    Most of the comments here fail to understand the concept of supply and demand. When demand is high, and/or when supply is low, prices go up. People complain that it’s too crowded and too pricey, without taking the time to realize that the main tool Disney has available to control crowd size is to increase prices, and that lowering pricing would increase demand and therefore increase crowds. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

    As for all the threats in this article to discontinue long-time pass purchases—the continued crowds and pricing prove that demand continues to boom, so the cancellations are meaningless. (And I suspect they aren’t even happening—with things like this, most people make a lot of talk but won’t carry through.).

    As the old Yogi Berra quote goes, “No one goes there any more—it’s too crowded.”

    Disney has apparently figured out that they can do whatever they want to increase profits and, though some fans leave, others fill their places. If the parks are too crowded, then they must do something to remedy that, and increasing prices or eliminating Annual Passes is a solution. I wish I could pay less and have the park uncrowded when I go, but we have to be real. There are plenty of free things to do in this world….beaches, hikes….but we all want out fantasy world and, since it is just that, we expect to pay fantasy prices. Don’t complain: just realize you don’t love it enough to pay the prices and endure the crowds.

    I agree with Bill. Disney has apparently figured out that they can do whatever they want to increase profits and, though some fans leave, others fill their places.

    Unfortunately, I agree with the points made in the article. It is hard to admit, but I feel like some of magic is gone forever.

    Disney and other woke companies deserve this. Disney’s programming and parks are getting ultra repulsive with their back bending nonsense. I am canceling Disney plus and ESPN plus today. I should have done 2 years back. Wasted my time and money thinking they will change.

    The issues outlined are reflective of other theme parks: for example an express pass to skip the lines at Universal Studios can cost over 250 USD for just one day on a Saturday and this is apart from the entry ticket. Truly, the theme park experience is nice but you need to decide if that’s what you want to spend your money on or you can mix things up and vary your recreation choices. If you go, just enjoy yourself. If not, don’t be dramatic about it and do something else.
