be a magical moment in my niece’s life turned into a core memory of disappointment that we will never get back.
Hi! I definitely recommend you check out our videos on YouTube. We even have videos on how to meet many characters in one day, where they’re located and how to do it. We also talk about how Magic Kingdom closes at 6pm on holiday party nights. A lot of people avoid Magic Kingdom on that day so it makes the wait times bearable up until around 4pm when party guests are let in early. There are also metal detectors at all of the entrances so nobody would be able to smuggle in any weapons.
Disneys new policies are ridiculous
and nothing but stress. They force you
into schedules to eat when you don’t want to and going on
attraction times when you don’t want to. Your continually running around. Two days in a row we
waited in a attraction line over a hour and had to leave at the final stretch,because we had a dinner reservation.
Then you get to your dinner
reservation only to wait there,
because your table isn’t ready. This new lighting line is joke.
Instead of merging the stand by
attraction lines and lighting lines
together towards the last stretch of the entrance to the ride, They
continually shut off the stand by lines and swam after swam of lighting line people go by. The stand by line barely moves. If they merged the lines toward
the end at least both lines would keep moving. The stress and frustration on everyone’s face was apparent. We watched family after family getting out
of line at attractions, because they had a dinner reservation. The frustration on there faces was overwhelming.
Date of experience: November 2022
We just returned from a week in DW. With COVID as a going away present. Horrible crowds
Hours in line. You have to pay extra for “ lighting lane” had to hire “ guides” to help us with lines. Food portions are smaller and slow !! 20 th time for us from Texas. ( since 1985). Very expensive now. Not worth it anymore. And Animal K lodge broke my suitcase,, Our last trip.
I will never go to Disney. Especially after what they did to Johnny Depp. Leaving him out of Pirates of the Caribbean is the worst mistake of your life.
We did it. Got on an early flight. Picked up a rental car. Did a few Disney Parks and flew back the same day. All the cards seemed to fall in the right place that day. So much fun, mouse bar and all!!!
This is not a review of the parks but the media side of the company hopefully whoever reads these can contact the entertainment side. Please renew more owlhouse its the best new IP the company has put out and you are canceling it. Huge mistake.
Please RENEW OWLHOUSE!
We just came back from Disney World and it may have been our last time. We’ve been going for over 20 years with children and grand children but this year tickets are so ridiculously high they want AN EXTRA 25 bucks minimum to park and nothing is updated lines were long and mid week Jan is supposed to be the best time to go overall we were just so disappointed. Don’t waste your time and money at Disney anymore. Universal Islands of Adventure and Sea World are a better value now!
We spent new years days in disney. We brought our almost 5 year old. I was disappointed he never saw mickey or minnie mouse :(. Which was heartbreaking. And we saw a couple Characters standing on top of a building My son had more fun at our hotel and kept asking to go back. Honestly wasnt a great experience 🙁
Just visited this past weekend and, Amazingly 6 weeks into the most magical celebration for the 50th anniversary, I ate at 3 different table service restaurants that had the sip-a-bration drink on the menu but servers told me they were all out. Just be prepared to be disappointed.
It’s clear Disney is charging price is designed to keep out the riffraff. Unfortunately, their political and social position includes the entire midsection of the United States of America as riffraff
Very dissatisfied with disney world park lines too long and they closed rides that we were in line for horrible vacation spot
Be Our Guest was the beat restaurant experience and great food. The Seven Dwarf Mine Train the beat ride. Hope to come to Disney when masks are no longer needed!!!! Thanks
i had gone on the keys to the kingdom tour back in early november 2019 and the CM RAE was making sure that i was keeping up with the tour group since i was using a scooter while i was there. along with learning all kinds of cool things about the behind the scenes that go along withe magic kingdom. when it came to seeing part of the ulitadors on the first floor in magic kingdom, rae made sure that i got to use the elevators in certain parts of the tour that i needed to use instead of the stairs that the rest of the tour group had to use. she was such a nice person…
