Some travelers say changes meant to improve visits to Disney World have left vacations harder to plan than ever before.
But some travelers aren't thrilled about what it takes to pull off a trip to Walt Disney World these days.
These changes, however, are part of Disney's continual quest for improvement, a company representative told CNBC. "The problem is the system is so incredibly complicated that it requires its own doctorate to really understand," he told CNBC. Walt Disney World comprises four theme parks, two water parks and dozens of themed hotels, plus a shopping and entertainment area called Disney Springs. The entire complex is set on more than 40 square miles of land — roughly twice the size of Manhattan, Alder said.
Alder recommends booking hotel accommodations first, namely Disney's Boardwalk or Beach Club Resort, due to their proximities to the parks. They aren't the most luxurious resorts, he said, but that doesn't matter because logistics are more important. "At Disney World, your feet are your best transportation," he said.
"I highly recommend sit down lunches. I think the quick-serve thing is a terrible idea," he said. "That air-conditioned, sit-down break is what keeps your stamina up."Magic Kingdom: The Diamond Horseshoe, Liberty Tree Tavern or Tony's Town SquareHollywood Studios: The Hollywood Brown Derby, 50's Prime Time Cafe, Sci-Fi Dine-InNext, book park reservations based on where lunch reservations are secured, Alder said.
It also doesn't secure spots on the newest rides, such as Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the highly anticipatedVisitors can't walk up and get in line for either ride, said Alder; rather they must enter a "Virtual Queue" or purchase an "Virtual Queues open at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m., and bookings go fast, Alder said. "You have, I'd say, a good 15 to 20 seconds, if you're lucky, before the ride is gone," Alder said.
Though Disney does not disclose park attendance numbers, Polzin said: "The parks feel busier now than they've ever been." "Restaurant slots open up one month in advance for certain restaurants, and by the time we realised it was too late," she said. Despite this "we were able to eat in other locations that allowed us to walk in."
