Yet another reason to not stay at a Disney property. Or to renew passes. Or even visit the park with all of the construction and ride closures going on.
People not using early entry??? I have been to WDW, and also Disneyland recently. In March we went to Disneyland and the line to get in Early was backed up with thousands of folks. And WDW when we went a few years back the early entry wrapped back to the docks by the water. That is not people using the early entry! I remember early entry in 2015 when it was raining, we got to the parks an hour early and it was not so crowded. In 2022, the lines and buses to the parks were again packed, an hour and a half prior to openings. 1 Lightning lane Pass, per a 5 to 10 days stay, is this a joke, someone made up? NOT A PERK! Maybe guests at Disney Hotels 2 per day, or even 3 per day. With the price of folks paying at the Hotels, it costs Disney 0 dollars. Not sure who came up with this idea, but they are not a marketing Genius, maybe they should hire someone with sense!
Not a good look, Disney. For the price people pay for on-site hotels, they deserve way more. How about 3 LL per day? And no, I don’t stay on-site. A bit too rich for my budget, although I’d love to be able to afford it.
$7000 for a week and they are “giving” us 1 LL pass for the entire stay? Not a perk at all, because that will be phased out in a few years because, “it’s not popular and lots of complaints”. We lose more benefits as the prices go up…. Where is the Magic or the Happiest Place vibes? We live in FL and go to the park at least 4-5 times a year, or we did, tired of the greed… Y’all enjoy!
Disney finds new ways to convince people to stay away! I always used my early admission and there were always crowds waiting to get in early. Disney finds new ways to make the experience horrible. Disney is dead to me!
I hope this is a joke. If they start using this concept at disney world, itll be the straw that broke the camels back for me. I use early entry every day of my trip, and there are a ton of us each time. I might would settle for 1 LL per day, but that still wouldnt sit right. It isnt a good trade for emptier photo chances and knocking the 2 biggest rides out of the way with little to no wait. After every vacation, i take the survey and list the early entry as my biggest appreciated perk for staying at disney resorts. I will likely sell my dvc if this happens at disney world. They nickle and dime us too much and take away everything that helps.
Let me make sure I have this correct. The benefit for resort guest was 30 minutes in the morning. Probably would be 1-3 rides per day. Now the new “benefit” will be 1 lightning lane ride per day. So, if you stay five days, the old benefit could be five to fifteen rides per stay. The new benefit is one ride per stay. This appears to be a take away, not an actual perk. Not enough to make me spend much more to stay at a resort hotel instead of across the street.
Comments for BREAKING: Disney To Kill Early Park Admission, Shocking Update on Future Ride Access

” a free Lightning Lane entry to one attraction of your choice during your stay”
How is this a win? You get one not one per day. So if I stay 1 day or 7 days its the same number – 1
You are giving up 30 minutes a day for 1 lighting ride.
Not a win (note I used the extra park night hours)

The money grabbing execs sure know how to screw their customers.

Definitely not worth staying at a Disney hotel anymore. Overpriced, no real benefits.

It’s better to be thought a fool, than to accept this and remove all doubt.
