Honestly, I am not someone who needs perfection. I am not at all a type A personality. None of the things that, yes I am a bit disapointed about, will ruin our trip.I actually see it differently. I would never buy hoppers unless I would use them throughout the trip. I would skip a park if there just was not enough to keep my family occupies enough to justify using a day's pass.
You know, I understand. I really do. I just do not see that your ide is logistically possible. First, the "extras" may not appeal to everyone, so they are without value.
I really need to ask why you are disappointed already? It is impossible to manage to do everything, and I certainly would not place a dinner ADR before a show that my family wanted to see. I would get rid of 'Ohana, and spend the time in the park so you could enjoy what it has to offer, and make your dinner ADR near DHS. Some of our best meals have occurred because we needed to make changes in the "old standby plans" were used to.
When there has been construction that I felt would detract form our trip we just skipped that park or area. I do not care for congestion so I did not schedule DS during construction and we also skipped DAK. I had no buyers remorse.
We decided to take this trip bc my husband and oldest son never wanted to go, but with him away at collage and my younger son being 9, the scales have shifted. My husband and son are by no means disneyfiles or Star Wars buffs, but there were a few things they wanted to do: Pandora, Ohana, and Star Wars fireworks. I had already told them we were doing those things bc at the time, we were.
My husband is already less then thrilled about dishing out thousands of dollars for this trip and driving 10 hours bc he does not fly. Then, when every announcement we hear is about closures and construction it doesn't help.
I don't have a problem with renovation and additions, and I am glad Disney is always innovating and keeping things new and fresh for return guests. I do think that sometimes those who get to go multiple times can forget that not everyone has that lugsury and what they get on their trip is what they get. I am not suggesting you feel that way, but so many comments have suggested postponing or just coming back and that just isn't an option for us or lots of other guests.
