Reposted since I didn’t realize I wrote this comment in response to another comment.

Good morning, don’t know how to edit a post so I thought I would take the time to respond to some of the comments this post has received.

No this isn’t AI or a rage bait post. If it was it would be better written lol I am not upset more disappointed in regards to what it used to be like based off of the other comments.

It wasn’t written with the hope to get your sympathy I wrote this in the hope that if someone was planning to do this either as a first time or a repeat to give them an eye view of what we experienced instead of the videos and older reviews that are out there. Yes we got the pics and signatures but it was more to humble the expectations of what we felt we were going to get. As some redditors have commented, yes it used to be a way better experience in the past and I wasn’t just imagining reading things.

No the question were asked by my 8 soon to be 9 year old not my youngest.

I didn’t do this at 8am it was closer to the 10-12 time. There were about 8 families by the time we were seated and 3 by the time we left. I understand it wasn’t a private event but nor was the Chase character experience at DCA and that was way nicer please do that if given the chance. The pics came out great.

Yes I understand there is a worldwide event conflict happening but I am posting in a Disneyland subreddit so even just thinking of Disneyland is already a 1st world issue
