Alright, let's discuss Disney.
I thought the competition was pretty great. For everything you pay, you seem to get a lot. My parents and kids had a BLAST. The logistics that must go into this are crazy to me, because there were a TON of crossovers and different venues in completely different places. They had a special shuttle just for coaches and crossovers, and when they fell behind and our crossovers missed their warm up and performance, they were super nice and allowed us to push back. I thought it was expensive, but I think people got their money's worth. Most of my kids went to the parks at least 3 times, and I think they all got the fun Disney experience. Disney has top notch service in everything. I would recommend going to anyone because it really was fun!
The other thing I didn't like was this-I have never in my life met so many rude people ever. It blows my mind how mean cheerleaders and parents can be. Making fun of our dances, talking crap about our accents, it's unreal.... A team that was in 10th out of 11 was just downright nasty to us and laughing at us. They finished 11th out of 11. Where are all the nice gyms at?! Even our parents were like "is it because we are a small gym?" We met one set of coaches that were amazing (River City), and I felt like everyone else was trying out to be the next cast of Mean Girls. Am I imagining this? I really hope I am and it was just us, but it was not just one or two people. It was over and over again, and it started at the airport and never stopped.
My only other complaint-scoring. I might cry if I discuss it, but I'm waiting for videos first... :(
