This park is tiny and outdated; it is like a knockoff Disneyland or rather, just another amusement park. It boils down to two things mostly; the park is disorganized and poorly maintained.

Even though the square footage is small, you have to take twists and turns to get to the entrance of an attraction that is seemingly right next to where you are (this is a poorly designed park). When they close certain areas for the parades, it gets even more clustery. This is especially true at night where they just start closing different pathways and herding people in without notice. It could take more than 30 minutes to walk to a place that is normally reachable in 10 minutes, especially with the crowds of people standing still in the dark, waiting for the fireworks 🎆

Most of the workers we met were totally unprofessional (albeit nice sometimes), didn't know the direction to the exit, another one got the closing times of one ride confused, etc. This was a striking contrast to other Disney parks where the Disney workers stay in character and seem like they were child actors. One thing that stood out in particular was that they don't check that you are strapped in by pressing down the bar or go through safety checks. The workers just sort of eyeball it.

Maybe that's why the rides are constantly down. Whenever I looked at the Disney app for wait times, there are usually at least 2 rides that are being fixed and "reopening soon." Crush's roller coaster was down for almost half the day.

The shows are very subpar. The Lion King musical and the fireworks are the two that are almost as good as the other parks', so I would recommend seeing those.

In terms of decorations, the castle is small. The decorations on the streets is nonexistent. There are no character appearances throughout the park. The trash cans are not cleverly disguised like the other park. In many places, there is a strong smell of feces instead of the usual smell of cotton candy and churros Disneyland wafts through the vents to induce you into buying food.

For dining options, I think the Agrabah buffet has a great variety of Mediterranean choices that is a little different than your average Disney restaurant. The interior is well-designed and the alcoves are vast. Bistro Chez Remy is a very popular dine-in option; it's most likely you will need to make reservations a month ahead at least. The Tony Stark factory is good if you want order-at-the-counter.

If you don't have time to buy souvenirs, the World of Disney and the other gift shops I'm Disney Village are open until around midnight or when all the park visitors have left, according to a store employee. There isn't a great selection of Mickey ears or pins. Not that there is much of a Disney culture for swapping pins here.
