    At $400 a person you could get a hotel room for another night and go for another day and ride the rides you missed.

      @AndrewBouma 24 дня назад +2

      If you have a family of 4 at $400 a person that would be $1600 which is a lot more than one night depending on the hotel. This is geared towards the 2% of guests that have more money than time.

      @@AndrewBouma I think you may have misunderstood me. For the amount of money it would cost to get that pass for a family, $1600 per day for a couple of days, you could instead get more nights at a hotel and days at the park without that pass to go back and do the rides you missed. It's not that hard at the Disneyland Resort. Disneyworld would be a different story though.

    Disney has a funny way of being able to mess up a really great day. I took my wife when we were just engaged to go to Disney World for her first time. We went to Hollywood, hoping to ride rise of the resistance. We only had one day. Upon getting there, I learned that you had to do the boarding group thing, and I missed both times. Like six months later they were just letting people do a standby line. I wish I would’ve went to Animal Kingdom lol.

    What are your thoughts about Disney getting ride of multi pass LL? I saw a graphic another youtuber came up with that showed how LL slows down standby - numbers he used were 30 LL for every 5 Standby. He was proposing if they eliminated multipass and only had this premier pass the standby would move quicker and the premier would be more worth it to those that could afford it. Why would you want to pay $400 and then get stuck waiting in line behind someone paying $30. An interesting perspective.

There is SO much more to the Disney parks than just trying to pack in as many attractions as possible to get your $400 worth of rides. Enjoying the entertainment offerings, browsing through shops, soaking up the magnificent details and ambiance, meeting your favorite characters, riding the monorail or the train just for fun - these are the things I love most about Disney parks, not the rides (although those are fun!). Also think it's not cool that there are no Fantasyland rides on the list (other than the Matterhorn) - the ones at DL are classics and unique. Thanks for bringing us along!

    Usually at Disneyland I need at least two days and do not feel like I have done everything, so usually would do 3 - but I would also do three days and every day had Genie+ (before it was renamed). Dropping one day for one day with this option may be near a wash when hotel, food, parking, etc is all included - and could still due Lightning Lane Multipass on the second day. The third day ticket and hotel would likely cost $300+ altogether.

    Is it worth it is very subjective and depends on what’s important to you and your trip parameters. Example: took our son to May the 4th to celebrate graduation from college the day before. We knew we had 1 day at DHS and then home. In the past, our strategy was rope drop Rise of the Resistance, but we remembered how long and boring that morning line was. So we decided to buy an ILL for Rise. It turned out to be worth it because we walked onto Falcon and then were able to do numerous other things in the first couple of hours and have almost no wait for Rise later in the day. It made the experience better and kept our morning moving with no boredom in a long line.

    The redeeming factor for California Screamin' at opening of DCA was that it was the longest rollercoaster with an inversion in the world upon opening, and third longest in general in the US... top 10 in the world still. The uphill LIM launch was also the first of its kind! (RIP the waves too) It's overall better at night during WoC.
    Regardless it's hard to disagree that Paradise Pier wasn't very "Disney" though, it's similar (but superior) to Chester and Hesters parking lot.
    The counterpart coaster at WDW, Rock'n' Rollercoaster, is def more themed with the pre-show, but that track has a clone at another park, and it's so short and unusually themed that it never felt much more "Disney" to me.
    Apparently, they were planning on opening a second RnRC at DCA as well but ofc it was budget cut! lol

    • @EEvtg

      Regarding Universal having uncovered coasters, I think people give them a pass because they already have plenty of those already, so they're expected, and incorrectly viewed as a necessity, considering Universal is perceived as offering more thrills.
      I actually think the generic astronomy theme is less convincing than Disney's chosen pier theme, or at least it makes less sense as an excuse for an uncovered coaster lol.

Fantasyland, Mark Twain, Railroad etc. Day 3, Early morning before "Rope Drop" re-ride a few attractions like Space Mtn. Matterhorn, Big Thunder, Indie. Spend the rest of the day at my own pace in the park do some shopping etc. 5 p.m. Get the bus back to L.A. Airport depart 10 p.m. This $400 pass has just given me 3 days with no stress.

    Definitely agree it is more for people with more money than time - and "time" also meaning willingness to do the work to maximize their time, use of LLMP, etc - basically willing to pay to have a simpler trip ... just ride the ride when you want to, no prebooking, etc. Definitely not for the average guest for for some, in certain situation, it can make sense

    My first and only time in Disneyland was April of 22', I had a two day ticket and utilized the LL and Individual LL to complete about 95% of the attractions and had enough time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere, dining, and even the food and wine festival at DCA.
    Not sure if I would do the $400 because of it being limited to one day. I feel like I would be almost burdened to speed through the entire resort and just not enjoy anything. You make a good point too with getting two days and spending one day on the Premier. But I think for value and enjoyment, it may be worth it to just do regular LL on both.

  • @greatstonedragon6440

    The thing about this option is that it gets exponentially worse the larger your family. A couple or a group of friends who are paying for themselves? Might be a viable option if you want to power through a day. For a family of five? That’s almost a whole other non-Disney vacation It is nice that it includes both parks at DL. Also, it does sound like a much better deal if you could get it on a $300/person day, but it would probably be shorter park hours too to try and squeeze everything into. Still seems stressful to get through everything in one day to get your money’s worth

      As a former cast member. We could give estimates on what we think the wait will be, however we would typically go by the official times because they are usually accurate, and if they aren’t we would radio in to change it. The only time the times were wrong were when the line went faster or guests stopped turning up, and the wait times didn’t update fast enough. I agree that the wait times system needs to be updated and I completely agree that it’s frustrating for guest, and the cast at the touch points.

I remember watching a video about how Disney tried to do VIP tents in Tomorrowland back in the 90s for a high price but the consumers of those days weren’t having it and it went away fairly quickly.

  • @richardnasluchacz3227
    @richardnasluchacz3227 25 дней назад +1

    I’ll address an ethical issue that is specifically part of this. Not only is DAS a very narrowly approved access for part of the disabled population, the accommodation at individual rides for disabled persons who do not qualify for DAS is being reduced, and even warned by Cast Members that people with mobility issues should expect the return time accommodation to completely disappear (I was told this by a CM at Jungle Cruise). And considering that when being denied DAS, disabled patrons are encouraged to pay extra for Lightning Lane to skip the lines, or to rent a scooter from Disneyland and use it only in the ADA accessible ride queues. So what does and can this mean for disabled quests? It sets an addition premium on handicapped patrons in order to have equitable access to rides. And if Disney decides to discontinue the non-premier level Lightning Lane categories, it makes it 4 times more expensive for handicapped patrons to access rides. Some people will say that Disney will never do that. However, once the Premier passes do well, it will clog the Lightning Lane access, also further delaying the standby, and the only way for Disney to offset this is to remove all non-Premier levels of LL access. This will leave the disabled population with only an expensive option to obtain the legally required “reasonable accommodation” under ADA. And we aren’t talking about someone who would rather not stand, we are talking about individuals who are unable to walk long distances, unable to stand for extended period, or even confined to a wheelchair. And only a few ride lines in Disneyland are wheelchair or mobility scooter accessible, even if the ride vehicle can accommodate the disability. That reduces the handicap population to a second class status, unless they want to pay an extremely high, often prohibitively high premium to be able to experience the parks. This is a huge ethical dilemma for Disney! And don’t get me started on the handicap parking failures.

Even at UNI you get free line skip is stay at a certain tier hotel. But not a WDW.

Either way you did a great job getting them all in I was invested and when the Matterhorn was down I was genuinely pissed off with you ! 😂 thanks for all the great content I really enjoying watching this channel !

      I wondered the same. It seems the focus resumed in tunnel vision. We like to plan listing to the live entertainment like Dapper Dans and the Band. It is nice to go to Tom Sawyer Island and enjoy no crowds and beautiful views. Sometimes we look for hidden Miskeys and chat with Cast Members. There are also great attractions that are not included in this pass.

We have just done Disneyland on a 4 day pass. Could we have done it in 2 yes, but we wanted to spend more time there to enjoy it, not just drop in, and drop out. I also would add we used Multipass and it worked really well 3 out of the 4 days.

If I have to end up spending the money I will at least be glad to get to appreciate my surroundings more!

  • @chrishebert5672

    One thing we all have to keep in mind is that this premier pass is not meant for the average family of four. It's not priced so that everyone could afford it. If it was, then it would have no value. Everyone would buy it and the lines would be long. Think of it as something similar to the very expensive VIP experience. It's meant for those who might be staying at a premium suite at the Grand Floridian for a couple of days. The money may not be a factor for them, and they don't want to spend the day trying to select lightning lanes. I imagine that only a few of these will be sold each day. Disney is a business. They know that there are some wealthy people that would pay a lot more to skip the lines. That's fine with me. The question of "is it worth it' depends on your financial status. If you are wealthy enough that paying the $400 is about as painful financially as for most of us buying a snack, then it's certainly worth it.

    • @Ratchetfan321
      @Ratchetfan321 25 дней назад +4

      Except that you don't get a premium experience like the VIP that gives you a direct skip the line service. This just puts you in the already full lightning lane line that others paid 40 bucks for.

      @chrishebert5672 25 дней назад

      @@Ratchetfan321 Yeah, that's true. VIP costs a good bit more, though. Also, in Disney World, you're limited to a single park per pass. As I said, though, if you view $400 to be as trivial financially as buying a box of popcorn, then it's well worth the cost.

      @@Egg_663 We went to Disneyland for the first time for me since 1982 just last June, and Disney World last week. I don't have unlimited money, but I'd consider it for one day at Disneyland, as it also includes all rides at DCA. It was really hard to get lightning lanes over there vs. Disney World. If we go back to Disneyland, then I think we would purchase it for one day. Never in Disney World, though. Of course, if only those staying at a Disney hotel could buy the pass, then we'd decline. That would be way too much money for us.

    I have a family of 4 and I admit the normal LLMP kind of sucks. I only get to go once a year. I don't live in CA. Went this May and often rides are already out 1 hour or 2 at rope drop. I would love to go on the ride when I want to go on it. But the price for 4 would be insane. Even as just using it one day to just use the LL as it looked like it could take you all day to get all of them done in both parks. My kids tend to be tried around 3pm. I am not sure I could really push them for an all day/night trip to make the price worth it. I do wish they would change the cheaper one. Either raise the price to 100 and no needing to book a return time only used once and make the 400 one a unlimited return to the rides. I know I don't have to spend the money, but I would like to get to ride things while there.
