Disney World, disappointing?
Many in Central Florida would beg to differ, but travel website Smarter Travel has named Walt Disney World one of the "10 Most Disappointing Destinations in the World."
Smarter Travel's reasoning behind calling the Mouse House "more letdown than must-see" has a lot to do with high prices not just for admission, but for food and drinks inside the theme parks.
Paying $99 per day to be trapped in a park surrounded by other peoples' children and fully grown adults who like Disney? No thanks.
Even a bottle of water will run you $2.50 once you're within reach of the Mouse's greedy grasp.
Other U.S. tourist destinations deemed overrated by Smarter Travel include Niagara Falls, Hollywood, Liberty Island and Las Vegas.
