An exclusive Disney event completely sold out in minutes, leaving thousands of expecting Guests out of the experience.
It is no secret that Walt Disney World has consistently seen its crowds grow exponentially since the Orlando theme park reopened in 2020. Disneyland Paris and Disneyland Resort have seen a similar increase in their attendance, respectively, making the Parks reach high wait times and affecting Guests’ experiences while visiting the Disney Parks.
