Yes it is because it stopped other people from riding the attractions you want special attention go after park hours don’t take other family’s fun away
Douglas, he was broke for a long time. It took years for Amazon to turn a profit. He and his wife kept at it with hard work and perseverance and now enjoy the fruits of what they accomplished. (I do agree with you that he isn’t special; anyone with a good idea and the work ethic to see it through can accomplish what he accomplished, but that’s the beauty of it)
I think this is an excellent example of abusing your wealth and status. Shame on Disney for allowing this kind of behavior. Poor folk have to wait in line for 70 minutes in the heat and son for a 3 minute ride. Not so happy.
@Simone, EVENTUALLY, it’s going to get to a point with the way Cheapek keeps raising the ticket prices, food prices & etc while at the same time lowering the portion sizes of the food & etc & again EVENTUALLY the only people that will be able to afford WDW & it’s different parks are the ultra-rich & upper rich.
You respond to a majority of these replies, supporting a ultra rich, selfish, ass. Who time and again shows himself unworthy of position, or title. Fanboys gonna fan I guess..
I hope that Jeff Bezos taking over Disneyland doesn’t effect the reopening of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and it’s princess makeovers for little girls.
Given thier current direction, in another decade, the Disney parks will be exclusively for people like Bezos. Why deal with the plebs and all of our problems when you can make the same profit catering to the Richie Riches of the world??
As far as I’m concerned. This is not the Disney that Walt Disney intended to be a place where ALL FAMILIES were the same, could dream and have fun. Now it’s become too costly for the common family and becoming too political!!
If he HAD rented the park and then used it for his hard working employees and their families, well, that would have been a story!!! THIS not so much!!!!
Set up a takeover day for the rich. Let them bid on it against each other, and after the company meets the quota or bid reserve give the rest to charity or something to save your reputation.
If the ultra rich want to “takeover” the park they should be able to buy a whole blackout day and not abuse their wealth at the expense of other hard working patrons who paid a much higher percentage of their income to be there. And if they come on a regular day and want my spot in line, they should have to pay ME, not Disney who already took my money.
Absolutely agree! If anyone is getting paid to allow exclusivity to a ride during regular business hours it should be the ones that paid the regular admission and losing time and opportunity to ride.
Those people planned days/months in advance to give their family, usually a once in a lifetime opportunity to only have it reduced by the rich/wealthy.
Disney providing benefits to the rich/famous at the cost of the regular person that had funded and helped build Disney.
Exactly. He didn’t block the day for other people. Though I do like the idea 1 poster had about renting the park for his employees, for a day. That would be nice. I remember when various organization would rent out the park for employees and their families. It was nice. 🙂
That’s disgusting. Disney open everyday of the year. How can they take over a day or even an hour when so many people have saved hundreds to enjoy. Money shouldn’t be a factor at Disney. All equal there
My dad worked for a local aerospace company in OC back in the 90s and they would buy out DL in the evening for employees and their families. Plus DL hasn’t always been open every day of the year. They used to be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays to save money when the park first opened.
How far in advance did this happen?? Was this a complete black out where people who were making reservations knew they could go?He has the money and can spend it how he wants but to screw up things for other people is just being a jerk..
I don’t see anything wrong about him going to Disneyland either. It’s probably good for the ultra wealthy to get out into public and see life outside their daily bubble. He started his business in a garage and drove a used car for like forever, he actually lived like a regular guy for quite some time. I’d have him over to my regular-guy place. The best way to reach people that have gotten a little too distant from real life concerns is for them to hang out with regular folk. Anyhow I think it’s great Jeff’s inner child got out for a little innocent fun.
What gets me is he had bodyguards,and an entourage,while at park. He is anti 2nd amendment. He has bodyguards to protect him…. so Jeff,I have a pistol to protect myself,and family. Went through training,and background checks,but yet you want to take my rights of protection to myself and family. How ironic, you and your type live in a dream world,while people like me live in reality. I have a solution,you take stay in your world,leave the working class to us.
This is why my family has season tickets to Knott’s. Way less expensive, includes the water park for a bit more, and soo much more fun for smaller kids.
Besos is a piece of s__t!! And his smells just like anybody else’s!!! Just once I’d like to have one of these blood sucking bitc_es try to stop me from getting on a ride!!! Bodyguards? Wonder what they do when a trained mma fighter black belt gets in their face? I’m not intimidated by this ahol_ and I sincerely hope I get to cross paths with one of these rich empowered pri_ks because a night in jail would be worth putting them in their place!!!!
U know their legal team bury you in charges and fines and lawsuits. He PAID for a PACKAGE. You and I literally can book the same. Google Disney VIP Package and Disney lays it all out for u.
LO freaking L! His security detail would have you crying tears while flat against the ground after getting gang tackled before you could get within breathing distance of this guy. Trained MMA fighter but must have lost some brains while along the way. Again, LOL!
Jesus, do half of yall know how to read? He didnt take over the park….. He BOUGHT the same VIP experience that you and I can if you want to pay 450 to 850 bucks per hour on top of a ticket.. u can literally google Disney VIP package and Disney lays it out right there for you.
Machine Gun Kelly recently closed down the wave pool at Carowinds in NC/SC bc he can. They literally kicked all those people out of the wave pool and closed it for him and his woman.
Bezos has the money, he paid the Disney price and it added what maybe 3 to 5 mins wait time to que lines? Personally if i ever dropped that kind of money on a trip i sure would take advantage of it. But no guests were turned away or stopped from enjoying their day
It’s disgusting to think anyone with millions can just stop regular hardworking people from enjoying the park. It’s bad enough that Disney charges for a genie pass so now if someone with more money can just stop the ride. He should have to stand on line along with any other human to wait their turn. Not right
This is what socialist elite’s do so get use to it – as the US slides more into a socialist country mandates and rules will be for the rest of us but not for the elites
“Poor folk?!?” Anyone who can pay the admission to go to Disneyland is by no means poor!!
I agree that Jeff Bezos’ is a man with wasaaaay tooooo much money!! Too bad he can’t be more like his ex-wife who is a wonderful example of a true & caring human being that has given away much of her money.
Walt Disney did not build Disney empire for billionaires. This is disgusting. Who cares who he is. Why can’t he stay in long lines like everybody else. He should share his wealth to the poor. God gave him and his wife their fortune to share to less fortunate than squander feel important. I hope you don’t die in your sleep.
I wish I can go to the park to take two girl I adopt I am a widow I am old they work a lot but theyis never enoug money also I have a another he has Asperger’s that the reason I not vote only people Rich 🤑 can do everything while we suffer
He could take care of so many of the world’s problems, yet he’s at Disney, stopping hard working citizens from the visit. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve a vacation, but to do it acting so entitled is disgusting. Pay someone to wait in line for you, then come out VIP room and ride the ride. Pig.
WoW 😲😲😲😲 I have not ever read so much HATE & DISTAIN for someone before like on this thread. How sad for ALL of you people bashing this guy. You DON’T EVEN KNOW HIM PERSONALLY to Rip on him so much and so Badly they ALL OF YOU ON HERE.
He’s having a Great time at Disneyland and so is Lauren. Don’t YOU ALL have a Great time when You’re at Disneyland? I know I do, even when I worked there from 2001-2007 & I have met several Celebrities while walking around the park on my days off and even on my working days. Some were really Great people and others were not so much, but they ALL had one thing in common & that’s that they WANTED TO GO TO DISNEYLAND 🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼Smart people & i bet I know the reason that they wanted to go to Disneyland and it was probably get away from all of this worlds Craziness, because that’s what I Do and I’m just an average, every day kind of girl who loves me some Disney Fun and Fantasy. I hope they All had a really nice and fun time at the Happiest Place on Earth.
I think that’s being very selfish and showing off because Disney is fine just as it is and it doesn’t need some billionaire who had a good time visiting with no people in the park so keep yourself to Amazon along with all the other stuff that you have going on I think you have a full enough Plate Already so let the people having fun have their fun just as it is not getting changed up by another takeover ABC has done a good job so far and I believe Hulu is in on it too so leave it alone. Give them a chance to make their own money because you don’t need to be greedy and even just make more if you want to send me some because I’m broke and I’m a disability. I would love some money that could carry me for a while.
When was the last time any of you people knocking Bezos bought something from Amazon? If no one spent money on the site then he wouldn’t be richer than whatever invisible sky buddy you pray to in the evening. Geez, the whining on here is just insufferable sometimes.
Well…you can’t hate if Jeff B. wants to expirence a little Disney magic. I was there the same days he was there and I did find it odd that the app kept reporting the rides were temporarily shutting down. If I would have known he was going to be there the same time my family was, I would have scheduled for different days. It was a little frustrating to have felt we wasted time especially when it took me two years of slowly saving money for my family to go.
I was there at the same time as Jeff Bezos. I didn’t even notice and I was there from open to close. I bet you most people didn’t notice he was there either so this really wasn’t a big deal.
Comments for Amazon Billionaire Jeff Bezos Takes Over Disney Park
Chris
He went with your guides and security during normal operations hours, that isn’t taking over the park, they do the same for all high profile figures.
Taking over the park would be him renting out the park, which he could afford to do.
You need better writing.
David
Yes it is because it stopped other people from riding the attractions you want special attention go after park hours don’t take other family’s fun away
S
Agreed. I think it’s disgusting and he’s disgusting. An awful human being.
Luckulou
Jealous?
Douglas
He is not any more special than anyone else…. my educated guess is he couldn’t function if he was broke!
Hanneke van der Westen
Totally agree
Nunya
Anyone can do this if you pay for VIP access tour…it’s like 6 hrs and it’s like 2k per day
Luckulou
He was broke in the beginning and now he’s one of the richest people in the world. Your educated guess must have failed the 5th grade.
J
Douglas, he was broke for a long time. It took years for Amazon to turn a profit. He and his wife kept at it with hard work and perseverance and now enjoy the fruits of what they accomplished. (I do agree with you that he isn’t special; anyone with a good idea and the work ethic to see it through can accomplish what he accomplished, but that’s the beauty of it)
CJ
Educated guess? He went from nothing to the richest man in the world. Meanwhile you’re doing what?
Jason
Is this what this garbage site thinks is newsworthy these days?
James Heglen
It’s purely economics, he’s got the money the others don’t. I’m sure he paid the dues.
Simone

Invent something and give 1.6 million people a job, then you too can do this.

How lonely it is to ride every ride alone by yourself. Who wants this type of life? Would be easier to just blend.
Chas
As far as I’m concerned. This is not the Disney that Walt Disney intended to be a place where ALL FAMILIES were the same, could dream and have fun. Now it’s become too costly for the common family and becoming too political!!
Travis Weberling
@Stacy, it’s no different than the Ultra-rich & the upper 1% who are going on those “space missions”.
David Keller
Love it. Just think if other powerful and had a park to go to.
Instead of doing what they otherwise do.
Maybe he/they will build a bigger better park someday!
Nancy Thorsby
If he HAD rented the park and then used it for his hard working employees and their families, well, that would have been a story!!! THIS not so much!!!!

Disneyland should allow celebrity week and only for 1 week. Different weeks at different parks.
Lynn
If the ultra rich want to “takeover” the park they should be able to buy a whole blackout day and not abuse their wealth at the expense of other hard working patrons who paid a much higher percentage of their income to be there.

Disney has become disgusting. It’s so stupidly busy that it’s not even fun. And therein lies part of the reason…they block off the park for celebs.

Not renting the whole place and letting others enjoy their day makes him a super awesome human being!
