SIMPLE SOLUTION: Disney allows you to book your boarding group for a ride when you buy your tickets in advance. That way people will know well in advance if they can get on the attractions they want or book for another day instead. WHY DISNEYLAND WON'T DO IT: Because they know if you see the attractions you want to experience are already full, you won't buy a ticket. And their #1 priority is to get your money.,

It seems to me that they need to add tiers to the tickets. One higher priced pass that guarantees you at least one entry to the big attractions at a specific time. You're booked, no need to wait at all. However, you are limited to, say, one ride on each of the two newest attractions. Then, a lower priced pass that you _know_ is a lottery system, you're trying to get into a limited number of free spaces and there's no guarantee.

Thank god those people on Twitter are defending a multi billion dollar company. There's still good in the world.

I understand ur frustration john but the difference is that if you buy a ticket to see a movie is specifically just to see that movie and now u can reserve ur seat in most movie theaters, but in Disney u don’t pay for your tickets for the specific rides, u just pay for the entrance of the parks and the hotel.

I was there a week ago. At 7am, Spider-Man was full within minutes. I was frustrated all morning, but made sure to click right at noon and lucked out. I understand your frustration and where you’re coming from, but the movie theater example is a false equivalency and you know it. Was your plan to ride Rise of the Resistance and immediately leave Disneyland? How about Spider-Man? The only difference between you and everyone else pissed off at Disneyland’s virtual queue is that you are a You Tube personality and you’re trying to be as loud as possible.

It's kind of like saying..."what do you mean...you go to the mall for just one store???" Well, yes. Sometimes I go to the mall to see many stores. Sometimes I get together with my friends and make an entire afternoon of it. We go for the experience of it. Socializing, shopping, eating junk food in the cafiteria, and generally have fun. But sometimes I just need to buy myself a new pair of shoes so I go to the mall to one store just to get myself some shoes. I don't go to every store there. I go in, get my shoes and leave. That's the point. You don't need to stay all day. Why couldn't you do the same with a theme park??? John lives within driving distance of Dinseyland. As he has said many times that he and his wife Ann have gone there all the time. He does not need to stay there all day. He is not there for the experience because he can go anytime he wishes. Just like you can go into a mall anytime you want. You don't need to "make a day of it" for the experience because you've been to that mall many times and you'll go back many more time sin the future. So, I'm not sure I see your point there.

John I think you comparing Disneyland to movie theater is completely off base. I've worked in the theme park business (not diseny). When you're buying a ticket for theater you're buying a ticket for one movie. When you're buying a ticket for a theme park you're buying for more than just two rides. There's about 15 to 20 rides Plus shows and other experiences. When you talk about the advertising truth is All theme parks advertise the new Flashly rides. There has always been no guarantee you're going to get onto these rides. All theme parks are like this not just Disney. You're trying to go on the two most popular rides in both parks if this was pre virus you would have been waiting four to five hours to get on one of them. You spent $1,500 for two rides think about that John. If my family would have spent that much I will be going on every goddamn ride I could go on not just two. I'm also smart enough to realize I'm not going to get onto every goddamn ride. I get it you're upset but you also have already been on Rise of the resistance And don't try to ride the new Spider-Man ride within the first 2 weeks you could have waited you could have been a smart consumer and wait for the initial push to die down. It's also the start of summer the start of most theme parks Peak seasons. Also you went on a weekend and you said in your previous video you used to be at the annual passholder. You should know weekends are terrible to go because that's when most of the tourists are there. Why didn't you go during the week. Let's look at some numbers you're probably fighting off anywhere from 20000 to 50000 people trying to reserve a spot to get on a ride. Disneyland has a max capacity of 85000. Disneyland has an average daily capacity of 51000 people California Adventure has an average capacity of 50000. The rise of resistance average hourly capacity is 1300 to 1700. Disneyland worked on a 12-hour operation schedule. So the maximum amount of people that can ride rise of the resistance is only 20,000 for whole day. John also bought a park hopper. So you spent half your day in Disneyland and the other half in California Adventure. You had a slim chance to get a reservation to both rides. If you spent one whole day at park you probably would have been able to get on one of them. If attendance was crazy high the chances get slimmer . Here's another point I like to bring up you wanted a refund. No theme park would give you a refund for missing out on two rides they might give you a meal voucher but no refund. I'm sorry you lost that money but there's more two theme parks but just two rides.

The problem with John's AMC analogy is that he's trying to equate buying a ticket for a specific product to buying access to an entire theme park. When you buy a movie theater ticket, you're paying to see a specific movie. You're not paying for the entire theater. With Disneyland, you are paying for access to all their hundreds of rides and attractions that just happen to include the 2 rides you really want. You're not paying for a specific ride or rides though that might be an idea Disney could consider in the future. What happened to John and his wife is terrible and unacceptable but this is Disney we're talking about. The park lost an obscene amount of money being shut down for over a year so naturally their strategy in opening is pull in whatever money they legally can from their customers to try make up for what they've lost. I am though a little surprised that Disney isn't trying to milk customers by some of sort of selling premier access to certain rides where if you pay more money, you can guarantee yourself a spot in line for the day you're coming to the park.

It’s misleading to conflate “paying for Disneyland tickets” and “paying for an individual attraction”. They are very different things. If you had ordered “Spider-Man” or “rise of the resistance” passes, and for some reason you couldn’t get on, I’m 100% sure they’d honor that. We’ve had multiple fast passes refunded when certain rides had to be shut down that we had scheduled for the day. All the examples given aren’t the right examples. When one buys a ticket to see Endgame, they are buying a ticket specifically for that individual show. A more correct example would be if someone paid for AMC A-List and then didn’t get Endgame tickets before they sold out. Is that person entitled to an Endgame showing? No. Is it disappointing? Yes. Is Disney scamming people? No. It’s supply and demand. They can’t let people order tickets for individual highly demanded rides way in advance, because there is too much demand day-of. Also these aren’t “fast passes” like in Disney parks. They are “virtual queues”. Meaning they are the covid solution to physical lines. Saying one should be able to “get a spot in the queue ahead of time” is like saying someone should be able to jump into a physical line before the park opens. That’s why those parameters are there. If your gripe is a lack of clarity that rides are likely to be booked, then that’s one thing. But of course they are going to advertise attractions they spent tons of money on. But you’re both adults living in the area who know how tough it can be to get on these rides this soon after they open. But if that’s your gripe, stop with the misleading examples that conflate buying “Disney passes” with “attraction passes”.

However, I also know that Summer is the most heavily visited time for Disney, and with the addition of it being during a pandemic as well as opening weekend for Avengers campus, I wouldn’t overlook the possibility of not being able to ride such attractions after already purchasing the tickets.

Disneyland is marvelous theme park and have visited many times. It's a valid point to begrudge Disney for with holding a refund for the disappointment of not being able to see one of the main attractions. Yet, there very similar circumstances to ALL theme parks that have theater shows within their parks. Theater shows are shows ran at a premise of first come first serve until full. I look at "Resistance" as such, a theatrical show. While it's not at "extra cost", it is part the experience at first come first serve [digitally]. I've come to realize that when I visit Disney World in Orlando for the 1st time, I have a 32% chance of seeing the ride (according to a popular Disney Blog's poll). Dude, there's just so much to experience, I sure as heck am NOT going to let that "Yuck ruin my Yum" with the money I'm spending with my significant other.

1000% agree with John on this one! We paid to fly to Florida, rent a car, paid for all of the tickets to all five lands. And we tried to get on rise of resistance all the different ways. How to go online to try to figure it out for two days straight we didn’t get on. No, John the experience in Florida is not better it’s the same lottery system.

I understand your frustration and I have been in your same situation, but I completely disagree with your stance on this. Disney makes it very clear to their customers that reservation spots for their e-ticket rides fill up within seconds before you even buy tickets to the park. It sucks and it’s a huge bummer, but at least they give you ample warning that there is a good chance you won’t be able to do some of the brand-new rides. Second, the $1500 you spent was for the hotel rooms and park tickets, not specifically for the Spider-Man ride and ROTR. If you had bought a spot on those rides specifically then the Endgame analogy would work, but the tickets were for the parks, not the rides. Finally, your solution to be able to book a boarding group when you buy the tickets would be a disaster because it would hurt almost everybody involved. The whole reason Disney has the day-of reservation system is to avoid situations like scalping. If Disney allowed people to book boarding groups for rides when they bought their tickets, it would be nearly impossible for people to get any tickets outside of scalpers upcharging them ridiculously because of a guaranteed spot on the e-ticket attractions. I am sorry that you didn’t get on those new rides and it is far from a perfect system, but these rides are new and it will get better down the line. It sucks that there is no guarantee and I personally missed out on getting on ROTR my first time, but there’s so much other stuff to do at the parks that not getting on a ride or two shouldn’t spoil the whole experience.

He knew how the system worked and he knew he had a small chance and got pissed it filled up so quick. This is how all these things work. Your theatre analogy is bogus because it is an apples to oranges comparison. You are entitled because you live close enough and can afford to go to the park where you don't need the hotel and you have been to the park more times than 90% of families get to go in a lifetime. Advanced tickets to events go on sale all of the time and sell out in seconds that's just how it works. Disney did not promise you that you would get to ride those rides on that day, in fact they go out of their way to tell you that chances are very slim that you will be able to get in to those attractions. They made you no promises, where your theatre analogy falls apart is that when you buy movie tickets you buy them for a specific movie. I am sorry that you feel that you should be able to go on any ride you want whenever you want to but that is not how it works especially on a Saturday, probably the single busiest day of the week. You are entitled because you get to go all the time and that makes you privileged but also gives you a certain sense of entitlement.

Imagine parents saving up to go to Disney land with their kids and they get there and can’t ride anything. They can’t get a refund or move the date. Now they’re out however many thousands of dollars they had to save to try to make their kids happy. For a company that prides itself of being family friendly, that doesn’t sound very family friendly to me

This system is only in place for one ride, if they really packed it up then it would be impossible for most people to get on. That shit would be like a 5-6 hour wait. They already pack up the line for the whole day it’s just first come first served

@@WisemanRyan If I had to guess, way more than 5-6 hours, probably. When I went to Disney World the same year Flight of Passage opened we were lucky to get there early enough to get the first ride of the day, but right after we got off the ride, I saw a sign that said it was about a 9 hour wait to ride. And that was MONTHS after it opened.

Yea but you literally have the same issue if you do this ahead of time. The only difference is it gets fully booked months and years ahead of time lol. I remember when the frozen ride at epcot started. I planned a Disney trip 2 months ahead, and basically every decent ride already had fast passes booked… The way I look at it, this isn’t a scam.. you shouldn’t go to Disney just for one ride. You go for the experience of the whole park. I think, they should just always also have a normal line. Be able to book it ahead as a fast pass type scenario, but if you don’t get it, you can choose to wait 5 hours in line. But idk I guess I don’t take this whole thing as serious as some people.

I do think you should be allowed to get a refund if you can't score a ticket to an attraction you want to experience.

I like this side of you, the non-PC side of you, be more like this more often, just always tell it exactly like it is!

To play devils advocate here. We technically pay to access the park, not specific attractions. We all know that there's never a guarantee we get to get on all the rides the park offers. Come on! we've known this since we were kids. Parks have always been like this. This isn't new.

I have been going to amusement parks especially Disney World for almost 40 yrs. I can tell you from personal experience don't expect to get on a new attraction for at least two years after it opens. Unless you plan on spending your entire day getting on the ride. I used to get season passes to my local Six Flags. If there was a new coaster opening that year. We would take a day to get on that ride. So John expectations were completely unrealistic.

Gotta admit a Campea rant is "well, that escalated quickly" goodness

That commenter sounded like he used almost the equivalent of a scalper bot to get on one of the rides

I get it. Why not charge back the CC? You weren't able to get what you paid for so that should have been an option. Perhaps if more people did that they would straiten out or lose their merchant account.

First off I’m on John’s side in this. However, two popular new attractions, on a Saturday. There was little chance he was getting in. I’m waiting a couple of years to see those attractions, and I’ll still probably go on a less busy day like a weekday.

If you could book a ride ahead of time it would be booked out for weeks, you would get people scalping and many more problems. Maybe the best scenario is somewhere in the middle. Some being prebooked and others like they currently do it.

When this sort of thing happens with concert tickets instantly selling out it's usually because "ticket agencies" (scalpers) used high-speed computers that buys everything out and then resells the tickets at highly inflated prices. I'll bet if you looked around online you'd find people that were reselling those spots in line for those rides.

At the same time you aren’t really paying for the attraction itself, your paying to get into the park that happens to have a really hard to get into attraction...This is why they should get rid of the ques and go back to the regular lines and fast passes ..I feel far less bad waiting in line for 3 hours and then finding out the ride broke down then just not making it thanks to a phone que

don't feel that way. you just need to be prepared and know what you need to do to get a boarding group. I get one every time I go. John just wasn't prepared unfortunately. You get two attempts to get a boarding group 7am and 12pm and the people that have gotten on can't attempt to get one again, making your chances higher.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly. You bought the ticket but failed to get to the ride. Isn't there another times on the same day? Or Disney sells the ticket to the whole park and not exactly a ride specifically?

@PlumbPitiful

2 жыл бұрын

You buy a ticket which gives you entry into the park. Every ride in the park is included free with your ticket. However some of the more popular rides you have to reserve your spot in line through an app on your phone. There are only certain times you're able to do this. John is complaining because each time he tried to reserve a spot it was instantly sold out.

Sorry you had to have such a negative experience on an important outing... that being said I love your content when your "fired up" the passion you display hits a total new level that makes it enjoyable to watch... glad that we the viewers were able to help with your therapy lol.... it also surprises me that if this is such an issue that they don't at least offer some sort of "token" discount towards a future visit or some "cookie" to compensate the issue

Mr. Campea throwing down the gauntlet; I love it!

"...and *hope* there were seats available" - Am confused. Why don't it be clearly stated in the terms, or the agent itself, advice/service the customer beforehand? They love to put the 'responsibility' on the customer's "ignorance" of parting with their hard earned cash to these agents. If the 'fine print' states: First come. First serve. No guarantee you'll get the ride/attraction of your choice *but* ticket(s) are valid for any/all other attractions - It at least gives one the option to decide, beforehand, if it's all worth it?

Agree. I still believe if you stay at a Disney hotel you should automatically give you a pass for the big rides.

Your AMC analogy is flawed. Amusement parks NEVER guarantee that you’ll get to ride that one special ride. Last time I went to WDW, I wanted to ride Splash Mountain. It was down for repairs, so I couldn’t. Disney never guaranteed me that I could ride Splash Mountain, and didn’t break their contract with me. And Rise of the Resistance is *infamous* for breaking down or running on reduced capacity.
