We're headed to Disney next week. It will be the second time for our 7YO daughter and first for our 4YO son. Our 7YO came, but she was only 2 at the time. It was more of an extended family trip my wife didn't want to miss, so she'll be much more into it this time. We're excited and I am trying to get everything planned. I am not working right now, so I have the time, but I don't know how you do this with a real job. It's exhausting combing through everything. A couple of things I've noticed that frustrate me:
- This Genie+/Lightning Lane system is absurd. I'd rather not be super stressed at 6:45am to buy my pass and to keep refreshing the page. Also, would rather not be on my phone all day in the park trying to get it all booked. Really fucking bad system and I can't believe they haven't changed it.
- The Disney website is garbage. It's slow and hard to use. Finding and booking restaurants is a pain the ass. I know there's a lot going on, but just hire OpenTable to run it. It would be so much easier. I guess they don't feel the need to spend money on tech if everyone is coming anyway.
Looking forward to the trip. We're going right before Spring Break, so it will hopefully be a little less nuts out there. I know it will always be busy to an extent. We'll see.
