The Return of Walt Disney: A Creative Reawakening | ANIMATED SHORT

This needs to go viral, seriously. This is not meme, its actually real life. How can this be viewed by millions? I'll do anything...

[@fifthrider]

The only way to make Disney stop is to go against the grain of your nature and just not go.

[@ellenw391]

I really believe this is the 1st time in my life where I not only do not wanna go to Disney, But if someone offered me a free trip I'm not sure I take it. The last thing I want to do on a vacation is to spend it with my nose in my phone. I don't want to plan on my entire day out. I want to relax, have fun, soak up the magic that used to exist. It's bad enough we have to know 180 days in advance what we're gonna feel like eating that day. But the thought of micromanaging every second Goes against everything I love about the parks. My hope is since pretty much EVERYONE hates the changes. Everyone needs to just say no. If we stop paying, I guarantee they will boot this money grabbing miser!!!

[@ScottSpotMedia]

Not paying for the rides was always the charm of Disney. If the lines are too long there are many creative solutions to that problem that don't include dipping into the already taxed consumer.

[@television1088]

If every single person who cares about this boycotted Disney, they would not even notice. This is a side effect of underfunding education for 40 years.

[@ellenw391]

@@television1088 I don't buy that. The Disney model is based on return visits. We stop returning, buying absurd add-ons that should be included, and all the spending that won't happen there (aka restaurants, gift shops etc), things WILL change & quickly. Just the pressure from the massive companies that own a large amount of the restaurants can cause change. The one good thing is this CEO SOB has been SO greedy that for many going at all, let alone several times a year, won't be a choice in this economy. The money simply is not there, so trips will be postponed or cancelled. He may rip people off in the short term, but let's see his overall bottom line in say a year or two. This would be bad enough in a strong economy, but during a pandemic (yup not over, no matter what some states think)?

OMG, this is exactly what so many of us are talking about in exactly the same way....Thank you for creating this video for all to view. I for one, am sharing this about 15 people. Lets get this out there. Ingenious......GREAT Work

[@tomcrossmanpictures]

The issue is not so much having to buy a ticket to the Star Wars ride, the issue is that Disney is monetizing everything, and this will continue to grow and grow. If you want a waterfront seat at the Blue Bayou, you’ll pay extra for it. Want to see the Fireworks from the hub, you’ll pay extra for it. Fastpass attractions will all have their own separate fees, just like at Disneyland Paris. In the US, Disney is launching it with 2 rides per park to see what kind of press they get, and if the damage to the brand is financially worthwhile. I don’t think your day at Disneyland should be about constantly making small purchases on your phone.

[@InNatureWeDie]

But if you think further than only the rides.... Think about the entrance fee of 100 dollars that's when you ride 10 rides a day 10 dollars a ride. You don't pay at the ride but in forward by the entrance. Everything you buy like Merch is pure profit. If you make all things free you get thing like people waiting 3 hours (wasted time) in front of the castle to have front view of fireworks. You pay to get an privilege. It's not a necessary thing. Are you complaining about prices at 5star hotels (people in low budget will never be there)

[@tomcrossmanpictures]

I do see your point. I see this more like paying for a five star hotel, and then having to pay an extra $20 if you want to sit by a window in the lobby

[@princessmarlena1359]

What’s next? “Pay to get on the ride, then pay to get off?”

[@tomcrossmanpictures]

Absolutely right

[@JasonRasmussen]

@@tomcrossmanpictures Most people are blinded and still have their rose colored Marvel glasses, but we know the truth.

[@nikolefinger1747]

Exactly! We pay to go on the rides when we pay to go into the park! I'll only accept these crazy prices if we don't have to pay for admission. It's not like this extra money they want is going towards the cast members or anything like that.

[@whatthestuffisthis]

You do know that Disneyland and Disneyworld Originally had Admission for just entry/admission to the parks. You bought tickets at a ticket booth inside the park. A little book of tickets AFTER you got in the park.. These would be classified into A/B/C And E TICKETS. SO a mainstreet ride or a train ride would be a A or B ticket. Tree House a C ticket...and Haunted Mansion or Pirates would be a ETicket ride. It's was the original Vision walt did. They only changed it when places like Six Flags offered "one ticket" and seriously...who wants to go to six flags

[@jackalenterprisesofohio]

@@whatthestuffisthis people who like to see six flags....I perfer ten flags myself since there's more flags to see.

[@7joness]

I get that the original system was pay per ride. However, even when you do pay extra for Genie+, you’re still not getting on rides unless your head is buried in your phone all day. We bought genie+ for hollywood studios, and the only attraction we got on all day was Muppet vision 3D😡 and there was not even the option to purchase Lightening lane rides, because they were already full for the day! The crowd management has become atrocious!

Yes indeed. Six Flags Magic mtn here in California is $7.85 membership per month. That's for unlimited rides and no black out dates and no reservation needed. Think about that. KNOTTS Berry Farm just down the street from Disneyland is $120 season pass, no blackout dates.

Walt Disney wanted his Disney park for EVERYONE to enjoy not just for rich people. Walt Disney would rotate in his grave if he knew about it. If Walt Disney would be alive his park would be in good hands. But now Disneyland/Disneypark is just a greedy and money hungry company. That's a shame. 😟

Of course, Walt Disney used to charge guests per ride, in addition to the park entrance fee. The difference is that current prices are higher than inflation.

Yes, there were separate fees for admission and rides. I'm pretty sure that was so those wishing to accompany family but not go on rides would not have to spend more. But the current costs are not even comparable. At over $100 for single day admission, that should cover everything!! But, they want everyone to spend more. The complete opposite!
