Bingo. You wonder where the stories come from about how people went to Disney and had a bad time because they didn't get to do anything good come from?
They are doing the non-headliners with shorter lines, watching shows, eating, shopping, meeting characters, watching parades and fireworks and a lot of wandering around (but the scenery and area music is nice), app games, and as just mentioned the AR filters for taking photos. The number of people in a park that actually gets to experience all the best rides... it's really only a small percentage of the daily total. Everyone else is picking, choosing and compromising. Which is why Disney offers all those other types of things. It should be obvious that if AK averages 38K per day like they did in 2019, and FOP only handles 14K per day, most people aren't riding FOP. Same goes for all the other rides. Some is by choice. Kid is too short, don't like coasters, have an AP you'll ride next week, but a lot of it is people don't like waiting.
