I spent four days at Colonial Williamsburg 7/31-8/4 2024. I have been to CW five times in the past . TO say it was horrible doesn’t do justice to horrible . It was over 100 degrees w the heat index . They didn’t have many cast members on site . I was told a combination of heat and few people employed meant the place was basically a shell of a town . There were no water stations for the visitors and almost no where to eat lunch. The on sire restaurants are either closed completely or only open for dinner. I stayed in one of the rooms in the colonial homes . I have stayed in them before and nothing had been updated , so like classic 1985. The 20 or so building exhibits in the buildings rotated and were not operational daily . There is no admission gate , and the town butts up against the village , so you could just walk around and pay nothing . I was waiting outside in the blistering sun on Thursday to enter into the House of Burgesses when I received a call from my dentist to change my appointment as I had broken a crown on my trip . I walked over to the brick fence , which was outside and took the call. A costumed Colonial Karen came over and informed me that I would have the exit the courtyard , which was outside and take the call . I asked her where it was posted that we couldn’t take a call outside while standing in line to enter an attraction ( Picture the line outside the Haunted Mansion at Disney World complete w heat n sun ). She couldn’t give me an answer . She was typical of the unfriendly old crones that one encounters on site . The type of Gladys Kravets that makes a visit here memorable. They yell at you to make sure you have no gum in your mouth , no beverages open in a cup . You could only bring in water or soda capped and not open inside . I can understand that because it is historic , however they could provide water , or have stands selling beverages . There were none . The plays I went to after dark , Haunted Tour , Hang a Pirate , and Hang a Witch were ok . Again we had to wait in the heat outside until they were ready for us to enter . Don’t look for an entrance or exit sign nor someone to point the way after the show was over . Other than a pricy , all be it excellent meal, or those performances , there is nothing to do after 5 pm on the premises of C. W. The entire restoration seems to be confused that the tourists are the ones paying for the experience and not the subordinates to their petty , crabby , staff . I did voice my concerns with people in charge while there! Avoid this Colonial Dinosaur of a place . Save your money , if your town has an old convent with broken down furniture , appointments, and crabby old nuns , stop there ! I promise that it will be more joyous and respectful than a day at Colonial Williamsburg! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !! I travel a lot and this is a disappointment .
