So what do we do if we want to visit during a time when there is not adequate capacity?That’s just it, adequate capacity allows for a wider variety of how people visit.

The problem is there will never be a time when enough people vote with their wallet. Look at the amount of complaints about the price for Boo Bash. Yet most nights sold out.I absolutely agree. People who think this way should vote with their wallets. If they believe Genie+ is a detriment, they shouldn’t buy it. When enough people agree and stop paying Disney, Disney will be forced to change. There’s no sense in telling other people what they should or shouldn’t pay for. Everyone makes their own decision and Disney responds accordingly.
I can’t answer for them, but did you read the post before your wrote the response?Could you explain the ways in which you have striven to be a more considerate guest than those you term “Disney Vacation Experts”? Do you deliberately refrain from using FP-style systems? What specifically have you done to promote a more equitable experience for everyone else?
I would welcome answers from others who feel the way you do.
I suppose I understand, but then where does that leave someone like me who goes for only very short stays (two or three days at a time)? Although I splurge on a number of extras to make the most of my limited time, I’m giving Disney far less money overall than some of dissatisfied repeat visitors posting in this thread. I feel that people are trying to have their cake and eat it too by minimising their own part in funding—and thus enabling—Disney. At least I’m happy with what I’m paying for.I know what some are trying to get at. By guests paying for there extra things like Genie+ and Boo Bash that's saying to Disney that it's ok to charge for things that used to be free. Or in the case of Boo Bash charge more for a lesser event. Same could be said about the extra entertainment, people are still going without that so Disney says why bring it back.
Well I know what I’m going to do.So what do we do if we want to visit during a time when there is not adequate capacity?
You know my spending history and how its changed ? Did you see me post somewhere where i was buying in conflict with my concerns? But even still it doesn’t matter… because again you miss the point the discussion isn’t about one individual’s choices. But a discussion around the business, operations and customers (plural… not ones in isolation)Aren’t the dollars you give to Disney also contributing to the problem as you see it? If not, why not?
I wouldn’t have responded to it if I hadn’t. Perhaps you might clarify what you’re getting at, because I’m not getting your point.I can’t answer for them, but did you read the post before your wrote the response?
That’s a very positive attitude, and nothing I can disagree with. I hope WDW is able to provide you with that same sense of magic again one day.Thank you! It’s amazing how fast 25 years can pass.
We spent a little bit of money at least (thank you Disney Visa points!), but way less than we used to. APs, weekend trips, multiple week-long stays per year, and numerous trips to DL and DLP were the norm for us for many years. Our spending with the mouse has decreased dramatically since then, and the 2-night WL trip, our first on-property stay in almost three years, was a marked exception to the rule for us as we navigate a new reality. But as our time at WDW wanes, we know others are taking our place, and as long as Disney is doing its utmost to make them feel what we felt all those years, we’re totally okay with that. Magic is where you find it after all, and at the end of the day, we’re really thankful just to be here.

You can express concern with the capacity. The whole reason Disney dropped in TRON and Ratatouille and finally realized FastPass+ really wasn’t working as intended and had to be scrapped is because people continued to be dissatisfied by crowding. It won’t address that big structural issues that make really adding capacity so difficult, but it’s a start.So what do we do if we want to visit during a time when there is not adequate capacity?
If you continue to spend time and money at Disney (and if I recall your posting history correctly, you do), you are still giving the company your financial support. How are your dollars less of an issue than mine? In what specific ways do you try to be more considerate of “operations and customers” (plural) than you perceive me as being?You know my spending history and how its changed ?

I agree with your logic, but I can’t recall a single instance in which it was claimed that the parks felt less crowded after the opening of something new, whether an attraction or a land. Can you think of any such cases?
I was asking him to provide a meaningful alternative to the scenario he was complaining about. It’s all well and good berating others for their supposed thoughtlessness, but none of the moralisers has so far demonstrated how their Disney dollars aren’t contributing to the problems they’re describing.Your response has nothing to do with their post.
I just can’t anymore.If you continue to spend time and money at Disney (and if I recall your posting history correctly, you do), you are still giving the company your money.

I don’t recall anyone saying that overall crowd levels at WDW felt better or more manageable with those openings.you don’t remember when people talked about the rest of animal kingdom being while pandora was booming?
or how everest waits were lower due to rivers of light shows occupying people?
or how fireworks and f! Change dhs wait times?
Or the flex theater at dhs?
What about toy story land?
Did you think New fantasy land made the rest of magic kingdom experience worse?
That’s sensible. I agree there’s nothing to be gained by drawing this out further.I just can’t anymore.
Huh?I was asking him to provide a meaningful alternative to the scenario he was complaining about.
