Disney World can bring out the worst and the best in a
person and that’s where we are right now, staying in a value resort. Value
resorts have lots of benefits. They are on Disney property so you get
transportation and a certain level of that token Disney “magic.” They are very
inexpensive and loaded with garish statues and play structures, perfect for the
under-8 crowd. My kids love it. They think they’ve died and gone to commercialism
heaven. I agree most of the time.
We experienced some Disney non-magic yesterday when we
waited in the bus lines for over 30 minutes and loaded all of our crap onto a
bus full of other value resort guests for a standing-room only ride across
Disney property. My kids were tired. I was tired. We wanted to sit desperately.
It was not meant to be. The 3 mile trip to our resort took over an
hour and we fell into our beds, wasted from our day of heat and
over-stimulation.
Despite the heat and the “you get what you pay for” value
resort transportation experience, we had a great day. Our trip to the petting zoo at Animal Kingdom earned Disney
an eternal gold star for their unmatched customer service. How can you complain
about a place where a staff member literally sweeps up the goat poop as it is
coming out of the goat to ensure that neither you or your child steps in it?
Oh - goat poop sweeper must be a grand Disney job :) I didn't realize the Disney bus went to only 1 hotel, so I rode it around and around for about an hour being harassed by drunk Pleasure Island kids. Enjoy the rest of the trip...and watch out for the rowdy PI crowd.
