WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

They have been doing this for ages with EP.

But that’s a better product. Hands down

All parks do that with their skip the line system. That is also an add on and isn't something you need to visit the park.

Here’s an interesting thought.

What about the negative reaction of guests who were going to go, but got shafted by higher prices because they booked late?

I can bet that a lot of people would just say screw it and do something else.

Well this management will not stop until they die…so this isn’t a concern

So you’re cool with Virtual Queue then, right? I don’t particularly care how new something is — bad practices that force you to buy a LL or extra park ticket stink.

It really depends on how the virtual queue is applied or why it’s “needed”

Again it's not like this ticket package is the only thing way to buy tickets ever. They have already said Epic Universe single day park tickets will be made available soon.

I get that the way Universal is doing isn't necessarily the best way but it's no where near as bad as the possible surge pricing rumor.

You're excusing bad behavior by explaining, "But they'll stop the bad behavior later!"

Is it OK to steal if later on, you stop being a thief?

Just cause other businesses do it doesn't mean Disney should do the same. This a horrendous idea. No other theme park does this crap.

Just about all other parks will do this if Disney does it.

Finally someone who understands! I was arguing with my mom about this earlier too she thinks it will make the park less busy I doubt that myself

I think a thief might have a better excuse sometimes people go through hard times and do things that may not always be right
