Not like how it used to be
by Jill on 11/16/22Veterans Memorial Coliseum - PortlandRating: 3 out of 5We have gone to DoI for 7 consecutive years and I think this may be the last of it. It just feels like they don’t even care anymore. The entire experience felt sloppy. Please hire more employees. Here are my feedback: 1) Disallowing us to bring in water (especially for children) is appalling. It all comes down to $$$ and how much this event is profiting. I was so upset when the security person instructed us to pour out our waters. 2) Hundreds/thousands of people were all over the place. It would’ve been nice to have more employees present to help guide people where to go. 3) Let’s admit it - this facility is too small for the amount of people coming through. The wait line for the bathrooms was ridiculous. 4) The prices are OUTRAGEOUS. $15 for cotton candy and the amount inside the bag was the size of my hand. 5) The emcee/ host was annoying. Didn’t play the part well. 6) Your ice skating performers were amateurs and lacked he skills to perform in such a high-caliber event. All in all, you need to invest in more employees and performers and charge LESS on your foods and souvenirs. Disney profits enough.
