Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

[Jrb1979]

It’s wild to me that they may have underestimated so badly then…

I don't think they did underestimate badly. That is unfortunately how much capacity they have to make it work.

Bingo.

It’s like paying for an all you can eat buffet a 20 bucks but then saying you need to pay an extra six dollars if you want the chocolate dessert, 7 for steak instead of chicken, 10 bucks for coke products instead of Publix cola. People just don’t realize it because of the Disney “spell”.

So you've never been anywhere thats all you can eat/drink, but excluding alcohol?

What’s worse?

Falsifying wait times?
OR
Animal Kingdom listing floatilla only characters on the app along with characters that meet inside the park?

Comes across as you can meet those characters inside the park when in reality, you can only see them on the waterways.

Just one of “many” animal kingdom “attractions”

We’re at or nearing $200/day if you consider base ticket cost, plus G+, plus and ILL

I do not see that as a problem.
As pointed out, Universal is 150 for the base and if you want to skip lines, that is another 200.
Locally, Hamilton is in town. Tickets started at 125 for the upper balcony. for 3 hours. If you wanted to actually see the show Orchestra Seats started at 205. Again for 3 hours.
For the Cowboys, upper deck starts at $150. plus add ons. Again for just a few hours.
For our local Six Flags, admission this weekend is $50 plus Flash Pass is $70 for the basic. then they have a menu of additional add ons.
I still find Disney the value

"It works for MEEEEEE!!!! so therefore it has value and is great!"

"Other forms of entertainment that have nothing to do with theme parks cost the same or more, so let's compare those for the 8,463,743rd time!"

Bob thanks you all each and every day for your continued loyalty to his money-making schemes that are designed to screw you.

The price for MK and the 4 park pass went down $2 today. It's now $25. So at least it appears $27 wasn't the baseline price. Oh DHS went down too.

So much for the theory that they would just raise the prices. In an admittedly small sample it's been cheaper the first 2 days for most people.

Yes, I can see how you seem happier.

I'm not sure how you can say that in light of variable pricing. For example, in May we paid $18 for what is now a multi-park Genie+. If you think this new system was introduced to make things cheaper for guests, I'm going to disagree.

I'm talking about the prices that have been charged recently before the change.

They always start lower with new things. Give it a moment.

Yeah, their PR sense for the parks seems pretty miserable, but I think even they know that it would be a terrible idea to implement this change and then jack up the prices immediately. The internet headlines would write themselves. I'd give it at least a couple of weeks, and even then, it will be gradual.

Yep.

I'm living for the day when I'm a glamorous, older woman who lounges around in kaftans and jewelry all day and is always just a little bit buzzed.

The dream helps me through my work day.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Not for everyone.

Yep…for everyone.

Opinions vary…math and ops problems are constants

What a mess this chit chat turned into today!

Do we need some medics in here?…maybe someone in a yellow suit with a Geiger counter?
