At the time, corporate sponsorship made the park run. Every new attraction had to be sponsored by GE, Pepsi, Ford, etc. Club 33 was originally a VIP lounge to do business. Walt didn’t even want alcohol present there, but gave in at GE’s behest.

Disneyland is run by idiots. They should be ashamed.

We are going in February for a cheer comp. We normally would do 3-4 days, 2 days and we are done this time.

If you have $10M, why wouldn't you pay the $400? There are about 1.5million people in the US who are worth more than

They'll never do this, but they need to put a cap on daily visitors. It's not

There is a cap, but it's way too large.

A bit more expensive, but similar to the Universal Express pass system, which is miles better than Disney’s

Isn't that what they do in Disneyland Paris?

The whole "Disney on your phone" sucks horribly. Fast Pass was so much better with the ticket posts at the attraction

Doesn’t this solve it? Pay, then never use your phone to manage line access the rest of the way.

It solves the issue of more money for shareholders. It actually makes crowd control worse. And here is why: Almost

No, I get that. But I was responding to “Disney on your phone”

Gotcha. Yeah, the early morning reservations suck.

No one is forced to use it or even go to the park. I refuse to go to Disneyland

Only place to make a difference is with your wallet. Just don't go.

My solution to the Disney overcrowding and over charging problem is simple, but has worked very well for me.

Do all you can to steer people to Universal Orlando instead. It's waaaaaaay better.

I’m ok with ridiculously overpriced luxuries if it subsidizes costs for everyone

Walt still catered to the wealthy... Club 33 is an example of this

I'm fine with a secret VIP area like that. But this new $400 is just close

What do you mean "upset the balance of the parks"?

HarlemCoug

It's basic supply/demand. They can't sell too many otherwise you don't get any value from it.

This sort of makes sense for Disneyland where you might visit all relevant parks in 1 day.

It’s per park at Disneyworld

So the Multi-Pass is still a thing (previous Genie+)
