In addition to bringing back talented musicians and at least an included option equivalent to Fastpass+ for at least the guests staying on property, Walt Disneyworld needs a technological breakthrough that gives parkgoers everything they need to get from their resort to the parks and back, including Minie-van premium option, without carrying a smart phone. Part of the legacy Disney bubble was disconnecting from the outside world for the entire week (or duration of your stay).
I have been coming to Walt Disney World since 1978. At that time, The Magic Kingdom was the only theme park. River County at Fort Wilderness was the only water park. The Contemporary, the Polynesian, and the Fort Wilderness Campground, were the only places to stay on property. All that has changed, and for my money, the changes have been all that Walt Disney could have imagined, and more. With the exception of the pricing for everything. The dream that Walt had of creating a place where a family could go, and it would be clean, friendly, and fun, is now in jeopardy of going the way of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction, that was in the Magic Kingdom.

Wasn’t Josh in charge of Parks for the past five years when prices skyrocketed? Why would he change course after creating the pricing problem?
