MESSY: Friday The 13th at Disney Hollywood Studios

Disney parks on both coasts had overly crowded and imperfect events on Friday. However, it was complete chaos at Disney World’s Limited Time Magic event for Friday the 13th at Disney Hollywood Studios. A lack of proper staffing led to a traffic jam heading into the parking lot that lasted for hours (staring around 4:30pm), many guests were ultimately rerouted by security/police to Epcot for parking. The park was gridlocked on Hollywood Blvd and guests had trouble finding where and when the villains would be located in the park and special event merchandise sold out immediately, leaving lots of angry customers (who seemed to be mostly passholders and off duty cast members). Guest Relations processed  a massive list of complaints all night long. However, to his credit, park Vice President was personally taking guest complaints, handing out communication cards and handling issues all night long. You can bet that he was upset with how the event transpired and that there will be some heavy discussions about the situation in Team Disney Orlando come Monday morning.

Many people keep saying "you did not miss anything", "no fun at all", "I better stay on my couch", just to name few...

We hope to see something like a 3-5 days of this special event. Besides that Guest Relations received many complaints, we were hoping to get discount, to be extend event, or/and cast members and friend only show for one day (showing that way the appreciation for their cast members if there is any).
