Where has this guy been?
When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better.
That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood.
Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day’s activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter.
I don’t understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I’ve always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we’ll be doing and where we’ll be going during our Disney trips.
Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed?
Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?
For some people, making appointments and reservations is really stressful. Compound that with massive crowds everywhere, makes Disney hell for some.
Are you joking?? What sort of super extrovert are you, and why do you think everyone is like that? I’ve never been to Disney world or wherever and it’s SPECIFICALLY because of what you just typed!! Bloody nightmare. Just get me a cabin somewhere.
This has 0 to do with intra/extraversion, that’s plain ol’ anxiety
Please don’t confuse introversion with anxiety, they are different.

It’s not extroverted to book a reservation. Particularly since Disney let’s you do it online without talking to anyone. I’d say it’s less extroverted than replying to a post on Lemmy.
I’m not sure why you’re focusing on booking a reservation because there’s a lot more (obvious) things to Disney world that introverts aren’t going to like other than booking reservations.
I think mostly because that’s what the article was talking about: the need to book plans in advance (as well as the price) being the critical factor in the stress of the Disney World vacation.
The article wasn’t really about people who don’t like being in crowds.
I got that. I was never trying to argue that at all. The only thing I was trying to comment on was what I interpreted as OPs exasperation at how anyone at all would want to avoid that vacation, when to me even with all the planning and reservations and everything they described it is still asking a lot from introverts, even if it’s way easier than just winging it without a plan.
