Disney has decided the parks are no longer for families. Now they add stress financially and are like a college trying to gouge you for all your worth.
One of many things that are getting expensive! Hurray! Disney, I beg you. Do NOT raise ticket prices any more. It will just give you less and less yearly visitors for obvious reasons.
@marshalmarrs3269 I think he should have given the company to the Imagineers (like Bob of Bob's Red Mill did with his company). They're the people who put their hearts and souls into the parks, they genuinely love what Walt was creating.
@marshalmarrs3269 they really should have kept the Touchstone label as a way to separate what audiences they're aiming for. I don't understand why these people can't grasp the concept of making different movies for different ages instead of making everything a bland PG-13. I get that a broad appeal usually means more $ to them, but it's certainly not working anymore.
Additionally, it does not surprise me that the Disney parks have done very little aside from selling merchandise in terms of celebrating their own 100th anniversary as a whole since WDW’s 50th, a whole 18 month celebration, was treated very similarly.
Funnily enough in the band I play in one random person realised it’s Disney’s 100th and we play Disney medley II. Nobody else had realised that (that was last summer), including me that usually loosely follows that stuff. First sign I saw was the 100 on the Disney+ application.
I hated quite a bit on our Disney world vacation. It was too stressful with my spouse and 3 children. About 20% of our trip was the magic we expected. 80% was stressing about making reservations we made 2 months in advance, burning up under the 100 + temps, dealing with moody children, worrying about astronomical prices on the smallest thing, and the crap of genie +.
This was a similar experience with my family, which happened a few days ago at the time of this comment. We went to Disney-world. I’m the oldest of three, so a family of five. (Two parks Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios) And I wish I had as much fun as I did when I was younger (I think I was 7 first time I went, we went to Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom) Going my second time as a family of five. (Tho I would like to mention my brother was free last time, and my Grandparents were present with us, but my parents paid for their own tickets/experience and ofc their children’s. ) I thought it’s because I’m older and can notice more when my parents are stressed and are not enjoying themselves. It seems that part of it is the parks and their raised prices, plus the rides kept breaking down, we were able to ride most of the rides we wanted too, but it was very stressful waiting for them. We went on the Tron Ride at Magic Kingdom but we had to wait until 4:55pm to ride it because of the virtual queue, and an extra 30 in the line, but ended up waiting 48-50 more because we had to wait in line until they fixed the ride. It was more stressful and harder to enjoy. My dad legit said going to Disney is probably one of his worst nightmares now, and he was someone who grew up going to Disneyland a lot since he lived around their. So it’s sad to see everything with Disney going downhill, especially since I had a better time when I was 7 than now. I do hope that I will get to go to Disneyland at least once (preferably around October-December to experience The Nightmare before Christmas Haunted Mansion Transformation because it’s my childhood dream) and go back to Disney-world at least one more time to go to Epcot.
Same with my family. My parents usually don’t care about the quality of their experiences (they liked Star Wars 9 if that adds any context). Anyways, even they noticed how crappy Disney parks have gotten. I specifically remember my mom commenting on how Peter Pan’d flight adventure has been getting worse and worse over the years.
My question is why did you go? It's been known for a few years that Disney World is not a great place to spend vacation. Not everything is about Disney. Try Universal, Busch Gardens, Knotts Berry Farm, etc. There's a whole other world out there other than the evil Mouse.
I'm glad you're bringing this up, because this is probably what's going to sink the company. As bad as some of their movies have been, until fairly recently they could always use the parks to bankroll more. I swear it's like Iger and his people legitimately hate the company they run; they hate, or least cannot comprehend, Walt's ideas for making clean, safe, attractive theme parks for people of all walks of life, but especially families. Current Disney hates the middle class, they don't care about average people, especially people trying to budget for a vacation. And they're too greedy to realize that the rich whales they're going for don't even need Disney (or at least not the American parks anyway, they'll go on the cruises or to Tokyo or Paris).
One big problem I have with the current state of not just Disney Parks, but most Theme Parks in general outside of economical reasons is how a lot of attractions and themed areas are very 'in your face', not giving you time for a breather. The older Themed Attractions or areas still have great theming, but it felt appropriate and more natural, properly immersing you. They felt like they'd actually exist somewhere while modern rides and areas feel more like "Look at me, im a shiny new ride with groundbreaking technology", "Over here guys, look at this cool stuff you can purchase!" The older stuff felt like they'd take their time with a steady pace and in the rides narrative and theming whilst not being boring. Incredibly enjoyable yet charming. Theres just no charm in theme parks anymore... The less said about current Epcot, the better... they did the Wonders of Live Pavilaion and Journey into Imagination dirty. Epcot should've remained IP free personally. At least we still have Spaceship Earth.
@@QueSeraSeraaaaI Hear Asterix is a very good park. The theming does look very goofy and whimsical, in a good way! Might give it a go if I can in the future. Back onto Disney, the new video they released of The Adventureland Treehouse completely exceeded my expectations. I did comment on the video so you'll probably find it, but in short I believe this looks like their best attraction they've made ever since Expedition Everest. It has something all of their new areas and rides (no matter how advanced) don't have, Charm and it not being in your face. I've always believed Theming needs that charm to it to fully work. You don't need revolutionary technology or an IP to make a good ride. Sometimes it's the more simpler and unique things that leave better impressions on you. I hope to see more projects like the Adventureland Treehouse in the near future!
That's the issue. Iger would never want people like him making things better. I say Disney needs to be investigated by the SEC. No matter how bad things are going, their stock remains stronger than ever. It makes no sense at all. The SEC needs to follow the money and audit Iger to the last penny. I would have dumped ALL my Disney stock if I had any to begin with. My advisor has never recommended it. That says something about their shady-as-hell management.
I went to Disneyland this November and I agree with all you said, but would excuse the Runaway Railway. Hearing about how "virtual" it was at first definately put me off and I didn't expect anything classic or goood, but I was suprised. Yes, there were quite a few screens, but also animatronics that moved eerily well, props made to look drawn for a cartoon, and a good mix between the older dark rides and newer effects.
I'm not gonna lie, this is the first time someone's appearence perfectly matched what I thought based on voice and previously mentioned details about their herritage. To be fair, I based this mental image on the one half-Hawaiian person I know from college That aside, I've never gone to DL but seeing it overrun by the frequently memed on "Disney Adults" has made me steer away from the thought of going
The fact that Tokyo's new Space Mountain is more Epcot than Cosmic Rewind... just shows the huge difference between management between the American and Japanese parks. We still have free fastpass (though it's called 40th anniversary pass), Splash Mountain, and classic vintage dark rides that have never been touched or updated (unlike the American counterparts). Also, the merch problem is the exact opposite in Tokyo. There's just a few shops and you can pretty much just buy most of the merch sold in them from the shop right outside the park (except for some exclusive items). The newer additions seem really promising too. Fantasy Springs and the Space Mountain rebuild look amazing so far (except that new hotel; looks pretty eh so far)
What’s a Disney attraction anyone still misses? I miss The Great Movie Ride and I’m glad I got the chance to ride it a decade ago along with the Backlot Studio Tour. I just feel sad my niece and nephews never got the chance to ride it when they vacationed at Walt Disney World.
Tower of Terror in California Adventure. I haven't been to the parks so haven't gone on the Guardians ride, but damn, Tower of Terror fit right into the old Hollywood theme of the part of the park it's in.
One of my issues with the parks is that I feel some level of stress because I have to wake up early and tackle my favorite roller coaster first thing and then i have to find rides and look at their wait times.
Question: when "Wish" drops, are you gonna do a review? It'd be cool to do it after seeing the film, bts clips they dropped, and the concepts and notes in the art book.
To be fair, with the brief firing of James Gunn and Covid, story details of Cosmic Rewind had to constantly be reworked as they originally wanted to feature audio animatronics of Rocket and Groot. What we got is what is assumed to take place sometime after the first film and before the second based off of context clues.
My family is very poor, the last time I was able to go on vacation was 10 years ago. But luckily when my grandparents were still alive they paid for us to go to Disneyland back in 2009 and I am so grateful for that experience. It was really wonderful and magical for little 9 year old me, and those memories are definitely some of my fondest. I always think how lucky I am that I got to go to the parks back when I did because ever since the things I hear about it just get worse and worse. I used to think I wanted to take my husband and kid to Disney someday because of how fun I remember it being, but I couldn’t afford it even in my wildest dreams. Too many dang fees just to be able to get a kind of decent experience out of the whole thing
I can't get over the fact that a young woman was crushed to death after the stage rotated. Search the story of Debbie Stone, she was 18 in the 70's.. I think it was not only a terrible event, but Disney was uncaring on the issue.. Not to mention they used real bones in an attraction years later, way to respect the dead! Those weren't the bones of Debbie, but random people that died, perhaps years ago.
I just want to experience the attractions that have their own original IPs not based on any existing ones. Those modern replacements are usually downgraded and less impressive than the original ones before.
the company also made very strict clothing rules for Disneyland, they just have a lot of extremely unnecessarily strict rules now that you'll be lucky if you can even get in, if you live in the area, can't get in that day? no big deal, but for outsiders, like me in Canada, if I can't get in cause of the strict rules, then Disney just wasted someone's thousands of dollars that they saved up for this trip, wasting their plane ticket and now have to use it up sooner to go home, they wasted time saving money for entrance fees and rides and merchandise, now they'll resort to virtual Disneyland experiences and watching the rides and attractions on TH-cam and even buying Disneyland merch being sold on Amazon and Ebay, they're never gonna wanna go back to the park for reals, I never tried nor been to it ever and now I'm not so sure if it's worth it
If Disney got rid of any line cutting passes, things would actually be better. Defunctland did a whole video talking about the line system at the parks and getting rid of the line cutting passes seemed to be the best solution.
and add these reasons to why as an adult I no longer wanna go to Disneyland for the first time in my life and prefer Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza Plex from Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach
probably my first video where I get to see your face, and you look what I imagined you'd look like hahaha. its a compliment, like watching your videos and seeing your take on the Disney subject matters.
With the rise of the Spider-verse franchise, can you please do a review of all the rest of Sony animation films? I also think we need to break down Disney sidekicks through their importance and their past and modern times.
Omg I watch your videos so often and now seeing the face behind the voice is so strange, it's so weird when you only had a voice and suddenly you see the face to the voice that you heard so often :o
I’m a Disney World passholder but I’m also a busch gardens , seaworld, and Hershey park passholder. Disney is special to me and always will be but the energy in Disney from once in a lifetime guests is just sad just fighting and angry because it’s so expensive. The smaller parks are starting to offer better or equal experiences for cheaper
It just seems like disney wants to add shops literally everywhere and everything is the same merchandise when I went last may was just disappointing. It also just seems like they are cheapening out on new attraction aside from guardians alot of the new attractions are lackluster and it just seems like Disney now prefer to virtue signal with how splash left, I still hate so much how they made tiana political. They could have made a brand new tiana ride without costing both of the splash mountains and everybody would have loved her ride without being so divisive.
Me and my family went to disneyland back in march and we're planning to go again next year. My parents told me however that were likely not gonna go back after that trip because of how expensive the parks currently are and looking at the prices, i honestly dont blame them. I also don't like how ip driven the rides have become, especially with how cheap pixar pier and avengers campus is compared to cars land and galaxy's edge (which i did genuinely enjoy even though it was based off the sequels). My point is that disney shouldnt be pricing so much money on their parks, especially with how cheap theyre becoming since the average consumer right now clearly isnt keeping up with the prices
Their issues aren't financial. It's morals, Judeo-Christian traditional "nuclear" family values. You can create good experiences if you're nor moral. It's why all their shows and movies are terrible. But it's not even because they can't, it's because they refuse to promote the morals. You can't write a good character or story, if you don't have any moral character yourself. Plus the higher prices keep out the "riff-raff" as they see it.
I have been going to both Disneyland and Disney World since 2003 with friends and family almost every year, and while I miss chasing paper fast passes, Genie+ turned me into a Disney park superhuman. It cost a bit extra, but allowed us to be incredibly efficient. I can see why passholders who go regularly hate it, but for us who only go once a year, that extra expenditure allows us to do everything. Big improvement over the non-existent pre-trip fast pass reservations. However, I am disappointed in the direction of adding cheap lands/rides and throwing IP everywhere instead of new, park-exclusive experiences.
You could do everything when Fast Pass was free and even before Fast Pass. After Fast Pass, the ride for what was Splash Mountain jumped to a 4 hour wait for the regular line.
@@lainiwakura1776 I don't disagree with you! There are videos that I've watched that provide data that fast passes in general make waits increase overall, and without them, there wouldn't be massive lines (see Universal's system). However, the previous Disney Fast Pass system was book 90 days in advance if you're staying on property or 60 days if not, which basically bullies you to staying on property because any decent Fast Pass is gone by the time the 60-day window opens, which means you basically get either no passes or worthless ones. My statement is that I'd rather pay up a bit for my once a year trip to be able to make sure we can do what we want and have a great day, and the Genie+ system gets so much hate but does allow us to do so.
I wish they wouldnt advertise the parks here in Australia. Saw one in the cinema. Feels unfair for all the kids who would see that and really want to go, but its an unrealistic family holiday because of the expense. We have no Disney parks in Australia. Youd have to go overseas. Maybe I'm just bitter because my family could never afford to go. But I think of all the families who see these ads and have their kids ask them to go and the disappointment that they cant. Especially since its gotten a lot pricier.
It has always been my dream to go to a Disney land park but still have not had a chance to go and I’m almost 30 😢 I dreamt and wished it will come true today and now the way that Disney is I’m just not sure anymore cuz so much has changed :/
Not only has Disney destroyed the magic, but park history as well. Song of the South Splash Mountain? GONE! Jungle Cruise? Politically Modernized! River Country? Torn down and abandoned once again. California Adventure? No longer matches it’s name sake. I’d say more, but-😢
I sure am lucky to have Autism. Now my family or whoever goes to any American park with me can skip looooong wait times for free! Thanks to the handy-dandy Disability Access Pass. Anyway, yeah. Disney should go back to its former ride maintenance schedule so they rarely break down. I swear, my 2022 WDW trip was so lucky I only had to deal with 1 breakdown, which was at the end of Mickey & Minnie’s RR.
Your channel is a perfect Disney based one - you should work for Disney and would make it far better. Can you do a video on Meg from Hercules? Or one on Mother Gothel?
Walt Disney was one of the rarest birds on the planet, a CEO who actually has vision. Isner is just a regular 2000's CEO. Everything he tries takes away from Disney's vision (i.e. only rich kids can enjoy Isner's Disneyland).
Funny Disney parks observation. Most rides that are added are replacements (so t hey don't add capacity). Even worst most have very low throughput like 7 Dwarfs or Tron. Of course there is no value in high capacity rides for Disney as the only reasons these rides are there are for selling upcharged front in line tickets. In other words, Disney doesn't give a crap about the customer experience. Telling Disney what they are doing wrong doesn't help because they don't see that in their income. Looking at that they are doing fine as people will still come and over pay for mediocre and bad experiences. They only thing they react on is when their parks lose money, then they have to rethink their strategie. Until then, if you still go and pay Disney, you've lost the right to complain as you are the main problem.
Honestly, I kind of agree. As much as I love Disney it seems like they are raising prices but given nothing to show for it. Also, most people like to be in the moment like a date with a lover, nobody wants the other person to look at the phone while on a date. Also, I honestly get why people get stressed out and it seems like Disney nowadays are encouraging stress instead of being a stress reliever. A vacation to a Disney park isn’t supposed to be stressful it has to be stress free. Honestly, I could also say the same thing about the Disney owned movies or shows. Usually Disney owned products make good entertaining stories and now they make a cheep unrealistic remake of a classic, products that are more about the cover then the actual story, or a story about a powerful woman and a weak sad pathetic man for just because. Anyways, yeah as much as I love Disney, I think it could be more in the moment with the family then looking at the phone with a lot of stressful reminders about the life and bookings. And for the movies and shows it could be better if they focus more on creating an entertaining story to share then actually doing what they are doing recently.
Hey could you say that pixar shoudl have live actoin cgi hybrds that does not have has the hybrd of animaton and live actoin for the whole movei and is not like walle with a cgi male charicter that starts with t

With the rise of the Spider-verse franchise, can you please do a review of all the rest of Sony animation films? I also think we need to break down Disney sidekicks through their importance and their past and modern times.
Omg I watch your videos so often and now seeing the face behind the voice is so strange, it's so weird when you only had a voice and suddenly you see the face to the voice that you heard so often :o
I’m a Disney World passholder but I’m also a busch gardens , seaworld, and Hershey park passholder. Disney is special to me and always will be but the energy in Disney from once in a lifetime guests is just sad just fighting and angry because it’s so expensive. The smaller parks are starting to offer better or equal experiences for cheaper
It just seems like disney wants to add shops literally everywhere and everything is the same merchandise when I went last may was just disappointing.
It also just seems like they are cheapening out on new attraction aside from guardians alot of the new attractions are lackluster
and it just seems like Disney now prefer to virtue signal with how splash left, I still hate so much how they made tiana political.
They could have made a brand new tiana ride without costing both of the splash mountains and everybody would have loved her ride without being so divisive.
Why the Halloween decorations always look the same, every year
Me and my family went to disneyland back in march and we're planning to go again next year. My parents told me however that were likely not gonna go back after that trip because of how expensive the parks currently are and looking at the prices, i honestly dont blame them. I also don't like how ip driven the rides have become, especially with how cheap pixar pier and avengers campus is compared to cars land and galaxy's edge (which i did genuinely enjoy even though it was based off the sequels). My point is that disney shouldnt be pricing so much money on their parks, especially with how cheap theyre becoming since the average consumer right now clearly isnt keeping up with the prices
This channel is hella underrated also 500th like haha.
Their issues aren't financial. It's morals, Judeo-Christian traditional "nuclear" family values. You can create good experiences if you're nor moral. It's why all their shows and movies are terrible. But it's not even because they can't, it's because they refuse to promote the morals. You can't write a good character or story, if you don't have any moral character yourself. Plus the higher prices keep out the "riff-raff" as they see it.
Religion is a cancer on the world.
I have been going to both Disneyland and Disney World since 2003 with friends and family almost every year, and while I miss chasing paper fast passes, Genie+ turned me into a Disney park superhuman. It cost a bit extra, but allowed us to be incredibly efficient. I can see why passholders who go regularly hate it, but for us who only go once a year, that extra expenditure allows us to do everything. Big improvement over the non-existent pre-trip fast pass reservations. However, I am disappointed in the direction of adding cheap lands/rides and throwing IP everywhere instead of new, park-exclusive experiences.
You could do everything when Fast Pass was free and even before Fast Pass. After Fast Pass, the ride for what was Splash Mountain jumped to a 4 hour wait for the regular line.
@@lainiwakura1776 I don't disagree with you! There are videos that I've watched that provide data that fast passes in general make waits increase overall, and without them, there wouldn't be massive lines (see Universal's system). However, the previous Disney Fast Pass system was book 90 days in advance if you're staying on property or 60 days if not, which basically bullies you to staying on property because any decent Fast Pass is gone by the time the 60-day window opens, which means you basically get either no passes or worthless ones. My statement is that I'd rather pay up a bit for my once a year trip to be able to make sure we can do what we want and have a great day, and the Genie+ system gets so much hate but does allow us to do so.
Omg new video 😮
I’m very interested about your take on this.
I wish they wouldnt advertise the parks here in Australia. Saw one in the cinema. Feels unfair for all the kids who would see that and really want to go, but its an unrealistic family holiday because of the expense. We have no Disney parks in Australia. Youd have to go overseas. Maybe I'm just bitter because my family could never afford to go. But I think of all the families who see these ads and have their kids ask them to go and the disappointment that they cant. Especially since its gotten a lot pricier.
Ok face reveal 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I don't know what I he'd look like but anyways he's cute
I thought he'd wear glasses though
Universal > Disney
It has always been my dream to go to a Disney land park but still have not had a chance to go and I’m almost 30 😢 I dreamt and wished it will come true today and now the way that Disney is I’m just not sure anymore cuz so much has changed :/
Not only has Disney destroyed the magic, but park history as well. Song of the South Splash Mountain? GONE! Jungle Cruise? Politically Modernized! River Country? Torn down and abandoned once again. California Adventure? No longer matches it’s name sake. I’d say more, but-😢
What do you mean politically modernize? Haven’t been to MK in a while.
Well River Country was just standing there and falling apart. What else do you expect?
Fantastic
I sure am lucky to have Autism. Now my family or whoever goes to any American park with me can skip looooong wait times for free! Thanks to the handy-dandy Disability Access Pass.
Anyway, yeah. Disney should go back to its former ride maintenance schedule so they rarely break down. I swear, my 2022 WDW trip was so lucky I only had to deal with 1 breakdown, which was at the end of Mickey & Minnie’s RR.

@@AnakinSkywalker_1858 huh?
Your channel is a perfect Disney based one - you should work for Disney and would make it far better.
Can you do a video on Meg from Hercules? Or one on Mother Gothel?
A Mary Poppins attraction was cancelled? Let me guess... too many white people in it?!
Don't be a racist dumpster fire. It doesn't suit you
LL should be same as knott or as universal. LL is the operation as the old fast past tics. Smh. It should not be that way.
Walt Disney was one of the rarest birds on the planet, a CEO who actually has vision. Isner is just a regular 2000's CEO. Everything he tries takes away from Disney's vision (i.e. only rich kids can enjoy Isner's Disneyland).
Water thing looks OK not best but ok
Thank u 4 showing that famous black fight lol so sick ppl showing that when they speak on fighting lol at Disneyland smh
Funny Disney parks observation. Most rides that are added are replacements (so t hey don't add capacity). Even worst most have very low throughput like 7 Dwarfs or Tron. Of course there is no value in high capacity rides for Disney as the only reasons these rides are there are for selling upcharged front in line tickets. In other words, Disney doesn't give a crap about the customer experience. Telling Disney what they are doing wrong doesn't help because they don't see that in their income. Looking at that they are doing fine as people will still come and over pay for mediocre and bad experiences. They only thing they react on is when their parks lose money, then they have to rethink their strategie. Until then, if you still go and pay Disney, you've lost the right to complain as you are the main problem.
Honestly, I kind of agree. As much as I love Disney it seems like they are raising prices but given nothing to show for it. Also, most people like to be in the moment like a date with a lover, nobody wants the other person to look at the phone while on a date. Also, I honestly get why people get stressed out and it seems like Disney nowadays are encouraging stress instead of being a stress reliever. A vacation to a Disney park isn’t supposed to be stressful it has to be stress free. Honestly, I could also say the same thing about the Disney owned movies or shows. Usually Disney owned products make good entertaining stories and now they make a cheep unrealistic remake of a classic, products that are more about the cover then the actual story, or a story about a powerful woman and a weak sad pathetic man for just because. Anyways, yeah as much as I love Disney, I think it could be more in the moment with the family then looking at the phone with a lot of stressful reminders about the life and bookings. And for the movies and shows it could be better if they focus more on creating an entertaining story to share then actually doing what they are doing recently.
Let’s go
