I know I’ve harped on this before but the way they do Disney is a waste of money. The rides are the biggest draw in my opinion so I went back and counted the amount of rides they rode because it felt like they barely did any.
In the 9 days they entered a Disney park, they only did a total of 31 rides.
That number is astoundingly low to me, as my partner and I were there for 4 days at the same time they were there and rode 59 rides plus watched the shows & parades (I am a complete nerd so I keep track so I can see how effectively we used our time when we get home
). As another couple with no kids, it’s really hard for me to not to compare our trips to theirs.
I should stress we only achieved the number of rides we did because we bought genie+ for the 2 days we were in Magic kingdom and Hollywood studios, plus we go enough that we know how to optimize it so we can stack lightning lanes for busy times. However, based on todays vlog, they had Genie+ for at least a few days and had park hopper tickets that they never utilized. And even with all that, they still managed to average less than 4 rides a day because they were too busy shoving food down their gobs and “mooching” in shops. They basically spent money to go into the parks to spend more money.
I attached the daily ride breakdown for anyone else curious:
