Top 10 Reasons Why Disneyland is Not the Happiest Place on Earth

My sister and I were NOT happy at Disneyland because my mom forced us to go on boring and stupid baby rides instead of letting us go on the rides that we wanted.

My cousins were not happy either. They thought the park was boring (and I agree!)

On our honeymoon, the first person we approached was to get a bottle of water. The person handed us cheddar popcorn, and when we replied that we hadn't requested popcorn, we received the most disgusted look, as if we personally destroyed this person's worldview and were scum. Like... (Little Rascals) Oootttay. Can we have a water? Thanks.

I bought a Perry the Platypus pet-mode plush there for $14. It was like $8 at the Disney store at the mall.

Generally, items are just priced very high there.

It's always the kids messing with the food, and the sweat on hot days.

We are stuck together in tight lines all day. People sweat, and workers sweat.

At Disneyland and Disney World, so many people want to go, and that's the result.

Also, it's always that way any time of year.

Nobody goes to Disneyland anymore. It's too crowded.

I went to Disneyland with my dad, and we went on Space Mountain, but the line was long. The trip was okay, but the lines were still long. I had heard about FastPasses and used one for the shuttle bus, but I didn't realize you needed multiple FastPasses per ride. The downside was that security let in 40-50 FastPass holders, but only 8 regular guests.

Disney World is the same way - each ride has long lines, and only a few people with regular passes can go on. It's unfair!

Yeah, any line that is longer than an hour without a place to sit down or go to the bathroom makes for a long wait.

I went to Disneyland and Disney World, and it is ALWAYS hot and humid there. I was sweating and having hot flashes.

It is the normal weather, but fans and having cold water available in the lines would be a humane thing to do.

It's not ALWAYS hot there. Last time I went, it was actually pretty cold.

Customers do the best they can, but when you're stuck in line for over an hour, people are bound to touch or bump into you. It's just part of being crammed together. It's like on a plane, where the person next to you might try not to touch you but still might.

Disney could improve this by adding more space between people in the lines. They did it during COVID, so we know it's possible.

I am generally a fast walker, but there are so many scooters at Disneyland that it is impossible to get around during the busy part of the day.

I was trying to get onto some rides, and people ALWAYS walk too slow, yet they always disrespect others.

I saw a girl crying at Disneyland. I saw her dad spanking her, and then she started to cry.

I am not thin, but it's difficult to be seated next to a larger person on a ride. They could design some seats to accommodate larger people, just like they make seats for those with special needs.

Fat people, fat people everywhere!

Most of the deaths are from preexisting medical conditions, though some were due to suicides or shootings, like a cast member who was a victim of the Las Vegas Strip shooting.

People have also died from being reckless and not following the safety rules, like climbing out of ride vehicles while they were still in motion.

Most of them, save a rare (average once a year) occurrence, were caused by idiots trying to be cool.

Disney claims that it's affordable. NO, IT IS NOT.

I spent $100 on admission alone, plus tax. Everything sold at the parks is overpriced. It costs $5 for Starbucks and $14 for a small plush toy. I paid $8 for one corn dog and a small bag of chips - no drink included! And since I'm from Philadelphia, I also had to buy airline tickets.

Luckily, I have family in Southern California, so I stayed with them instead of at a hotel, which saved us hundreds of dollars.

When Disney went woke, that's when they lost me.

Try riding the public bus with Disney guests...some are extremely rude and act entitled! That's not okay.

So much rotten food, sweat, and dead ashes.

Disney, are they really that desperate for more money?

Sadly, this is true. Why would they change it?

Thank you, Disney, for another Pixar-themed area that we didn't need, replacing another beloved area.

I heard Disney used to offer a disability FastPass for families with children with special needs who had trouble waiting. Between 2011 and 2013, they could go on any ride. However, they stopped doing it after other guests complained that families with disabled children were cutting the line, while others had to wait too long.

That's a lie. I am autistic, and when I went to Disneyland and Disney World, they treated me like a normal human being. I wasn't being discriminated against at all.

They're just people in costumes (sorry for spoiling your magic, but it's the truth).

Seriously. Just look up "Mickey and Minnie Mouse costumes from the 30s."

A ticket to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party costs $75, and a Very Merry Christmas Party costs $100. Some people can't afford tickets to either of these parties.

I live in Philly, so I would rather go to NYC for the holidays. At least the Rockefeller Center tree is free to visit!

(I have never been to NYC during Christmas, but I would love to do that one day!)

We all know Disney World is not the happiest place on Earth, but it does have a better-designed castle. Cinderella's Castle really stands out. Disneyland, on the other hand, has Sleeping Beauty's Castle, which is short and puny compared to Cinderella's in Orlando.

Walt Disney envisioned Sleeping Beauty's Castle in his park. It is small because, at the time, he and his team didn't have enough money or the budget to build a bigger one.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle looks ugly compared to Cinderella's Castle at Disney World.
