yeah, they were. Big beefy hot dogs and the burgers were little sliders. Fine, but nothing special. The smashed burger I bought from a normal concession stand was MUCH better than anything in the VIP area.
ESPN Invitational - Would you complain/ask for a refund (or partial)?
- Thread starter ISUCyclones2015
- Start date
The analogy is about timing. If you want a full or partial refund you lose the ability to do that reasonably after going to all three games and not raising it during the event. If you go the first night, see what’s there vs what was advertised and ask for a refund that is reasonable. Even doing it the second night is probably reasonable because by that point you know exactly what the experience will be and it wasn’t just first day issues.
The turkey sandwich night looks like something they would have served at Fyre Fest.
I've been to Disney twice and all that seems like par for the course. They will take your money at all costs.

I'd say live and learn. Check out the details before spending the money. If they don't provide details, it probably isn't worth it.
I would let them know how you felt. All companies/event planners are looking for feedback. They probably won't give you a refund but might throw in a Disney sweatshirt or maybe a ticket to next year's event for taking the time to voice your opinion.
Disney keychain maybe.
Disney has a brand they have grown and protect.
I'd bark. That was straight garbage
Overpaying for an underwhelming experience is on brand for Disney in 2023. That company has ZERO money right now is shaking the couch cushions for money in order to afford their mandated Hulu purchase.

Not even first world problems here, Karen.
Everything is overpriced right now. This seems wildly predictable. What kind of food options were you really thinking they would provide?

I would complain tactfully. Especially regarding the "evening sessions will have a heavier food offering." A Holiday Inn express for $95 has better offerings and you get a hotel room.
- Be brief
- Be kind
- Give a couple specific examples of what was a shortcoming
- Tell them that you feel a fair resolution would be X (I'd suggest a 25% refund)
And then let it go. If they never respond, it's not worth your mental space.
If you don't ask, you won't receive. If you ask, you might!

Damn near the same angle we sat in during Cyclone Alley. Did you go full speedo?
Not attending the tournament, this would be my biggest complaint. We were traveling so I was trying to look at the bracket to see if/where games would be televised so I could look to see if we might be able to watch. The posted bracket had nothing for tv information, even for the first round. I know for about every other holiday tournament we go to, each game is pre-listed with time and TV, so this was surprising for being an "ESPN Event"
