Walt Disney envisioned his parks to be a safe wholesome place for parents to bring their children, free from the sordid dangers and lewdness found in carnivals. Clubs of adults always seemed to take away from that magic. And in recent years, its seemed like Disney parks bedame a olace of adult-kids and fetish… almost like the very thing Walt was trying to create a sancturary away from.
You describe Disney-adults as freaks. But the way “normal” people have retreated out of society, staring at phone screens, binging tv shows, etc, the “freaks” like Disney adults and even Furries are now the more socially adjusted people because they are out there meeting new people and socializing in real life.
Having a swarm of MAGA hat wearing right wingers talking about their guns in my park is a lot more dangerous to children around me and the youngsters I’m supervising on my vacation. I don’t enjoy having to deflect questions from a whole 3rd grade class as to why a bunch of grown men are all talking about things that if I said them online would get this comment flagged for abuse.
The parks aren’t your place for political statements.
The parks aren’t your place to control what people do.
You got a problem with the furries? Over 30% of the IT infrastructure workers community is furries. I know because over half the people I work with when I’m doing data center gigs. Are furries.
Volunteering to chaperone Disney trips used to be a cheap fun way to get an expensive trip for less. Going on the schools group account was always good. But now? Hell no. Hard pass. I don’t need to supervise kids in a park full of the exact dangers I see in a carnival of current era. Trump loving gun loving crazy macho testosterone bags.
As someone who just went to Disneyland with his family I can say I’m happy about the restrictions. Lineups we’re insane for quite a few attractions and you can’t find anywhere to watch fantasmic because of people who have been to Disney a hundred times. The park was flooded with regulars and it was kinda annoying because they take up so much room while actual families on vacation are trying to enjoy themselves. I didn’t even think Disneyland should offer seasons passes at all, they’re busy enough
AMEN to that!!!! Just look at the once again terrible decision Disney World just made less than a year ago with their Star Wars Space Hotel……Ha…..didn’t even last 6 months. Continued poor decisions and they pass along their losses $$$$ onto us. Getting rid of the Muppets is another Disney Disaster that are becoming more and more frequent.
And those of us who live in SoCal and have Magic Keys wish that all the mouth-breathing families with their hoards of snot-nosed offspring would stay home and save their money for NASCAR. To each their own.
As a long time pass holder, it’s not just the “Disney gangs” that feel pushed out. I know exactly who this article is referring too. I’ve been a pass holder for years and a Disney adult for years lol. Are some of them obnoxious sometimes? Absolutely but they are harmless and not any more annoying than the relentless crowds and getting squeezed at every turn now. I’m going to be down grading my pass to the lowest one. They just aren’t worth it anymore. Everything is about money, it’s always way too crowded and this year half the park has been under renovation.. I’m actually going later today, so I’ll see what it’s like but it’s just sad because it’s just seemingly like the author is correct, they are pushing out the magic and spontaneity for profit and more bodies in the park and its just not fun anymore.
Oh horrible. Disneyland was created for everyone. I grew up not far from the park. Our parents took the five of us there once. Them our mother took my younger brother and me in pre teen years. I loved Disneyland. Still do. By the time we became teens the five of us were able to go with friends. Not all together.
We would spend our summer’s between Disneyland or Huntington Beach. We didn’t have passes or groups or many problems with people who traveled to visit the park. I’m not ancient, but old enough to be blessed that we grew up in an era that rocked. I would not trade it for anything. We respected the park, their rules and the other guests at the park. I still have a few A-E tickets. Leftover from that era. I sadly have not been to Disneyland in nearly twenty years. Make me sad to see the locals are being pushed out by pricing and policy. The few remarks from non locals were bitter. The park was not built for only you in mind. It was built for all to enjoy. People who want to exclude anyone from enjoying the park. Wether they are local or tourists need an attitude adjustment.
I was a pass holder for over 20 years, raised my son in the park, father and son hanging out almost weekly until he was 18..what’s better than that? Now the pass prices are only for singles or affluent families..very sad

I feel for you and your complaint – it’s real. However, as an annual passholder to Disneyland, I’m grateful you’re not the decision maker.
