What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

This is definitely our favorite ride. Love this ride. so much fun because of all the different jokes and it changes every time that you ride it.

If you're looking for fast and refurbished and beautiful and fun, this is the ride for you.

It's been a beautiful day. Wonderful beach day. Love coming out here. It's so calm and peaceful.

I would definitely stay here again. I think this this property is fantastic.

The resort is fantastic. The people here are even nicer. Uh service was excellent, off the charts.

The Watch-outs

This corner view suite on deck 5 is not as advertised.

the technology with msse is atrocious yeah it is so bad the website the app none of it works

This is a Wi-Fi router that is in your room... it is constantly flashing red and green all night long.

there was a dirty Q-tip um there was like a bathing suit liner um there was a clip toenail on our balcony

Starting off our list at number 22 is Tomorrowland Speedway. Nothing about this screams innovated or tomorrow. It's hot, loud, and smelly.
