All you’re doing is denying yourself. You’re not having any impact on the parks.Not buying lighting lane is my “good start”
…i’m working on the rest…like a 12 step program. I said “No” to zootopia 2…and every other Disney release this year except for stitch…does that count?
It's better but some of that is due to lower attendance.
I think park operations made adjustments to keep standby moving more efficiently.
…winner, winner,

When we went last November the parks were definitely not as packed as in prior years.
Oh, I realise that. It’s been discussed quite extensively in these threads.
Still, there are some pretty long wait times right now for the headliner attractions. (Using Touringplans Lines app). There must be someone in the parks!
Headliner attractions will always have a wait. Another way to change it would be to keep the single LL for the headliners in each park.
I wonder if it isn't headed that way.
Why are theme parks not for people who like to wait less time? Saving 20 minutes per ride for 6 rides is 2 hours saved.
Something tossed around in Disney circles a lot is the idea that parks are really a “menu” where you tour with your preferences…

That’s not accurate…they operate on the mass model…which means all policies are formulated with a focus on maximum yield…
If things get accepted that are terrible for the consumers…rest assured they will be intent on homogenizing them.
In this instance…they are using line “skips” as a revenue source to account for their other products that are not doing as well…if we cut the crap. Lightly attended parks…empty food venues…crap retail…
All of those things would become worse.
That doesn’t mean an a la carte pricing system won’t be necessary at some point…but it’s really isn’t right now. That lighting lane revenue is a crutch for bad management to avoid doing the hard things: strengthening the parks. They’ve been overall stagnant for about 20 years…which is just how funny math can be
I am ultra critical cause I just “hate” parks…of course…it’s not that I don’t want to see the day come where they are in serious bad shape.
I treat this current crop of Disney management like I treat the electorate. I won’t assume they’re smart because they repeatedly prove they are in fact dumb.
Armchair philosophy on a Saturday.
Unless every single line is a walk on the entire day not sure how anyone would feel
Who’s excusing that? But you will eventually have to sleep SOMEWHERE
Bad decisions that actually affect everyone in the longterm are very tiresome and aloof.
Value all the way for me baby lmao. They not getting my money for anything above that. No point at all hahaha.Who’s excusing that? But you will eventually have to sleep SOMEWHERE
Thats unfair to say & is not unique to Disney either. You can look at sporting events, concerts, movies, eating out etc. lets face it we both know people arent going to stop going in a sense where it truly causes damage Its a pipe dream. What does bother me is the fact they can build expand keep parks open later & bring back entertainment & everything else they have taken away and people will still pay up.
I haven’t been in many months but this reminded me of our horrible LL experience at HS a couple years ago and has me wondering if that wasn’t an underlying factor in why we skipped HS on our trip last year. A few years ago we only managed 1 good LL before everything was sold out, we left that night feeling completely ripped off, I’d forgotten until I read this post.
I’ve repeatedly questioned the sanity of anyone willing to pay rack rate at a Disney hotel.
On the other hand if you read through these threads there are a lot of people who had very good success with LLs.
