Even if that’s true…it’s atrocious longterm management
I was being salty but it is true and (as you know) we have been saying this FOR YEARS on these boards.

I was just talking to a work associate and she said the MK was MOBBED on Wednesday. I wanted to think they finally be hitting a breaking point but maybe its not true.

Maybe there will be an EPIC change in their thinking in 2025?

I love the “celebration” of genie selling…

…forgetting that the park ride/attraction capacity still sits at 2005 level flow comfort…

So you get people trying to “buy their way out of it” and then griping and talking how awful it is on the way home.

Everyone here knows - I would venture - someone who has described that scenario…it’s becoming Standard

And it’s terrible for business

Now we know what changes they planned to make to G+ in 2024

Higher pricing

I think Disney should flip to the Fortnite model: park admission and movies are free, but Disney charges a premium for D-bucks can be used to buy cosmetic items (like digital avatars, custom minivan stick-figure family stickers, mouse ears, popcorn buckets, trading pins) and other things that aren't real, like fan club status, achievement badges, in-world titles, or DVC points.

Because there is no limit to what people will pay for Disney parks.

Honestly though, not too bad for your 4th LL. I thought it would be far worse on a sold out day.

Wonder if they lower th cap a bit (or it has been lower)

Not saying I would want to pay $35 for it but paying that and being able to get 5 or 6 decent uses is better than $30 and getting 2 good rides

They got taken, everyone hates to feel taken, they tell their friends how it feels

I was kind of wondering if they were always going to "sell out" Monday and Tuesday of this week (we will see if it sells out today) and use it as an excuse to bump the price even higher starting Thursday due to "unprecedented demand".

My wife and I were talking trying to figure out what our price limit would be for G+ for MK. As much as I hate to say it, we haven't hit it yet.

…oh get ready for REAL stupidity to start

It’s coming…soon
I don't understand people anymore. It seems that no matter what Dis does, it's just wonderful. I know...I probably shouldn't be on this site any longer, but I check in just to get a few laughs at the lengths people will go to say what a fun time they had paying a ridiculous amount just to walk into a park and then another ridiculous amount to ride a ride. Since I canceled the last two trips, I paid off my car loan, am now debt free and have no plans to give Disney another dime. We had an enormous amount of fun at WDW on past trips but that's over.
