Very similar timeframe for our many park visits and I have to say our worst visit was July 2024. Too much time spent on lines and no opportunities to maximize your time in the parks. Low chances of being able to ride something twice. Compare that to just 2019 when we were able to do so much more.

2019 was when I went with my kids for the first time. It really was magical and a great time. Contrast to 2023 when my niece was with us for the first time and it was just frustrating. I felt bad for her and my sister because it felt like such a hustle.

We called it the wasted time trip. Just felt like a waste of our money and time.

Definitely. My aunt went with us who is a retired cast member which saved us a ton of money. Even with that, looking at that Lightning Lane bill in the app of hundreds of dollars for a ride just felt gross. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. We basically skipped a lot of the big attractions.

I had never been so thankful that my kids don’t like Star Wars so we didn’t have to endure the wait for Rise.
