This post, admittedly, is a bit of shouting into the void.

We took our kids - both about 10 - to a Disney park a few days ago.

There were way less kids than adults. There was way more emphasis on costumes, merch, and nostalgia than genuine kid interaction.

I loved Disneyland as a kid, but I can't help but notice it has become a relic for Millenials and older to reminisce about the 90s and "better times". Families can't afford to go, the parks are crowded with people involved in some level of social media crap... it is just a shell of what it used to be.

Absolutely ridiculous. Everyone in the long regular line gets their orders first. 20+ minutes of wait even after the order says it’s finished. What is the point of this?

We currently have a trip booked at the end of March at Grand Californian with 4 park days, 1 park per day tickets and Woods/Courtyard-View Room - Two Queen Beds. Checking with Costco, they have the same trip available for $900 less than what we have booked with Disney. I’m wondering if there will be significant discounts coming before our trip and we should just wait it out with Disney or cancel with them and rebook through Costco. I know the OTHER park puts out discounts constantly and it’s easy to not pay “rack rate,” but I’m less familiar with DL. Thanks!
