Thirty lawsuits filed by Disney visitors with autism who alleged they unfairly waited for attractions should go to trial, an appeals court ruled Friday. The crux of the court case is whether Disney accommodates the most severely disabled guests and gives them the same experience as other visitors. The courts previously ruled in Disney's favor.

Everyone here already knows that, for the most part, Disney controls park capacity issues by raising admission prices. You can't find a coupon for a Disney park on the side of a fast food cup like you will a Cedar Fair or Six Flags park.

I know that they exist, I was actually talking about giving them teeth where they would actually realistically give people a reasonable experience where they could ride rides without lines in excess of an hour and walk around comfortably. My idea behind max capacities is that you would have guests buy tickets beforehand, and you would see how many tickets were left for each on day on the calendar. It would also encourage guests to use all 365 days, and not just the weekends and holidays. It would be like buying tickets to a sporting event.
But I agree with the posters on here 100%. It would never happen, as its a business and parks would never turn down paying customers to make their experiences better if they're obviously still willing to go with the crowds. If it ever were to happen, it would have to be from a legislative standpoint, but I don't think it would... or should happen. I agree that consumers should be able to consume how they want to consume.
In addition to coaster enthusiasts, there are also people who are addicted to Disney and very savvy who aren't as into other parks. So there are many resources out there, and books that you can buy to teach you how to be savvy about Disney, and avoid the crowds with a few tricks.
My main argument is that you aren't getting your money's worth out of a full priced single day ticket if you go on an average day on the weekend with average crowds, and many people aren't fully informed of this reality before they go. But again, the parks are full for a reason, and people keep coming back, so obviously its not a problem worth solving.

Except that you get the convenience of not having to take a day off work or go on some weird weekend in September when school and sports and extracurriculars are starting up. That convenience is obviously worth it to a whole lot of people.
