    Sounds like what they really need are more capacity restrictions. Stop letting too many people into the park. 😆😂
    Like that will ever happen. It’s all about the 💲💲💲

    People need to realize this money is not refundable due to travel plans changing or illnesses. This can get very costly to lose this money if you have to change plans!!!

    I miss the traditional FastPass option (the paper ones from those kiosks…) Wish they had left it alone! If they really wanted to get more tech savvy with it, then they should’ve stuck with the old FastPass+ via the Disneyland/DisneyWorld app on your phone!

    “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…” 🙄

      100% agree. Lightening lanes should not exist. They showcase the affluent. I once heard a kid say to his dad…”look at all the poor people who have to wait it that long line!” That’s just wrong

    We canceled our annual trip to WDW this year and went to Universal. First time in 15 years. It was wonderful. Will do it again next year.

    Honestly this is because most of the parks have major construction going on. Side effect is that volume goes to the other rides. This makes it seem like Multipass is a necessity. Wait until 2027 and it will all go back to normal.

    At this point, if you’re able to go on a weeknight, the After Hours events are cheaper than Lightning Lane! Plus you get snacks included for 3 hours, haha. Those events include the E-Ticket rides that have the long waits and expensive LL Pass prices, so this really has me considering the MK event. Heck, even a night at an off-site hotel plus the event tix (x4) is less than LL tix for the family! It may only be a few hours of quick waits, but LL waits can be 15min, too.
