    we are locals and dont like the new area at Epcot. It took an awful lot of time to make an area that isnt interesting at all, Communicore has entertainment but we notice that a few people stick around for it, but most leave after a minute or two, including us. At the magic kingdom the last few times we have gone a Lot of the most popular rides are not open, and tianas bayou doesnt have the lines like splash mountain used to have……..I honestly dont like the new country bears show either. A lot of animatronics on rides dont work, or like at Its a small world some of them have been missing for months………The parade has been around for how long? and how often does the malificent dragon not work??? I understand that a lot of people come from up north but mostly all they sell is sweatshirts and other long sleeve items. Ink pens are an outrageous price now. We still buy occasionally mostly for our grandkids, but not often……….The stage show is also old, with all the money they make it seems like they could change it more often…………

    The main problem with EPCOT is the lack of shaded seating. I want to sample all the food and savor my drinks with a little respect. Like at a table. Under some shade from the most intense laser beam sun rays this side of the Mississippi. Come on Disney. The whole lake could have a deck built around it with large awnings. Make the customers comfortable….but they won’t. I’m dreaming.

    Couldn’t agree more with the negative comments
    Come on Disney you give discredit to the name
    Walt’s rolling in his grave no doubt. How about a new name; Greed+

    You need to go to Hollywood Studios and go thru the line for Toy Story Mania. We were there in October and it was filthy. The walls were sealed and disgustingly dirty. We took pics of it and I asked my wife is it WDW or Six Flags?

    Such a simple fix! Close, refurbished by repainting and cleaning the put plexiglass panels over it from floor to about 5 feet and if those get scratched and marked up all you do is replace a clear panel. This Disney Management doesn’t care about image just the Benjamins. People also need to control their kids by interacting with them and put the phone down once in a while. Both are at fault!

    We went last Wednesday and had a blast. Love the new area in the front. So much room to sit, sip something to drink and chill out. It looks beautiful with all the new plants, and the unexpected surprises as far as pop up entertainment was fantastic. We thought the offerings at the kiosks were delicious, and especially appreciated the inexpensiveness and large helping of food at the American kiosk.
    We had a virtual pass for Guardians of the Galaxy, and once in line, it took about 30 minutes to be on the ride. We road Soarin’ with a 25 minute wait, Living with the Land took 20 minutes. We took advantage of the new single rider line for Ratatouille and walked right on, and went to see Sing Along with Belle. We spent about 12 hours there and had a blast!!!

    I dislike any knocks on my Walt Disney Worlds, but an area of concern is “Construction”. I can’t comment on the quality and integrity, but during the actual building, first, it takes too long, and secondarily the construction crews leave their messes in plain view in the iconic parks and hotels.

    Bob Iger is trash. Josh D’marrow is Trash. The entire management is trash. Someone that isn’t trash should buy Disney and return it to it’s former NON-woke glory. The way they keep failing and flopping movies, and driving their stock in to the ground, it’s only a matter of time before someone buys them.

      I truly cringe at non black people using the word “woke” incorrectly. Ugh

    These items at Epcot are petty. They just need to be fixed. Nothing in this Great Earth is perfect or not subject to aging and in need of repair. Streets walkways in cities across the world need repair! Disney with all it’s resources, just needs to take each item and work on it in a timely manner. It you don’t like it, do not go, better for the people who enjoy the magic and desire less crowding. Cheers

    I live in Orlando and visit two WDW parks every Sunday. One of the most prominent examples of shoddy maintenance, to me at least, is the condition of the monorail track and nylons. They don’t seem to have been cleaned in DECADES!! I wish they would give them all a good, healthy Steam Cleaning!!!
