Someone please save the guests from WDW Entertainment and their bad decisions.
While dressed in an official Disney thong…NOT sold at the EmporiumSlip a dollar bill in his honey jar......
Or when laid off go the heck out of Dodge ( FL ).I assume they're still staffing up entertainment after seemingly almost every single laid off CM during the pandemic found much better jobs.
I didn't say where that much better job wasOr when laid off go the heck out of Dodge ( FL ).
The grass looks like garbage, too. Have they ever heard of fertilizer?
Apparently, they have forgotten what it’s like for a child to enter MK for the first time and immediately see characters. Moments like that make parents book a return trip.
smh
Exactly. They could easily do what they do in Tokyo and maintain a few structure queue meet and greets like they do in their two parks.
Disney is just too cheap to provide attendants and staffing that way.
They designed the meet and greets now as attractions, such as Fairy Tale Hall where they are able to distribute it and sell it as fastpass and now genie plus.
My point was that it was cheaper to not also offer it.The wdw way lije fairytale hall is not cheaper - it’s more because it’s the scaled solution.
Wdw’s model is to br able to provide the m&g as a continuous and scaled thing (3 rooms at same time etc) where characters can swap out continuously.
Adhoc characters are not continuous and only work shifts then disappear. They also don’t require expensive fixed infrastructure.
Cheaper may not be the best operative word in terms of operation on surface, but ROI vs guest experience.
The fixed infrastructure operates as a venue and is budgeted as such. It also now brings in revenue and distributes crowds. It can also be manipulated to counting as formerly fast pass and could be Genie Plus.
It can have variable staffing and still operate with longer waits or adjust for "business needs" of crowd level. You can have princesses and their attendants/photographers ER for the day if it is slow.
It's a bigger ROI for WDW. It is nice, like Mickey and Minnie it gives a better likelihood to meet who you want, but it certainly saves Disney the cost of those same characters free roaming
Just to clarify I never said fastpass plus. This concept 100 percent was accelerated and expanded during fastpass advent when surveys asked guests what minimum amount of things done made them feel like their day was worth it and they could distribute queues. Prior to this in the early 90s Mickey and Minnie/random fab were the only m&g operated this way consistently.The concept predates both genie and fastpass plus… so it obviously can’t be part of the motivation discussion about why m&gs ar wdw are designed this way.
Which when compared to a traditional m&g is the same. So again, the wdw model decision isn’t based around that
It’s about ‘how do i ensure more people can meet the highest demand characters? ‘ They spend money building out infrastructure so they can run three at a time continuously without significant gaps — which tbe traditional m&g model would not support.
That is why it was done. Not because it’s cheaper… not because of genie… but because it meant higher capacity m&g
It's a great guest satisfaction but at the heart was to easily.make meet.snd greets most profitable.
Note what i said:
“but because it meant higher capacity m&g”
“The wdw way lije fairytale hall is not cheaper - it’s more because it’s the scaled solution.”
I didn’t say guest satisfaction nor giving people what they wanted. I said it’s how they scaled m&gs
You can go on its own tangent of why the company wants m&g or not….
I’ve seen more bloggers in a day at Disneyland than I’ve seen my entire life going to WDW.
People need to stop making excuses for Disney being cheap in Florida.
MK also has the most attendance of any theme park in the world.It’s not really them being cheap. It’s significantly cheaper to send out a single character roaming than it is to staff a meet and greet all day.
The Magic Kingdom has the most number of characters out than any other Disney park in the world. And has done for a long while now.
How’d you come up with that math!?The Magic Kingdom has the most number of characters out than any other Disney park in the world. And has done for a long while now.

And you say it isn’t them being cheap but then explain how much cheaper it is?
How’d you come up with that math!?
Mickey has 3 rooms on town square?The multiple multi room meet and greets with long hours
Mickey has 3 rooms on town square?
Does each princess have multiple rooms in fantasyland or is it one each?
Does aerial have 2 rooms?
