Glad you had a great time overall , £3000 on food . We’ve stayed onsite/ offsite 4 times and never spent anywhere near that amount with no dining plan . I think I’m going to have to rethink spending money with 4 adults for 18 nights 😱😱😱😱😱

I loved reading your review but it makes me sad as it just confirms what we’ve all been dreading for those who have yet to go post Covid.

We’ve been lucky to have gone several times over the past 30years, also remembering the old paper fast passes - my god, we thought they were the bestest thing ever back then !

Curious, we are staying on site (for the absolute very last time..bye bye Disney) are the refillable cups still included for the duration of your stay ? I’d ask DH but he’s out at the mo - hence why I’m loitering on this forum !

Indeed, if you guys did space 2020 and only drank water you would be looking at $320 before tip. Crazy prices, the only meal that expensive used to be CRT and that included tip.

I was also there the same time and agree with all your comments.

I really thought Genie+ was great and worked very well for us. Did the same as you in that started stacking days later in the holiday.

One thing we noticed a lot (so much so we thought we were cursed) was the rides breaking constantly.

Mickey and Minnie 3 times
Haunted Mansion
Splash
Space
ROTR
Slinky

And there were more i have forgotten. I haven't been in ten years so i don't know if this is usual but i couldn't believe how often they broke.

I was disappointed with this too, we stayed in yacht club for 2 weeks and i had to call housekeeping several times to empty the bins and change the towels and bring more coffee pods. At the cost i was paying i feel that's the least i should have expected.

We spent about the same and we only did 4/5 sit down meals.

The food and drink costs in Disney is extortionate

Yes thought there were a lot more down time with rides also, not just rise which has always been patchy but the others too. We did rise one day and got the bit when you sit in the car and the thing broke, they gave us a LL for later but very frustrating

I thought the same when I read it. $60. Lunacy
