This outlines how Disney has gone just full-tilt fleecing of their guests. They charge more for everything and are reaping enormous profits from it. They are alienating and insulting their biggest fans and most frequent visitors because they don't spend as much. I am not one of those people, but what company does that. We took a family vacation to Disney World in 2018 when my kids were 5 and 7 that was great and we loved it. But now Disney has taken away a lot of the perks we enjoyed on that extremely expensive trip (advantages of staying in a hotel at the parks) and started charging even more or them. We went to Disneyland for a day during a Los Angeles vacation earlier this year and it was a nightmare - their new reservation system makes you pay to use it, then we had to pay extra for several individual rides. And it was PACKED - this headline above makes it seem like you get something for all that extra money - like it's less crowded or something - but there are still TONS of people at the parks. Don't be fooled.

Always was a Disney Parks fan, i went as a kid and loved it. But no more. They are so greedy!

Your experience at Disneyland was not my recent experience. I thought it was less crowded than usual, and I go maybe 1-2x a year. I'm not that worried about the Disney fanatics who clog the parks, stand around, buy nothing, wait in 1 line for hours. For an occasional visitor who will stay at the hotels, buy the food and the gifts, it makes morse sense for Disney to prioritize those guests. Like many occasional visitors I'm willing to pay more to avoid a lot of the hassle. With the new system my waits were minimal since the pass holders didn't pay up. The annual pass holders are a drain on the system. So anything that makes them visit less is a boon for everyone else. [/quote]
