Disney really should build a third park in the middle of the country, maybe near San Antonio to avoid snow and tornadoes. The two parks are too overcrowded and the cost for having an enjoyable tie is through the roof. Seems to me greed is the oly thing standing in the way.. A new park would mitigate crowding In the existing parks and bring a whole new sector to the new one.
I agree! They should build another one somewhere near nere or there in Anaheim! The hell is the point of the reservation system if they’re going to do this why even have a reservation system? If it’s to mitigate how many employees they have working when they have to have them all there anyway during this time of year why did they just limit the people they allow in And people just have to book me in advance I just don’t get it. I’m a magic key holder but I haven’t been there since March and I’m going with my daughter the very last two days of the holiday season the fifth and six I figure that may be hopefully there will be not many people there the last few days so we can enjoy somewhat of the holiday season without huge crowds And then hoping that maybe these kids went back to school by then so we’re going to Universal the fourth and Disney the fifth and six wish me luck
I was at Disneyland Sunday Dec 29th with my daughter and grandkids and had a great time. At first glance the security line appeared to be a long wait but with all gates open it was maybe @10 minutes. Inside the park, yes appeared crowded but we expected the crowds. We checked wait times on the app and went to all showing less than 30 minutes. Many of the major attractions have less wait times during the parade, Fantasmic and fireworks show.
My Inspire Pass was blocked and I had to purchase a top tier ticket and a parking pass for the day which is my only negative experience.
There was a time when carnivals were a bit less fixed and a touch more humble. They aimed more to entertain everybody than to do so for a moneyed elite. They regarded visitors all too often as rubes. Fitting enough. Peope have always been content to give up a portion of their wool for the fleecing in exchange for a good show even if that show was only ever smoke and mirrors.
These parks put profit far ahead of the visiting rabble (and one only needs regard their behaviors to know the truth of the term for many that crowd these experiences). Those who go to them and have a less than satisfying experience have none to blame but themselves. As to those who continue to pay for inexcusable policies put in place providing a tiered experience (thus inviting further deterioration) may enjoy matters at the expense of others (and their pocketbook), but it is not to be celebrated. The family experience such as we might have known it is dead to dying as profiteering know-nothings continue to carve out the soul of the theme park experience for the many so the few can glut themselves.
Why complain about the ridiculousness of the holiday scrum? Worse has yet to come, and it will. Those coming in have greed in ample volume, but couldn’t hold a thimbleful of the imagination and vision of those that set matters into motion. Much like many mechanisms in our country, this is riding on autopilot and capitalizing in what was created some time ago.
Many enter these places (all of these parks and many now overtouristed locations) seeking to drink in a healthy dose of magic. Unfortunately, many of us leave all too dehydrated. Overwhelming tides of greed and the devolution of human behavior have left such enchantment in short supply.

Almost happened in Long Beach a long time ago, but got scrapped. OLC picked it up and became Toyko Disney Sea

Tokyo Disneyland/DisneySea is the best Disney park in the world..
Way cheaper to fly to Tokyo and go there instead of Anaheim or swampy Florida.
