I know this is a topic that comes up frequently so I'm curious... How would you feel if the parks implemented an association with your ticket/MB/Pass that controlled the amount of each merch item you could get?

Biggest reason why Disney Parks sippers and popcorn buckets sell out within days is because of resellers jumping back in line multiple times to purchase the max limit.

When I use #NotMyWaltDisneyWorld , this is the sort of thing I'm talking about. Those old enough remember when the parks were a pristine, upkept experience. A single spot of peeling paint would be fixed in less than 24 hours. This is an example of not prioritizing maintenance.

It is kind of mind blowing to me that after all that investment they are choosing closure over lowering prices to make it appeal to a broader range of guests. I’m curious if the full story is it’s not going anywhere and reopening in another way.

Just a reminder that Chapek was not the first to cancel huge plans for a Disney theme park. This is what we could've had at Animal Kingdom before Eisner cancelled Beastly Kingdom in favor of a land with one theater and some meet and greets. I still struggle to get over this one.

When I say DisTwitter is toxic, it's this sort of thing I'm talking about. We all share a common love of Disney but, that doesn't mean we should all agree. In fact, disagreeing can lead to some great conversation. Unfortunately, these days, it leads to this sort of thing.

Rules should be followed whether you like them or not, Universal isn’t violating ADA or HIPAA regulations, CMs aren’t scabs for getting a low hourly wage to stand on a carpet in costume, tech rehearsal is pre-finished product, and all CEOs have made dumb decisions. That is all.
