re: Disney World is way more of a Demeaning and Dehumanizing Experience Today

I have no issue at all with people who fill Disney parks. Their choice, their money.

Now, I do wonder in my head why you would take kids younger than say 5 there, as they won't remember it I wouldn't think, but maybe if you have a 15-5 spread it makes sense in ages.

To me, the bigger surprise is the economics of it. Hundreds of dollars a day for a small family. I need some OT money.

He’s not far from the truth. I was there two days ago. Actual numbers I would see on Genie +

Smugglers Run: 95 minutes
Rise of the Resistance: 150 minutes
Slinky Dog: 120 minutes
Tower of Terror: 135 minutes
Rockin Roller Coaster: 125 minutes
Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway: 95 minutes
Toy Story Mania: 70 minutes

Every decent ride was at least over an hour to around a three hour wait all day.

If you use just one lightning pass at a time (assuming you can’t log in to buy extras in time which happened quite often) you’ll be lucky to ride 3 of them without standing in line all day.

I am online now after doing Hollywood today. Got on at 7am this morning and got my lightning plus, or whatever it's called where you pay to ride that ride only, for Rise and used a lightening lane for Slinky Dog. By the time we were able to select again, all that was open was You Story Mania. When we got to the park at 8:40 or so, we went straight for the Runaway Railroad and did stand by. As soon as we were done with that, the Tower of Terror, RR coaster, and everything else was over an hour wait. Even the alien saucer things in Toy Story Land was over an hour a lot of the day.

This new system isn't friendly for people with kids. We either grab what the kids want to ride or grab the bigger ones they might not like to ride. We ended up not being able to do Smugglers Run, TT, and RR coaster today. Even with only trying to get it adults only.
