I started in the queue with a 400+ number and was down to 120 by the time it filled. Then the wait was to join the waitlist. I think some people will cancel or not pay the deposit, but I think I’m still pretty far down the list (based on how long it took me to get from 120 to 0).
I was impressed that they designed the interactive story in a way where both introverts and extroverts could get get involved in different ways. It was totally possible to just answer questions on your phone, do app-based missions, and observe the characters without really needing to interact in person heavily. You’d still get invited to do special missions and attend meetings.
I also felt like it would be hard to significantly reduce the price without reducing the experience. There are just so many moving pieces that come together for the story. The Imagineers did an amazing job… it’ll be a shame if Disney and other companies don’t take chances on these kinds of unique experiences because of this.
