Disney increases Genie+ prices in US parks, tickets prices in California

Do until i = infinity;

“That’s it, attendance is going to completely drop”

I can't believe that the Internet is predicting the end of Disney. They're too expensive and too woke! Now where do I get my Figment plushy and anniversary popcorn bucket?

It is incredible to me how many people complain that Disney is both too crowded and too expensive at the same time.

Disney has the ability to use their pricing power and raise prices until supply meets demand. Six Flags has proven they do not have that luxury but seems to adjusting to find the right balance- yet I think they may have over corrected twice- first in the initially raising of prices and second in the passes now aimed towards the fright fest patrons. What a mess.

Its too expensive for the individuals complaining. Not for the market overall.

I’m not even convinced that it’s too expensive for the individuals complaining. ;)

But it isn't. They are still going to go.

Why does Disney hate poor people?

Disney is coming to an end, all right.
But it won’t be Genie+++, it’ll be climate change and rising water levels.

Hurricane frequency is a real thing, though probably not the end of Disney. I think they've closed for hurricanes 10 or so times, and more than half of those were in the last decade.

I don’t know if there’s a cap on Genie+ purchases or not but during my trip to Epcot it seemed like an awful lot of people were using it (staring at their phones, waiting around outside the ride).

If they want to meet demand they may have to build that Williamsburg, VA park after all.

That may change when Orlando becomes part of south Florida.

The Venn diagram of the people that complain about both (or all things Disney to be accurate) and still go is a perfect circle.

Almost. I’m the one guy in the microscopic sliver outside the overlap who complains about both and haven’t been in 35 years.

It sounds like Disney is doing nothing to win you over.

Well, they have neither a Dragon Wagon, nor a bakery that serves bran muffins, so that's a no brainer.

Oh contraire... Kona Island Menu.

Flight booked…

Well, I’ll be. I knew they had “healthy” options, but not bran.
