Where were lines being capped? Was it Carpets of Aladdin? I knew it!!
In all seriousness though I think this is a problem that needs some attention. I don't mean to sound ignorant to all the issues presented but it just isn't a good look, especially for non locals, i.e. their "preferred" guests. I'm sure increasing crowds have been on everyone's mind but I personally start getting tweaked realizing my chances of riding their new premier ride, ROTR, are slim to none - even with all the proper planning,
MDE test runs at home, etc etc. I mean coming from the Pacific NW, it's a huge investment with a great chance of little to no returns. This might not be as big an issue for locals, or AP holders but for me, it is.
Of course folks can spout off "well then, just don't go" but I'm trying to look at it from Disney's perspective, trying to attract the stay on site gang, (me). At least I hear they are trying to increase the ride capacity at ROTR, that's a start, but now they are capping lines?
And I know it's not just me. One of my once favorite bloggers (who's increasing negativity is becoming a downer) even wrote a piece about possibly skipping HS entirely:
https://www.disneytouristblog.com/hollywood-studios-report-skip-strategize/And even ResortTV1 had a piece on it today, asking viewers if fast passes should return. I imagine it's becoming difficult for the vloggers as well - who wants to watch a vlog of some person standing in line for hours on end?
My take on the later is they have an ulterior motive and might be trying to drum up support so their vlogs can return to a semblance of profitable normalcy.
Well, thanks for letting me vent
