I am back home and please let me tell a little bit about the last day and our trip.
The last day was a horror and I not mean Halloween. There was a special event for a local company i guess and so beside the "normal" guests in a very full park hundreds of "special guets" were in the park also.
Dreams was a nightmare and I really do not understand Disney why they are doing this. It was way to crowded and I really do not want to think about the safety.
Most of the shops were closed and only available for these "special guests". If you do not have an company ID card...no chance to go to the shops or on a ride at the evening. Disney did not mentioned it on any internet site or even in the app so we were dissapointed about this situation.
After all I have to say that I have mixed feelings about our 5 day trip.
Salon Mickey was great. Most of the CM were brilliant and after all it is Disney.
But the quality has suffered significantly. I was dissapointed about the GFC breakfast and tea time. Last year the variety of food were so much more. For example we got different types of yoghurts and now you have a yoghurt machine with natural yoghurt and some fruits and toppings. I know that Disney tries to reduce plastic but this was only one example.
As I mentioned our experience at Walts was sympomatic. We were at Annettes Diner also and the waiting times were insame. Not to get inside but to get the ordered food.
Cape Cod, Bistrot Ché Remy and Billy Bobs were ok but nothing special.
The Halloween season inside the parks were dissapointing. I have missed a show at
Disneyland Park and there were so less characters.
The Studios have become more crowded due to the Avenger Campus. The new Spider Web Ride is great and a big plus. There were so much characters at the Campus and every minute something happened somewhere.
The new show "Together" is great and fun for everyone.
After all I really thing that for the first time in a very long time I would say that I like the Studios more.
Is it still Disney? Yes and no I have to say. They could do so much more. Better food, more characters ....
There are no offers at the moment for a stay (for example the great 20% and HB free which they offer over the last years) or even for merch but why should they do so? The parks were very very crowded and the people seems to pay anything for a vacation and merch. I have spoken to a CM and she said that the offers will not appear for a very long time. On the other hand they reduce the quality of food.
We still had a great time and we will go back next year because we all can not think about not to be there.
