if you're heavily into shopping for Disney merchandise, then this is the place for you, otherwise it really isn't a big deal. always imagined Disney land to be really magical, but apart from a couple of rides, it wasn't at all special. lots of long queues in the horrible heat and humidity to do anything, including say hello to the characters. they don't walk around the crowds, they just stand somewhere while people queue up to have photos with them. the fireworks were really so low that they could only be seen from one place in the whole park which felt like they encouraged over crowding. even the parades generate stampeding crowds. wouldn't go there again, definitely not worth the money
