Hope we get the old parks back!!!
Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble on here… But Disney still remains a for-profit corporation. Some of the nickel and diming may recede, but don’t expect any major changes.
I expect they may make overtures to appear receptive to the park- Going experience. But no doubt about it, they will still appeal to high upper income people.
Try to squeeze more money from the First Time Visitor or 1% club
And let’s not forget why this is. The parks are becoming more crowded.
I do agree that annual passholders who were able to come for a few hours, took away from those of us out of staters, who are spending a lot more on our visit.
If this was an affordable vacation for everyone (ie, family of 4 could go for $2000) … It would be miserable. The lines would be twice as long as they are now.
This is what Disney bean counters know that causal fans won’t accept
They would have to resort to capping attendance. And it’s not just Disney. This is the new corporate America, in case nobody has been paying attention for the last 20 years.
