It's the same drop as Maelstrom I would think. If it is, it isn't very bad. Haven't been on it yet and haven't been on Maelstrom in many years.
Winnie the pooh- it's like a bad acid trip, I get it's for little ones but my girls even disliked it.
I agree about the ratatouille. My favorite dish, and I was super happy to see it offered there. so rare. However, that was the lone highlight of our BOG experience.Tastes vary and experiences vary. I was very happy with my dinner there; ratatouille isn't a common dish as the restaurants I frequent. DH enjoyed his meal as well, though didn't find the experience as magical as he'd hoped. But as I've said elsewhere, I think the room you're in makes a big difference.
For me its Peter Pan Flight. I just don't get the long lines at all.
Parades!!
...except Boo To You! I get that one!
That's the only parade we've seen! We normally skip those and ride the rides while everyone else is busy.
Buffets. I can't eat 50 dollars worth of food and don't get 50 dollars worth of Mickey hugs either.
Not to mention, the "interactive queue" is teeming with germs from millions of sticky-fingered three year-olds. They don't even offer Purell at the end of it.
Characters. Spending precious time to meet college students in costumes. To each his own, but I don't get it.
this comes with a caveat due to price. It is every Disney resort and throw dining into that too. Someone asked to price out a 2BR for them on Disney property because they heard great things. Copper Creek was $1,244/nt without tax, almost $1,400/nt with tax. Other DVC were a bit cheaper, but not drastically. Now, these people have money which is magnitudes more than us. They were not being snide when they asked, but they asked how we could go so often at those rates. I told them the same thing I tell everyone. We stay offsite in better than Disney accommodations for less than the price of a single night staying on Disney property. Yes, all the naysayers that are All Disney will say it is not the same, but I beg to differ while saving $1,000s. Of course they throw out that an AS Studio is about the same price but that argument is hollow compared to a 2BR/2BA, full kitchen, dining room, living room, balcony. But hey, they won't have any of it. I did warn them the drawbacks of staying offsite. At first, they couldn't believe it but when I showed them what they get, the prices, they went for it.
