I don't usually ride attractions with more than 30 minutes of standby wait time but there are a couple of rides that had 45 to 60 minutes posted but I only ended up waiting 20-30 minutes. One time on Runaway Railway, wait time was 80 minutes but we only waited around 50 which included 15-20 minutes of downtime as they were cleaning the vehicles.
Well we won’t be going back and we are the target audience. 7 night stay in contemporary costing a small fortune per night. $2500 for 7 day park hopper tickets For 5 of us for the week, eat 3 meals a day on property. Spend a ton on merch. We are headed to universal for 4 nights instead at a fraction of the cost with express pass and skipping every lineNope. They’re open. That’s as good as it’s gonna get for now. It’s not a great idea in the first place...but it’s there if people want it.
Crowded in understaffed places contrary to health rules.
Nope...it’s an awful system. Even legacy - which is a good system - would create another problem (beyond the equipment is gone of probably doesn’t work if there anymore)
Oh!!! The humanity!!!!
Waits are waits. Doesn’t matter to me if they are moving or not. What makes sense is getting to skip the 3 lines that have 100 min waits and then picking anything g else you want to go on depending on your tolerance
And until Disney can attract guest like my family back then none of it will return to normal. People should hope they bring that stuff back, it will speed up the recovery process and help hire back all the people they had to let go
You're staying in the Contemporary out of all resorts and you complain about prices? Make it make sense.
I really feel universal has taken a lot of market share this year. The pandemic created an (unfortunate) opportunity for them to steal away guests and I think universal has taken Disney to school and Disney might be affected (even if it’s just a little) longer term in an area that they had a monopoly on for 40+ years
I’m not complaining about prices. Have you read this thread at all? I’m complaining about what I’m getting (or not getting) for what I’m paying. I’m not getting EMH. I’m not getting dining. I’m not getting fireworks or shows. But most important to my family I’m not getting FP+ that I used to be able to book at 60 days.
Okay fair, but before you went I assumed you did your research and WDW 2020 modified experience has been laid out on the table quite obviously and people should know what to expect, so why still go and waste money when you could have gone first to Universal instead since it suits you better, price and satisfaction wise?
Ok now I’m convinced you didn’t read it (which is ok, it’s a long thread). What I said was I would cancel my April 2021 trip if none of those perks/benefits were reinstated. We prefer Disney, but not when they take away all of the benefits they offer. We have an alternative trip booked for the same week (4 days at universal) and will cancel Disney and go there instead of Disney doesn’t bring back all the perks.
You’re not getting adequate capacity and you’re happy to give it up for a scheme that offers you less.
...you do have a point.
Yes but as a once a year resort guest, I am the main beneficiary of FP+. It is a big benefit to me to be able to book FOP, Everest and Safari at AK and wait in line (even if inflated) at Navi, Kali and dinosaur. There’s no way you will convince me that I would wait less time to ride those 6 rides if there was no FP+ vs having it. It’s just simply not true. There are only 2-3 headline rides and to be able to cut the lines saves a massive amount of time b everyone wants to be on them (MMRR, MFSR, SDD, etc).
Adequate capacity would allow you to do more than just six rides in a full day. Six rides means you’re doing about the bare minimum just as Disney wants.
We do t like to wake up early on vacation and usually don’t go to the parks until about 2pm every day and stay until closing (love the parks at night, all are better with the exception of maybe HS). We would never get a FP for any of the good rides in that case and would be waiting in long lines for every ride.
