First time here and I’m an adult so take this review however you’d like. It’s long!

The first thing I notice is this place is cool and instantly has old time nostalgia feel. That’s about all the good feeling you get when you realize what it really is, which is a huge money grab. I get it, businesses need to make money. This business averages 12 million a day though and parts of it felt dated. I guess I expected more for how much it costs. The app is so ridiculously convoluted it’s not even funny. You’re lucky if it even works properly. You can get the genie pass but it’s just a money grab because you still have to wait until your time slot is ready, you also can’t pick another ride until that rides time slot is used. So technically you still wait to ride but just not in the line, sometimes the wait time for your time slot is longer than actually standing and waiting. We kept getting an issue with time slots, it would say something like 4pm and we click confirm and it would move it to 4 hours later at like 8pm. It made absolutely zero sense. I feel like with all the money Disney has, you should have a simple ticket app that is quick and easy. Instead they try to jam everything into one app and it just gets weird. Lightning pass was confusing too, it comes with genie+ but it also doesn’t. If you want it for Star Wars rise of the resistance you have to pay an additional $26 per person. Again another money grab. Food I feel was overhyped and overpriced, I know there are plenty of Disney loyalist but the $24 monte cristo that was 90% dough and 10% meat/cheese wasn't good. I wish I were exaggerating. We also felt rushed to eat, not much service at the cafe just an eat and get out. I did get a wrap at the Star Wars area and it was much better, cool coke bottle too. The Rides were underwhelming, most were over an hour wait and I just didn’t understand what all the fuss was on some. Smugglers Run was odd that we had to push buttons and just made the ride unenjoyable and seemed to just use the old mall rides technology. Cockpit moves with the screen, it was alright. Rise of the resistance is definitely the winner at the park, with all rides here it was more of an adventure ride than thrill ride. The rest of the rides just seemed to have cult followings and were fun but not really exciting, rides like pirates, haunted mansion, Indiana jones, space mountain, Matterhorn. Yawn, some of these rides are decades old and you feel it, the nostalgia I get but I wouldn’t mind some rides that make your stomach drop a little. I know I know it’s for kids but adults enjoy Disney too and we have the money. I thinks it’s time to update that entire park. And it wouldn’t hurt to have a couple days a year for adults only… which leads to my next topic. STROLLERS AND ELECTRIC WHEEL CHAIRS. Not sure how many times someone clipped my heels with their strollers or I had to jump out of the way (even when I am as far right as I could possibly go) to avoid them. I can’t imagine it is that enjoyable to push around a 3 year old who will never remember this day. Then for the wheel chairs of people who weren’t actually disabled and would just get up at each ride and walk like nothing was infuriating. Just a bad look. Place is already crowded enough, wish they had more size regulations of how large of strollers you can bring. I know this will get me some heat, yes it’s a kid place, and strollers make it easier for the parents. I get that but at least be polite and not so entitled like everyone has to move for you. Or Disney should have a cut off of where you can bring strollers, no need to walk 3 strollers wide with your crew and block the entire walkways. I went on a Monday after Halloween was over, thought it would be slow since it said it was one of their slower days of the year, kids were in school and it was well before the big holidays. It was jam packed. I guess I’m just old and grouchy now. $300+ later for one person and one day is a bit much for a dated park.
