BREAKING NEWS: Disney World CHANGES Lightning Lane - Ultra Rich Skip Lines While Middle Class WAITS!

[@radiosilence599]

The lightning lane premier pass reminds me of that scene in History of the world part 1 where the king was walking on the peasants to get to where he was going. I wonder if Disney will offer that service, you get to walk on top of the common people to get to the front of the line. Disney on borrowed time.

Imagine paying for that fancy pass and then having to still wait in line with the regular Joe Shmoes once you get to the Lightning Lane because they have a scheduled time. If people are willing to pay for that pass, then why should I care? It's their money. I wonder if they are going to have a special line and let these fancy passes have priority over the timed lightning lane guests, then the rest of us "poor" middle class. I wouldn't buy it, even if I could. A day at Disney simply isn't worth that much these days.

They seem to want to cater to a very few DINKs rather than a large number of regular "Joes". It's a brave strategy Cotten. Let's see if it pays off.

Yeah because waiting 2 hours to ride the seven dwarf wasn't bad enough, you'll also have to watch rich people skip the line

@@PlayerGuyPlays I think most people will be watching from Epic Universe......

Again, this is all super confusing. If you do not watch all of these podcasts and listen carefully, I can see how someone would be completely befuddled. I was a super fan and I have a great understanding of all of this and my response will be epic universe here I come. I live 20 minutes from Universal Hollywood and an hour from Disneyland. The frustrations of going to Disneyland have made it not worth the effort. Ugh

Listen, if a company is able to quickly separate stupid people from their money, I'm okay with that because it means they won't have the money to go where I go.

What’s the hub-bub all about? So people that are willing to pay more get a better experience? And? Should we do away with 1st class and business class on air travel? Front row seats to sporting events? Suites in hotels? You either believe in a free market or you don’t.

The problem is, nobody can stop them from doing what they are doing to the guests. The only people that CAN stop them are us! The guests! If we quit going and leave them high and dry then they would have to change and lower prices. But there are too many goons that will pay any freaking thing that Disney charges! Too many people with too much money these days and very little common sense. It's those type of people that are ruining it for all of us. I am not rich by no means, and I have to pay for a Disney trip in payments until paid for. I just don't understand the mentality of those that pay anything Disney charges and never complains or boycotting Disney. Sure, if I boycotted Disney by myself, it wouldn't effect them at all. My one little voice wouldn't amount to a hill of beans. It's gonna take thousands upon thousands to unite and boycott Disney all at once to see any changes happen. I love Disney and I love going down there. I grew up watching Disney on tv back in the 60s and 70s. But doggone it p***** me off terribly at how horrible they have become with the idiots that are in charge and ruining the company! Back in the early 2000s we were staying at the All Star Resorts and POP Century for as low as $54 a night! Plus the packages had so much extra stuff in them. These days you get pretty much nothing extra. We stayed at All Star Music for 4 nights during Labor Day week. The only extra stuff we were given were luggage tags and some vouchers to play putt putt at any of the putt putt courses. Not to mention we had to pay extra for the dining plan. Bottom line, Disney sucks these days, and it's the worthless management that purely sucks, because they are the ones destroying what Walt worked so hard to create for families.

I wouldn't mind paying $250 for a day pass at a park if it was a great experience. But paying $250 to wait in line for hours? I can do that at the DMV for free
