It's theme park tickets. It's literally theme park tickets. "dehumanizing" Chapek didn't make folks crawl in a weird simon-says game. They literally just opened sales of the number of keys they had to sell. A few days warning would have been nice so people could prepare but my gods stop exaggerating. "human carnage" war is right there in Europe. "violated human decency" pls go look at migrant issues.
Why didn't Disney charge more for the passes then? All this talk about people reaching their limits is absolutely nonsense.
I'm just shocked that Disney didn't charge more. They continue to way under price the product which leads to a terrible guest experience.
Just crazy. I wouldn't tolerate that treatment. I would dump DVC.
Yeah for me it's like two-fold I see rapid increase and am like
and yet also think the pricing is not high enough to make the overall experience better. Even at WDW the increase of $100 for whenever those APs go on sale for that highest tier...it's a lot at $1299 but I'm not sure it's high enough. I've been reading far too many threads and comments from people with trips at DL upset over things like crowding, service and really high up on the list is ride breakdowns. For that reason I understand why charging as much as they are is a disappointment.
But what choice should they have made? Not sell the passes? I'm shocked with poor park experience that so many are rushing to buy passes.
I'm sure they're balancing their desire to do so with feedback from their PR department.
Yeah probably. They are just in a no win situation.
That's a great question. It's obvious Disney could sell turd in a bucket in the shape of mouse ears and people would line up and empty their wallets for it.
Agreed which means there will be no pressure to supply anything other than a turd.
Yup. I completely agree. I was in the in middle of editing my post to reflect this sentiment.
I think this all pre-dates the pandemic. Perhaps at DL things weren't quite as in your face even with MP around as they were at WDW but it did seem like the framework for how the parks were run was sliding. I do think APs at DL were treated more highly than they are now but the state of the parks were already going into a different direction pre-pandemic. I do think they are more aimlessly running these days though, like they have this track they've been going on and whether it's a good track or not, they are deciding to stick with running it in that direction. Unfortunately consumers don't aid in this. When you have so many people still willing to buy things the company has less reason to even truly look at the disgruntlements. I am truly surprised though at how many ride issues they've been experiencing at DL which comes from locals to visitors alike.
Don't be. For all the talk on boards like this there are a lot of people who still go and enjoy it ...
They are will continue to sell the low tier pass as it's mostly a weekday pass and that's when they want the unfavorables to visit.
I want to agree but not having internet or cell service is also not "dehumanizing", "human carnage", or a "violated human decency". I agree we are all privileged just by being here, but pointing out privilege was not the point of my comment. The moment Chapek starts the Magic Key Hunger Games then I will rally behind the PP's use of those serious terms. Till then
This is the best.
The later half of this is making me facepalm. Because if this is true than this is twice in the last month I’ve heard of the execs having 0 clue what they actually own in terms of actual value.
