Yes, I’m in favor of Disneyland now requiring reservations (as airlines do and as sometimes museums do).
Social media resulted in locals in Disneyland telling everyone stuff like: “Hey, they introduced a new pretzel today” and suddenly thousands of unexpected local visitors would swamp the park. Remember Disneyland is surrounded by MILLIONS of people in LA.
Disneyland couldn’t plan for staffing etc and so the reservation system helps them with that. Time will tell if it helps with the crowds. Apparently not—it’s as crowded as ever but perhaps more evenly disbursed over time. And it makes sense for them to charge more during peak times too.
I’m ok with that, but I think it will take more. And it can’t be done by just hiking prices so far only the uberwealthy will be able to go. I’m not sure what the solution is. Maybe extended hours.
