hhh found some photos of old disney trips from several years back and it just made me really sad that the parks are nothing like what they were back then anymore. i still feel like it was probably best in the 90s and early 2000s (from what i've seen in videos documenting that time frame, and from the few trips my fam went on as well), but i ended up visiting more often in the 2010s and i still really enjoyed it;;

i miss walking around and just drinking in the atmosphere and theming honestly. sucks that its a mess now and you're paying so dang much for lackluster quality and there's no room for spontaneous flexibility within your visit because of the stupid genie+ app and insane wait times for Everything. the fact that there's no real "off season" anymore because it's Always Busy is a terrible reality as well. *sigh*

#nothing compares to the atmosphere of the disney parks and thats what makes it so sad that it's changed a lot #i've also heard that cleanliness has degraded a lot as well #which isn't . good.#never been big on most universal IPs #so that park never interested me cuz i have no attachment to anything offered within it #but i have been a few times since i stopped going to disney and i did enjoy it; mostly just the islands of adventure #but even still i do miss wandering around epcot and animal kingdom the most :'c #universal doesn't really come close to that but hopefully the new epic universe will prove to be better than where disney's at now #anyway . i just got hit with a wave of nostalgia for a time that can't ever be replicated again i guess #i'm glad i could enjoy those trips while i could tho #spectre says #(not letting anyone reblog this because i dont want to accidentally start any Discourse lol)#OK WAIT CORRECTION.#universal's portofino hotel is absolutely GORGEOUS and i genuinely loved it so so much #and volcano bay was really fun and immersive too; mega props to them for that one #so universal does have some offerings that i really liked!!!#but as a whole i just like some of the theming of the disney parks better; mostly the stuff that doesn't rely on existing IP
