Disney Fanatics CONFESS What They Hate About Disney World

While we love Disney World, there are plenty of things about the parks that aren’t our favorite.

Cinderella Castle

We’ve had plenty of snacks that aren’t our favorite, and any price hike makes us wince immediately. But what about our readers? What do YOU all despise most about Disney World? We asked, and you answered!

We took to Facebook to ask our readers what they hate most about Disney World, and over 3,500 of you replied! So let’s take a look at the most popular responses.

THE COST

The biggest complaint of our readers will be no surprise to you — it’s the cost of the vacation!

Disney Springs

One of our readers even shared that she’s been traveling to Disney for 30 years and has really seen a difference in pricing throughout the years, and we understand. Disney World vacations are expensive, even if you’re staying off-property. Park tickets themselves have jumped in price a lot, so even going for a 1-2 day trip costs a pretty penny.

Fort Wilderness Resort

The Disney parks used to be a vacation the average family could afford, but that’s questionable at this point.

Complex Planning

Disney World has gone digital in the past decade, and while that’s easier in some ways, it’s also made learning how to do things a lot more complicated.

EPCOT

You’ve got to plan lots in advance now (but remember that park passes will be going away for the most part in 2024!), plus think about if you want to pay to skip the lines with Genie+, think in advance when you want to order your food so you don’t miss a decent time window and now your whole family is starving. Do you want to dine at table service restaurants? Some of them require reservations to be made 60 days in advance before your vacation even begins!

Reservations for Cinderella’s Royal Table go very quickly!

Yes, Disney World has required at least some semblance of planning in the past few decades, but it was also possible to wake up and decide on a whim what to do. That’s become a lot harder recently, and many of our readers are hoping the spontaneity can return soon.

Crowds!

Despite doing many things to upset Disney fans, the parks are very, VERY crowded.

Animal Kingdom Crowds

This especially became an issue when the parks reopened after the COVID-19 closures and returned mostly to normal, as we saw a massive amount of revenge traveling from guests whose vacations had to be canceled previously.

Hollywood Studios Crowds

While the revenge-travel trend has died down a lot, the parks are still very crowded, and some guests feel it gets more and more crowded with each passing year. Some feel that Disney should open a fifth park to help spread out the crowds, while others feel the existing parks should just be expanded upon. Regardless of the solution, many fans feel Disney needs to find one ASAP.

Weather

Disney World can’t help where it’s located, but being located in Florida is a downside for many guests because of the weather.

EPCOT under sunny skies

While Florida can certainly get chilly in the winter, Florida is mostly known for its HOT and HUMID weather during most of the years. Summers are absolutely brutal to all guests, but especially those who aren’t used to the humidity combined with already high temperatures.

A sunny day in Animal Kingdom

Some people just don’t do well with high temperatures, or if you don’t keep yourself hydrated, you very well may find yourself VERY miserable on your trip.

Leaving/Not Being Able To Go More Often

On a more positive note, we had a lot of readers say they hate having to LEAVE Disney World!

Exiting EPCOT

We can definitely relate to that — the post-trip sadness is real! Other readers shared that they really wish they were locals so they could visit more often, so they hate they’re not close enough to take casual trips.

Exiting Toy Story Land

All of these are very valid reasons to find Disney World frustrating, and there are SO many more out there. To all of our readers who shared their thoughts — thank you so much! If you want to throw your hat in the ring during our next poll, be sure to follow us on our social media and keep up with us. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!
