- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: A common complaint of the series is that despite being set at Disney World and Disneyland, most of the Disney characters outside of the villains only get cameos or a Big Damn Heroes moment at best. And then The Insider and Disney at Last happened.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
- An adventure in the Magic Kingdom and the other Disney Parks after dark with the characters coming to life and fighting Disney villains? Sounds awesome! Until you get to the bland characters, too much focus on the technical aspects, poor characterizations of characters we already know and love...how long until Jon Favreau's Magic Kingdom movie come out?
- On a more specific note, the ending of The Insider depicts Tia Dalma preparing to resurrect Maleficent, but the latter only gets two post-resurrection action scenes before being killed again, this time for real.
- Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: By the sixth book some fans have stopped reading because they feel it's gotten a little TOO dark, even by Disney standards. A blood sacrifice resulting in the death of a minor character by his best friend will do it.
- Wangst: Depending on your level of tolerance (and how close you are to the target age of the series), you might find Finn's concerns of his normal life (bullies, high school, love triangles, disapproving parents...) on top of fighting Disney villains to either be par for the course or utterly unbearable.
- The Woobie: Dillard. The poor guy's been totally abandoned by his supposed best friend and he gets killed in the sixth book all because he wanted to be a DHI.
