absolutely - but the issue is now that they are charging for the line skipping method it brings this into question, which doesn't create warm thoughts about the company/management/etc

A question already studied by the premier independent team in studying lines at disney for how long now?

and I agree with the finding, but the fact we have to ask the question or that there could be motive to do so dirties everything, even if on the up and up in the end

It would also be potentially dangerous for Disney to inflate wait times specifically to increase Genie+ sales -- that would likely be grounds for a class action lawsuit.
Considering they don't seem to have any problem selling Genie+/ILLs as-is, there's little reason to take on that risk.

I'm sure there is nothing in a memo, text or email indicating that is SOP but can you trust the mouse after all the money love (site censored the ust word) they have displayed the last few years?

? “Have to ask the question”? These are speculative statements made because of an assumption of guilt- not because actions suggested.
“There could be motive..”?
These are impossible standards to hold to suggest someone can avoid. The company is a business… doesn’t that make any business to be suspect to ‘there could be motive’?
I get people want to be skeptical and concerned… but doing in good faith also means accepting what you discover when you test the theory.

Not going all in doesn’t mean eliminating them entirely. Most of the newer rides they have opened along with the ones planned at Epic Universe are not screen based. This is in stark contrast to the what we received before with F&F, King Kong, Jimmy Fallon, Gringots, Transformers, etc…..

You might want to revisit len’s post… as he doesn’t consult the mouse for his data points

Let me try and help:
The issue is NOT that we think wait times are inflated because it will increase profits.
The issue is we EXPECT them to. We understand there's no evidence, we still expect it.
At least many of us merely expect it, maybe some really think they do, or claim it to put pressure on Disney.
Probably a good amount as capacity is less in some aspects compared to pre 2020.
Hollywood Studios specifically. So many things closed or not operataing fully makes it inflated.
Hmm...say a day at MK...2 adults and 2 kids...best part if $500 - would people really throw $500 in the bin because its a bit hot in summer in Florida?Point being... people throw that commitment away all the time and not only that.. pay a pretty penny to have that power.
No one is going to feel better by saying "at least I forced the kid to be there for 3hrs before I caved in and let them just goto the pool". People punt on their 'already paid for' ticket value all the time... because it's usually more valuable then family meltdown

All the time. At that point the $500 bucks is gone, you have already “thrown in away.” So your left with the choice of having a miserable hot day with kids melting down… or a happier family at the pool, in either case the $500 is already spent

Yet when an actual person looks at the posted times and actually waits in the line and proves the posted wait times are way off, people will still point to the studies and the data and say the posted wait times are correct.
I believe the boots on the ground.

That's crazy to me. If I paid for the tickets I'm **** well using them that day. The only way I wouldn't is if a major storm was going on. I don't pay for a Disney vacation to enjoy the resort. I go for the parks only

This isn't meant to be snarky or rude, so forgive me the personal question but do you have kids?
