If you go during non-peak days and have a general game plan, it’s not that bad. You can get a good amount of ride time going if you time your Fastpasses (they’re free) good enough.
The pricetag, though, that’s on you to decide. I like going, but I wouldn’t go more than, like, once… a decade.
Once was enough for a lifetime for me. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t really that much better than most amusement parks, and certainly not worth the price to go back. I can say I’ve been, and that’s enough for me.
My family used to go every year when I was growing up, and it just progressively got worse. I can’t imagine how awful an experience it is now in 2023.
It wasn’t nearly as crowded in the years before Fast Pass or whatever the fuck they call it now. It was bearable when Fast Pass was new. But eventually everyone was getting Fast Pass, which defeated the point of it.
I believe Disney shot themselves in the foot with Fastpass. It turned the parks from something you experience and explore, into a checklist and schedule.
Okay, I’ve never been to Disneyland, but I’ve been to Disney World many, many times, and I’ve been to many other theme parks around the US.
It’s sometimes a bit of a crapshoot, but obviously if you go off-season, opening (of the season) day, or weekdays vs weekends, there will be shorter lines. I’ve been to days at Busch Gardens and Six Flags where there were zero lines and the operators would just let you stay on the ride as many times as you wanted. I’ve also been in the “let’s get grandma a wheelchair so we can go to the front of the line for Small, Small World.”
It’s really just whatever floats the collective boats of the folks you’d be bringing. I do have to say, though, that being a little day drunk or a bit stoned at Disney or Universal is amazing but the lines will potentially take much, much longer.
We went to universal studios singapore and stood i a line for hours for a 10 minute ride. It was the best fucking rollercoaster in my life but it wasnt worth it.
I like to think that somewhere out there is a timeline in which this really, finally does the trick, with headlines tomorrow announcing both sides have forged a lasting peace.
I’ve been there recently. I can see it— the people who go to Disneyland (specifically non locals) are some of the absolute worst human beings I’ve ever seen. That this wasn’t a thing sooner is astonishing.
Locals on the other hand, not so bad. Year passes are a thing and some people just want to chill at Disney after work, haha.
Ha, we were there at the same time! I worked at big thunder mountain railroad. Never had anyone poop in line but this guy did poop on his pants in the ride, and we have him plastic bag boots so he could walk to the bathroom and get into a different set of clothes!
