I agree there is nothing wrong with being a Disney adult. For the most part why they get hated on is due to people not understanding them. Same goes for Coaster Enthusiasts, my family doesn't understand why my vacations revolve around visiting amusement parks across the country. Only thing...

It depends on how you view the parks and how you grew up with them. For some who grew up with the parks in the 80s and 90s, they have declined in some ways. Other than Animal Kingdom, the parks feel very similar to Magic Kingdom with the IP and no real theme anymore. As good as the new...

That's another thing I don't like. Just cause am attraction doesn't have long waits doesn't mean it's bad. Parks need low wait attractions to offset the busy ones.

IMO Dollywood is catching up to the quality of Disney and Universal. They may not be a week long vacation park or have the IP but that new attraction they are adding is no joke.

I agree it needed characters to make it engaging for kids. The way the originally did it fit much better than they are doing it now. Having the character meet and greets for each country and the cancelled Maru Poppins ride fit much better My issue it feels that now that theme fit means little...

Yet Kids will line up for Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Tiki Room. All I'm saying is IP is fine, but make it fit the theme of the park. I'm not a fan of making all parks and extension of castle parks. A good example of a Disney park that is very successful and has little IP is...

I feel they could do all of that without the IP. Had they finished World Showcase as planned with the Mt Fuji coaster, the Germany boat ride it could have accomplished the same thing. I also have come to accept that the overall theme of the parks is irrelevant now. Put IP that children and...

Its much worse now. IMO adding Guardians to Epcot, even though it's a good ride, was one of their worst ideas.

No cause most guests are happy with 3 like skips they can pre book.

The added attractions have been good. The issue with this IP mandate is that more and more they just don't fit the theme of the park. Guardians doesn't fit Epcot, Piston Peak doesn't fit Frontierland and the Americas area doesn't fit Animal Kingdom.

What I'm saying is while everyone can buy it, everyone may not get the attractions they want cause return times do fill up. There isn't enough capacity for everyone that buys like skips to get every attraction.

It technically is about capacity. No park has enough capacity to let everyone have access to like skips. It hasn't got them to spend more money. Sure guests are spending on LLMP and Premier pass but they aren't spending it on table service or merch like they used to. They are using that money...

In theory it's not a bad thing. Nobody wants to wait in lines. At the end of the day there isn't enough capacity for everyone to have short waits. The thing is this system is failing like all the other previous versions have. The point of Fastpass was to get people out of lines so they can...

Remember if everyone is special nobody is special. Its not meant for everyone to have it.

Difference is other parks limit it to one like premier pass.
