It’s kind of a trend across the board. Football stadiums have less capacity now than before (likely eaten up by luxury boxes and the like) movie theaters don’t have as many seats, but the seats they do are bigger so they can charge an upcharge. I think it’s a realization that at some point they reach saturation in terms of pure numbers, but rather seek to maximize how much they can get per guests instead.
TBH Genie+ should have been limited. Giving it everyone doesn't work
Those venues reduced seating and focused on being more premium to deal with declining visitation. That’s not what occurred at the Magic Kingdom where visitation increased. 1994 was a really bad year for Disney, but in the past 30 years with increasing visitation Disney still has not fully replaced the capacity lost by closing the Adventureland Veranda* and then also shuttered other venues or waffled with them being seasonal (Tortuga Tavern and Tomorrowland Terrace).
It’s not the market or the dynamics of cedar point.
I get it seniors and littles don't want to wait in long lines and there is more to do then riding rides. My counter to that is Universal is similar to Disney in market and dynamics and they do just fine limiting their Express Pass.
But it’s not the same dynamic…universal was built with “thrills” in mind and known to have high end things that weren’t for everyone since day 1…so the expectations are distinctly different.
My wife and I are planning a Disneyland trip for our 20th anniversary in 2024.., I am quite looking forward to it…as a regular WDW traveler…I am quite looking forward to it… as it seems in may be more relaxing and less stressful
Maybe expect a different kind of stressful?
Go straight to the 5 day hoppers if you want to relax there. It's a lot to do.
That’s what they want you to do.
Why weed is legal there.....
Some decisions coming from Burbank may have been under the influence.
@DKampy I’m going to counter this suggestion and say go for three days and save the other two days for another Southern California activity, assuming you’re even going for that long.
We are going for 8 days… with 2 days planned for Disneyland… 1 day planned for DCA and are Anniversary is in October we are going to check out Ophir Boogie bash one night… we are also going to Universal Studios… I would like to do the famous tram tour…with 2 days to check out other Southern California sites since I have never been

I feel so special!
Bobby C. Would never do this.
I initially read it as eight days at Disneyland. Thankfully, that’s not the case.
