I love you guys, but you're overlooking a key point. With the ratios for Lightning Lane (Premier and Multipass now) it increases the wait time for the regular standard line and hurts anyone who isn't able or willing to shell out the extra money. We get it, Disney is a company out to make money... but they're cutting their own throats with the "More out of less customers" attitude. They should be doing things to bring the magic back for everyone. Instead of yet another DVC resort, add another Value resort. Its been 12 years since Art of Animation opened, and while its considered a Value its priced closer to the Moderates.
This is the problem for me. I watch a few bloggers and one of them said he saw a noticeable difference in availability for lighting lanes- and that was before they opened it up to all hotel guests. What will happen when they start increasing the number of passes they sell each day.
Exactly. Not only that, but there is also the real possibility that the premier pass could eventually lead to congestion in the lightning lanes just like Fastpass+ did
I love Disney, but the ridiculous expenses and amount of planning/forethought that you need to put into any vacation there is completely off-putting. This is clearly another mousey money grab at the expense of regular park attendees - part of me can see the allure because it's less to schedule down to the minute, but the price and impact on regular park attendees makes it a no for me.
I’m sorry, this is an optimistic view to attempt not being negative on this ludicrous offer. The cost vs benefit is not worth it really. Include the tickets, or meals as a combo without additional cost. Otherwise, I pass. Ultimately everything is getting costly and out pricing the average customer.
Yeah, but on the bright side, they can only raise their prices so much before eventually they'll have to drop them back down. But in order for that to happen, the parks across the whole board would have to see a dramatic drop in attendance for the entire year as a whole, not just 1 or 2 times of the year. And to be honest, I can't see that happening anytime soon
@jackwilkinson4911 I agree. I don't think the attendance will ever fall dramatically enough for Disney to lower prices. The extra money they collect from these premier LL sales will offset that. This is what Disney wants, elite customers willing to pay exorbitant prices and they will get it. For now.
DFB! Please, please address the effect this has on standby guests, who are ALREADY paying the exorbitant daily park rates. If Premier pass was a stand alone, truly limited offering, stand by queues would continue to move. But by expanding Premier pass, and keeping “mid-level” multi-pass available, it’s becoming unbearable for ‘regular’ guests to watch 15-20 LL guests allowed in for every 1 stand by guest
I came from the days of free Fast Pass and I have never and will never pay to skip the line. I'd rather extend my vacation then do that. It may be cheaper in the long run.
Unless you are visiting around the holidays, its pretty easy to do every good ride in a day without any lightning lanes. Everyone is mad about the affordability of something they don't even need...
Let’s stop kidding ourselves. This pass is designed for wealthy guests. Plain and simple. Disney is trying to make up for losses at the Box Office. You can have a Great Disney trip and control your costs. Universal is smaller than Disney but has been More Competitive since launching the Harry Potter attractions.
But they are Not including the Express Pass with the newer hotels. 😏 Face it, Universal offers what it does because they've Never had anywhere near the attendance that Disney has on a slow day. So they offer what they do to draw customers. As soon as they think their numbers are going to be good with Epic no extras are being offered. They are corporations whose product is entertainment. They both offer what is needed to make their shareholders happy Not their customers.
AJ you're not getting why so many of us are pissed off at Disney! You pay an admission fee to get into Disney with the expectation you will wait in lines and go on a ride. So now Disney charges you more money to go ahead of people who have been waiting a shorter time than you for that ride. Think about this for a minute. Is that a good example of greed? Don't be telling me how magical the place is!
@@jackwilkinson4911the people criticizing ARE disabled- inducing me. Let’s not assume the reason for someone’s gripe especially when it’s in defense of disability rights… I hate white knighting online but this is an issue we need EVERYONE to care about and be loud about. It’s the only way we can get change.
I wasn't subscribed to you guys but always got your videos in my recommended feed.. then I guess I didn't notice it anymore but stopped getting you recommended. Just remembered you all exist and I gotta say, I miss AJ's voice! A calming and expressive tone that makes even the most distasteful Disney news seem palatable :P
It would be more honest to just raise the park price by $500. I bet if I asked my family their preference they would opt for a trip to Europe - and skip Disney Paris - for the same amount of money.
Of ALL the things Disney has done to detract from “value,” this has annoyed me the most. Even if you want to spend the money the “value” is minimal!!! Come on Disney, at least let the people who purchase this ride rides multiple times!!
Epic Universe is going to hopefully smack some humility into, and awaken the real imagination Disney is known for. Time to come back down to Earth Disney!!!
As an annual pass holder i can say this. If your Disney trip is once every ten years……sure go for it. If you go every once in a while then no way. If it’s a trip where all the stars aligned then……maybe
having done express at Universal during Horror Nights it was $450 a person, while it felt insane to pay, it was the only way to do everything that day as we only had 1 day to do it. Thus I'm not shocked Disney does it too.
Halloween Horror Nights is an exception, it’s a specific time of year and not everyone is interested in it. I’m with you, it’s worth it because the crowds have become horrible. But for a regular Disney trip, imo it’s not nice and it’s stinky
I’m not big on riding rides, there’s only a few rides I really want to do so the premier pass definitely isn’t for me. But I can see the value of it, and there are people it will be worth it for.
Being dvc members, we do buy buy annual pass, usually go in the morning, head back to hotel around 12-1 area then back to parks around 6. Any rides we want to do, we do in the morning, miss the heat of the day, have lunch at hotel- we usually get a 1 or 2 bedroom so we have a kitchen, then head back for evening, firework shows at MK and Epcot are not that good, excellent time for rides.
Sooo...Disney Adults here- my adult daughter & I visit WDW once a year. LY we used multipass for the 1st time and we're less than excited (trying to schedule rides etc was not magical) we will definitely be choosing this premiere option for our MK day and eliminating some of our budget in other places....
No chance, a total rip off with only allowing one go per ride. Disney are only interested in making maximum profit from guests, they don't care anymore, it is all about the greenback!!!! We started visiting Florida back in 1999, going every couple of years as it is quite expensive coming from the UK. Next year will be the first time we are not visiting Disney, we were disgusted with the prices rises last year when parking went up overnight by $5. By sticking to Universal and Seaworld parks we are saving over £500 for a family of 4 compared to Disney tickets. Unless Disney change we will not be going back.
Nope. I try to make the pilgrimage to Disney World every 5-7 years but there is no way I would pay for that especially with how premier pass is set up. Premier Pass at this point is just the new standby line. At Universal it really feels like a premium skip the line. Sure 1-2 rides (before epic universe) are not included but that is still more encompassing for 75% off.
I definitely would, if this was SINCERELY a once in a lifetime trip. Then, and only then would I consider it worth it. Other than that, just go on the "must dos" either right at rope drop, or right before park closing, on a Wednesday in the off season. 😉
I have not beento Disney in the last 3 years. I was hoping they would go back to when they catered to all resort guests, made it special to stay on property with so many FREE perks. Then they started moving those perks towards nothing short of how can they capitalize profits from them. I so want Disney to be the park it use to be. I still say the old fastpass+ which was free with limited amount of passes was the best. If you stayed on property, you could select the rides 60 days in advance. Pre plan some of the trip so when you got there, you could focus on family and ecperiences instead of burring your head in a smart phone micro managing your vacation. Disney seems to want to be for the Elite kind of park. The opposite of Walts Dream. Just saying. If Disney ever returns to a place for all instead of elite tiers, I may return. Not that Disney seems to care at this point. Even the cast members are different these days it seems. Not the cast memberws of the past for sure. They were something special in my opinion. They are far less outgoing and with a lot less Disney magic. Please Disney, Bring back treating all guests special as you use to, instead of the complicated experience you have created, all in the interest in profits. Your focus is clear.
How does this pass work with a party that has kids under 3. Say two adults, a 7 year old, 2 year old, and newborn? Will the two kids still be included?
Unfortunately theme park lightning lanes have to be unaffordable for the mass majority. If it's cheap enough for everyone to get one then the lightning lane just becomes the same as the regular que. It's unfortunate but true
Great analysis, thank you! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
I can't believe Disney can't get this right. You cannot have an affordable skip the line option because everyone will sign up for it and that will end up defeating it's purpose. The only way for this work is if it's expensive. So 2 tiers: Premier, that's a good start then the 2nd option is the price of a ticket with maybe time restrictions or something different. Then that's it.
Any version of a skip-every-line pass is necessarily going to be expensive. If it was priced where most people could/would buy it then everyone would and it effectively would just be a markup of the basic entry price. Then in the words of Dash/Syndrome “if everyone is special then nobody is”.
I still have a paper fast pass for Disneyland big thunder mountain. I remember the mad dash at park opening to get a fast pass. One person from a group would run to the machine with everyone's ticket to get them. They would all be gone within 30 minutes. I miss free fast pass as much as i miss the magical express. Now we are nickel and dimed for everything.
I would absolutely pay $500 for a premiere pass if I could park hop with it. It would allow someone to hit every big ticket attraction across all four parks in a single day. It's the fact that it can only be used on one park that will keep me from buying it.
At this point I'd have to win 649(🇨🇦 powerball equivalent) to even consider going to Disney. And honestly since the felon has been elected if I had that kind of money to spend I would go to Paris Disney then the cess pool of Florida.
I know for a fact that visiting Europe for my family of 5 is cheaper. In 2023 we did a 10 day trip to Disney that cost $15,000 (airfare, food, resort, tickets, etc). This past summer we did France for a month for $14,000 and that’s adding rental car. The one month long memories made superseded anything Disney can provide. That’s the sad reality.
We were there this past Thanksgiving week. We got LLs and to be fair as soon as one is redeemed you can get another one so we ended up doing LL on 5 rides each day, yes even on super busy weeks. However with this premiere pass it’s excessive. You are already paying an arm and a leg just to walk in. Paying an extra $120 for the family per day for LLs I feel like well to maximize our time I will do it but $1200? No thanks. That is cost prohibitive to us and I would consider our combined income solid middle class.
This is amazing for everybody who can afford it but for everybody else it’s just not an option. I’m going next year and my family will be fine with a multi-pass for each park and a few single passes
I have purchased premier pass ahead of my trip that starts tomorrow. I threw out my back and have been panicking on how I am going to make it through the trip. Purchasing Premier Pass has taken the stress off of running around the park and allowing me to sit and rest leisurely and slowly and not have to stand in lines and further aggravate my back. Plus we are traveling with our 11 month old, and i think it will be much easier to manage the day without having to worry about standing in lines or making it to our Lightning Lanes at a certain time
Disney is so expensive it’s no longer a family park universal and SeaWorld are way better and they cater to families universal has express passes for both parks and you have the option to get unlimited express also If you stay at a premier hotel you get unlimited express also if you have the premier pass you get express after 4 pm Disney is lame and expensive
Theyre guna still sell the $500 pass and have all rides closed that day 😂 Disney staff: (swat line in front of a closed ride ready to shrug shoulders and say:”i dont know”)
Hey DFB, i really enjoy your content ever since I visited Disney for the first time in 2022, but c'mon. This is outrageous. They continue to fail at maintance and delivering great experiences, while bleeding out every wallet they can. We should not try to see how bad policy may be good in a fringe scenario, but rather criticize them in unissent to have a bettee park in the future imo
Although it has only been introduced for about a month now, I have heard it has already SOLD OUT @ MK on some days = It will likely stick around unlike those hideous white tents they called Cabanas at MK before 🤨😵💫🙄
I realize you're trying to put this in perspective by comparing it to dining at V&A's or staying at Grand Flo, but it's totally different and comparing apples to oranges. There's no benefit to this system except for putting more money in Disney's pockets. I love Disney, but this is definitely a money grab and I'm not for it.
Being coming to Disney since 1972 Being on the traditional rides more times Than can count Disney is expensive enough without Paying $500.00 more for rides I have already been on several times Will wait in line if have a need to ride On whatever Coming for x mas and only rides in park Have never been on Tron in magic kingdom Guardians of galaxy at Epcot Ratatouille at Epcot Slinky dog dash at Hollywood studios Have done Star Wars rides before So no I would not send $500 more Dollars to skip line + I do not think is fair For people that can only afford Disney once to have wealthy people skip line Because they are to lazy are whatever to Wait in line like average people I bet Walt Disney himself turning over in Grave he wanted it to be a place people could come with family and have fun Take nice memories home He died at to young an age I think he was 69
Nope, best time we had was last trip, no genie, no fast pass, just went and rode the rides we wanted. Best visit post covid. The tickets and stuff are expensive enough, let alone adding in extras upon extras. Disney needs to get back to core business that made them great, and this is not the way
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE🎆🎇🧨🎉😃🥳 HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY AND HAS FUN BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING. I just got done with work a couple minutes ago and I was writing ideas down for my secret Santa at work and then I got playing Toy Blast on my phone. I didn't think that there would be a video released today
Buuuut, great for international guests! We will buy it next year, making the best out of our vacation. The new Lightning line Multi pass System is not good for international guests
It used to be that normal families could enjoy the parks. Now you have to be VERY well off or you're treated like lower-class cattle. I'm absolutely gutted that Disney has gone this route. Talk about killing a dream!
We purchased Premier for a day at Hollywood. I'm not happy about the cost, trust me on that !. For us time is money and we will only be at WDW for 2 days. We are going to the Christmas party which gets us into magic kingdom at 4. Before that we will be spending time at Hollywood. The problem is so will everyone else because magic kingdom closes at 6pm for the party. Looking at wait times for Hollywood with multiple 100 + minute waits means an awful day for us (family of 4) By purchasing Premier now we can do all rides easily and on our schedule. It turned a bad situation into a perfect day scenario. Again, the cost is ridiculous but I am lucky this was an option for us.
If this is your families one and only trip to Disney ever because it’s just that expensive, you won’t be getting the premier pass. Lmfao like what is this video. Save your money folks. Dollywood and Silver Dollar City are way better theme parks with a few rides that are in the national top 50 rides lot of thousands.
Lightning Lane is the worst thing that Disney has every done in my view. But I got to say I like this premier pass thing... but ONLY if becomes the ONLY LL service. If they keep premier and the previous abomination that is LL then they simply made the parks that much worse. Of course the limited availability of LLPP is only a benefit to consumers if Doesn't doesn't make it "limited" and sells as many as possible because they are under no obligation to tell their customer base how many have been bought.
I love you guys, but you're overlooking a key point. With the ratios for Lightning Lane (Premier and Multipass now) it increases the wait time for the regular standard line and hurts anyone who isn't able or willing to shell out the extra money. We get it, Disney is a company out to make money... but they're cutting their own throats with the "More out of less customers" attitude. They should be doing things to bring the magic back for everyone. Instead of yet another DVC resort, add another Value resort. Its been 12 years since Art of Animation opened, and while its considered a Value its priced closer to the Moderates.
This is the problem for me. I watch a few bloggers and one of them said he saw a noticeable difference in availability for lighting lanes- and that was before they opened it up to all hotel guests. What will happen when they start increasing the number of passes they sell each day.
Is there such thing as "value" and "moderate", regarding Disney?
this makes disney only for the uber rich
Disney doesn’t want poor people…
Exactly. Not only that, but there is also the real possibility that the premier pass could eventually lead to congestion in the lightning lanes just like Fastpass+ did
I find the After Hours events to be a much better deal than the premier pass.
Me too.
I concur
Shh don’t say that! They’ll come for that next, your after hours event ticket won’t include rides. $250 extra for a ride pass.
I love Disney, but the ridiculous expenses and amount of planning/forethought that you need to put into any vacation there is completely off-putting. This is clearly another mousey money grab at the expense of regular park attendees - part of me can see the allure because it's less to schedule down to the minute, but the price and impact on regular park attendees makes it a no for me.
I’m sorry, this is an optimistic view to attempt not being negative on this ludicrous offer. The cost vs benefit is not worth it really. Include the tickets, or meals as a combo without additional cost. Otherwise, I pass.
Ultimately everything is getting costly and out pricing the average customer.
stinks
Vote with your feet. It’s the strongest vote.

Define “regular” guests. Let me guess, it’s guests within your specific economic class.
Guests who pay for entrance to the park, with the understanding that this grants them reasonable access to rides and attractions 🤷♀️
They will get rid of the cheaper options soon, I wouldn't worry about that.
@@Momcircus what’s your definition of “reasonable”?
Disney evolution: Visionary, Magical, Inclusive, Elitist. 😢
Universal’s express pass and express pass unlimited is for both parks on the same day. And you can use express pass on velocicoaster.
I’d spend more and get a VIP tour. You know, if I’m literally throwing money away.
I rather go to universal studios. Disney is getting out of hand.
I came from the days of free Fast Pass and I have never and will never pay to skip the line. I'd rather extend my vacation then do that. It may be cheaper in the long run.

If that’s true, why not examine the problem with the box office?

30%+ of customers are now taking LOANS to go to WDW. Financing an extra $1600 isn't that much more.
Yes it is, exactly $1600 more. That’s the mortgage payment for many individuals. No one should be promoting debt to visit a theme park.
Anyone who does this is an actual idiot that should be shamed.
I cannot imagine financing a vacation. Save up or find something cheaper to do. Disney is great but it’s not worth any amount of debt.
Velocicoaster IS included in the Express Pass, btw :) the only ride that is currently operating and doesn't include an express lane is Hagrid's
we are from the Uk and will not be returning to Walt Disney World. Not worth the money.

This past summer we did France for a month for $14,000 and that’s adding rental car. The one month long memories made superseded anything Disney can provide. That’s the sad reality.
Saved even more money by not going to Disneyland, Disneyworld, watching Disney+, but still watching Disney videos on TH-cam! 🤑
$500 is worth it if you are a rich person. Disney is getting ridiculous with all the money they make they can’t figure out something better!!
“Something better”. You mean making less profit? Why?
I could accept these arguments if the price were at least up to $130, an add-on should not cost more than the Park ticket.
Nope hate this they need to stop
Edit: Nevermind don’t care anymore going to Epic Universe.
No. Not this time.
We were there this past Thanksgiving week. We got LLs and to be fair as soon as one is redeemed you can get another one so we ended up doing LL on 5 rides each day, yes even on super busy weeks. However with this premiere pass it’s excessive. You are already paying an arm and a leg just to walk in. Paying an extra $120 for the family per day for LLs I feel like well to maximize our time I will do it but $1200? No thanks. That is cost prohibitive to us and I would consider our combined income solid middle class.
They need to bring fast pass back
Velocicoaster is included
No❤
It’s crazy!!! Disney changes everyday! Like last year I remember the que! Thank you so much for your tips! I’m going in 1 week I’m so excited❤
Going in 2 wks and getting less excited now that they changed things again. Hope it'll still be good.
@ yea, agreed!
This is amazing for everybody who can afford it but for everybody else it’s just not an option. I’m going next year and my family will be fine with a multi-pass for each park and a few single passes
I have purchased premier pass ahead of my trip that starts tomorrow. I threw out my back and have been panicking on how I am going to make it through the trip. Purchasing Premier Pass has taken the stress off of running around the park and allowing me to sit and rest leisurely and slowly and not have to stand in lines and further aggravate my back. Plus we are traveling with our 11 month old, and i think it will be much easier to manage the day without having to worry about standing in lines or making it to our Lightning Lanes at a certain time
Disney is so expensive it’s no longer a family park universal and SeaWorld are way better and they cater to families universal has express passes for both parks and you have the option to get unlimited express also If you stay at a premier hotel you get unlimited express also if you have the premier pass you get express after 4 pm Disney is lame and expensive
Theyre guna still sell the $500 pass and have all rides closed that day 😂
Disney staff: (swat line in front of a closed ride ready to shrug shoulders and say:”i dont know”)
Hey DFB, i really enjoy your content ever since I visited Disney for the first time in 2022, but c'mon.
This is outrageous. They continue to fail at maintance and delivering great experiences, while bleeding out every wallet they can. We should not try to see how bad policy may be good in a fringe scenario, but rather criticize them in unissent to have a bettee park in the future imo
No but if other people want to, let them.
For a once in a lifetime visit? Yes. No phone! If it was cheaper, everyone would get it.
You’re just joining everyone else in the LL. I once waited an hour for indiana jones in LL. Its pointless
Nope. 😉
Judging by the sales, a lot of people would.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although it has only been introduced for about a month now, I have heard it has already SOLD OUT @ MK on some days = It will likely stick around unlike those hideous white tents they called Cabanas at MK before 🤨😵💫🙄
I realize you're trying to put this in perspective by comparing it to dining at V&A's or staying at Grand Flo, but it's totally different and comparing apples to oranges. There's no benefit to this system except for putting more money in Disney's pockets. I love Disney, but this is definitely a money grab and I'm not for it.
If it was just me and the wife and we knew we wouldn’t be going back for at least three years, definitely
Being coming to Disney since 1972
Being on the traditional rides more times
Than can count
Disney is expensive enough without
Paying $500.00 more for rides I have already been on several times
Will wait in line if have a need to ride
On whatever
Coming for x mas and only rides in park
Have never been on
Tron in magic kingdom
Guardians of galaxy at Epcot
Ratatouille at Epcot
Slinky dog dash at Hollywood studios
Have done Star Wars rides before
So no I would not send $500 more
Dollars to skip line + I do not think is fair
For people that can only afford Disney once to have wealthy people skip line
Because they are to lazy are whatever to
Wait in line like average people
I bet Walt Disney himself turning over in
Grave he wanted it to be a place people could come with family and have fun
Take nice memories home
He died at to young an age I think he was 69
Nope, best time we had was last trip, no genie, no fast pass, just went and rode the rides we wanted. Best visit post covid. The tickets and stuff are expensive enough, let alone adding in extras upon extras. Disney needs to get back to core business that made them great, and this is not the way
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE🎆🎇🧨🎉😃🥳 HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY AND HAS FUN BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING. I just got done with work a couple minutes ago and I was writing ideas down for my secret Santa at work and then I got playing Toy Blast on my phone. I didn't think that there would be a video released today
Not per day & not limited to one park. Maybe if it was limited to two parks per day.
Buuuut, great for international guests! We will buy it next year, making the best out of our vacation. The new Lightning line Multi pass System is not good for international guests
😂. No.
Id get it, if it were unlimited rides.
Wait times are inflated yalll!!!!
It used to be that normal families could enjoy the parks. Now you have to be VERY well off or you're treated like lower-class cattle. I'm absolutely gutted that Disney has gone this route. Talk about killing a dream!
Disneycott, Disneycott, Disneycott.
None of my cheddar for the greedy, pervy Mouse.
no way in hell. We will be there Dec 1 to 6 and will not buy a premier pass.
No, I would not. I would consider maybe half that - but I suppose others would too and then that would defeat the purpose.
We purchased Premier for a day at Hollywood. I'm not happy about the cost, trust me on that !. For us time is money and we will only be at WDW for 2 days. We are going to the Christmas party which gets us into magic kingdom at 4. Before that we will be spending time at Hollywood. The problem is so will everyone else because magic kingdom closes at 6pm for the party. Looking at wait times for Hollywood with multiple 100 + minute waits means an awful day for us (family of 4) By purchasing Premier now we can do all rides easily and on our schedule. It turned a bad situation into a perfect day scenario. Again, the cost is ridiculous but I am lucky this was an option for us.
Good for you🌸 but not an option for all
Or Bob Iger's midlife crisis because he just keeps spending the Disney's money
If this is your families one and only trip to Disney ever because it’s just that expensive, you won’t be getting the premier pass. Lmfao like what is this video. Save your money folks. Dollywood and Silver Dollar City are way better theme parks with a few rides that are in the national top 50 rides lot of thousands.
Lightning Lane is the worst thing that Disney has every done in my view. But I got to say I like this premier pass thing... but ONLY if becomes the ONLY LL service. If they keep premier and the previous abomination that is LL then they simply made the parks that much worse. Of course the limited availability of LLPP is only a benefit to consumers if Doesn't doesn't make it "limited" and sells as many as possible because they are under no obligation to tell their customer base how many have been bought.
Guys stop shilling for this nonsense.
Land or World?
There is no Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studio, or Animal Kingdom at DisneyLand.
K, @
$300-400+/day/person/park sounds like a bargain. Haha. Yeah right. I’ll spend my money on vacations elsewhere
