Sorry, this upset you so much. That being said, if you go to a theme park for only two rides that are hard (sometimes impossible) to get onto... you're really stacking the deck against yourself. The rest of the parks have so much to offer - I hope you enjoyed everything else. Nothing is guaranteed and you have to make the best of it. I was just in WDW two months ago and it was REALLY hard to get on RoTR - but I had to tell myself... it's not the end of the world. And for a week-long vacation for four, we spent wat more than $1,500.

@@spn2240 not necessarily. Most of the rest of the park was open to regular lines. This particular, very popular ride is virtual queue at this time and fills up quick because they can’t put 8 strangers into a car for physical distance requirements. If you’re a in a party of 3, they have no choice but to put you in your own car, which makes the ride fill up fast. The rest of the park was great. We went on June 8th, and wait times for all the rides were under 20 minutes. Longest wait we had was for autopia at about 30 minutes. The park was at 25% max capacity and I’ve never seen it so quiet and uncrowded in all my life.

Ok, former banker here, advise time. For big ticket items, always pay with your bank card. Prior to that, make sure you have an awesome relationship with your bank, be it the institution itself or at least one employee there. Always try for your initial refund from the point of service and, should that fail, contact your bank. Any bank worth their salt, especially if you've years of service with them, and in areas such as lines of credit, loans, mortgages, they become your living champion. You won't have to do more than a phone call or email, the bank will do the heavy lifting and get your dollars refunded. Believe it. And I'm sorry you had such a shabby experience on your anniversary.

Any time you have a disappointment at the Disney parks, you should go talk to a cast member about it. Calmly express to them what happened and the reasons it caused such disappointment. My experience is that at the least they will try to offer you something even if it's not the original thing you were hoping for.

They are instead focused on Star Wars land and Avengers Campus. It's understandable about spots selling instantly. The Cantina did that, RoR has always been like that. However, now that people are buying individual day passes, there needs to be a better implementation of services (like Rob said) about moving the ticket date if still early in the morning, having a preselection of 3-5 or so rides, etc. To have the argument that hey, supply and demand, suck it up? That's not a magical experience. That's expected from a low rate amusement park, not Disneyland. They need better implementations.

With Hargrids ride and their new velocicoaster they are making it a virtual line. Its just a new method theme parks are starting to choose I think. I guess I just feel like there are so many other rides and things to do in disney like, why not stay and just try and have a good time after dropping all the money you did. On top of that staying on site as well at a disney hotel.

But John is surprised he couldn’t go on the two most popular rides in Disneyland? I agree with people who are saying that he shouldn’t be judged because he’s fortunate enough to afford a trip like this, when so many other people can’t even pay their bills. John earns his money and he has the right to spend it however he wants, but nonetheless this does come off as a little tone deaf. I love you, John, but I think you’re fair game in the comments on this one.

I think that the more sensible system would have been to lower the general admission ticket price and treat these premium rides as addons. That way, if you buy the addon, then you should get to ride it. They can then sell these addons based on capacity. That feels fairer to everybody.

The thing is and this is coming from a person who usually visits the parks, going on a ride shouldn’t be a lottery “by chance” system, people are paying money to experience new attractions that are being marketed to them as a reason to visit, only to go and be told the boarding system filled up within 10 seconds. You shouldn’t have to “do your homework” to experience a big attraction that is in demand. No one gives two flying shits if your family is ok with missing out on the new rides but John is clearly a huge fan of these franchises and after paying a lot of money for the trip to experience them, he deserves to ride it like anyone else even if there is a long line, instead of being told no because of their stupid lottery system

Plus, with the ride notorious for how frequently it breaks down, a standby line would still be a gamble that you could even get on it.

Back when we did ROTR at WDW you had to be IN THE PARK as in you tickets have been spent to enter the park for the system to allow you get a boarding pass for the ride (this was within a few months of ROTR first opening). Perhaps that's what happened? We woke up at 5am to make sure we could 1. get in with time to spare and 2. get in the early line for the Slinky Dog Coaster. We had our trip planned for months and it was a big 6 day trip with my crew of 6 (we try to go once every 2-3 years). Luckily everything worked out and we got to ride everything we wanted. Never been to Disneyland but we have always had fun at WDW, it just takes a lot of planning since there are 4 parks to divide your time.

Smuggler's Run, another popular Star Wars ride that is not quite as new, but still pretty new, had a 20 minute line you could just stand in. The problem here is that this ride is SUPER popular at the moment, and they can't stuff 8 strangers into each car like they normally would--so they have to use this virtual queue method, otherwise the line would snake around the entire park because of the ride's popularity and the distancing rules the park has to observe. While it's not great, it is better than the alternative in this unique situation where they have to adhere to distance and capacity rules.

Please don’t go to Disneyland or Disney world in June, of course the virtual reservation is all booked but Disney did to you for not refunding you or change your date was definitely disgusting, I work at Disney world and I would say the bad months to visit to Disney world or Disneyland is may, June, July, and august, a lot of parents and other family members would take their children to those parks when they are out from school and wedding seasons would start at that time so you would see groups people for bachelorette or bachelor party and also a lot of group of college students would also visit . The best time to go to those park is September, October (not Disney world, they celebrating their 50th anniversary), January, and February, save you a lot of time and probably it get you a better chance to book reserve to those rides in Disneyland and Disney world.

I'm a DisneyWorld Passholder and thankfully they did not cancel their AP, but they did stop selling them. They do the same here right now with Park hopping only being available after 2 pm. But unlike DL the parks are huge and there are more options if you're unable to get on an attraction. DisneyWorld offers much more than just the 4 theme parks too.

I’ve been to Disney land in LA several times, however I don’t live in the USA, I’m usually coming from Australia or Europe. And every time I go they always have some new updated bs about how to queue in line or new virtual queuing etc. if I got there now after paying for international flights, hotels, tickets etc and they said “oh no you have to use an app now to book your spot in a queue, and then the app tells me it’s all booked” well Disney customers and staff would get to see a special attraction called “Hulk Rage” and I would literally tear that place apart. Yeah since the pandemic I’ve thought about going back to experience the new Star Wars and marvel stuff but if this the system now, like John I’ll avoid Disney and just spend my time at universal.

I haven't been to Disneyland in ages. But living on the East Coast, I'd been to Disneyworld (and Epcot and the International thingy) many times and I felt like Disneyworld was so much better -- cleaner, better taken care of, rides in better shape, etc. But again, haven't been to either one in a long, long time, so take that for what it's worth. That said, I did go to College on the west coast (Caltech in Pasadena), and I'll always remember that Disneyland would open up the park to all members of the Caltech and JPL community for free once a year. And even though there would always be a major ride or two going through maintenance, I'd have a grand old time. All I had to do is pay some nominal amount for one of the buses that the school rented, and that was it. As I said, it was never anywhere near as great as Disney World+ in Florida. But you can't argue with free. One thing I remember about those evenings is that friends and I would ride on something like Space Mountain or that Mountain thing (forget the name) over and over again as much as we wanted because there were virtually no lines. Fun times. As far as your situation is concerned, keep complaining loudly. That's the only way you'll get them to change.

I signed in at 12:55 pm to get my sister a spot when the next virtual queue opened at 1 pm. I was in NYC. She was at Disney world with her kids. And managing kids at Disney is crazy enough. Luckily I got them a spot but it is a stressful system.

They may not be able to do Avengers at Disney World because of the weird, and infinitely renewable, agreement which Marvel made with Universal Studios years before Disney bought Marvel. Only in the United States, and only east of the Mississippi, Universal has the rights to the Marvel Comics characters for use in theme parks. Universal never optioned the characters for any of their other parks, and the options expired, so you see Disney using Marvel characters all over the planet, but not at WDW. The very nuanced approach going on in Orlando seems to be a gentleman’s arrangement. You’ll never see Marvel Studios versions of characters at Universal Orlando, and you’ll never see Marvel Comics versions of characters at WDW.

Who are these scalpers that have been mentioned in some of the comments? Or the people blaming bots? These aren’t like sneakers; you have an account through the Disneyland app, you click at one of the given times and you either get assigned a boarding group or you don’t. There’s no secondary market for Rise of the Resistance access.

thank you for sharing your experience John, my girlfriend and I were planning on making a trip to disney land, but if its all just going to be an ebay bid war we will use our money somehwere else.

Disneyland sucks. Walt Disney World in Orlando is so much better. They've handled the queues and everything so much better. You can actually get on the rides you want to ride. They also still have annual passes. And they have 4 full-sized parks, which are all awesome, instead of two small parks, one of which has only like one area worth going to. WDW is a must visit if you've never been there.

Disney World isn’t selling annual passes rn. The rumor is that they will remove annual passes out right

Last time I went to Disneyland before COVID hit with my family we had literally no idea that we had to make reservations for rise of the resistance ahead of buying the park tickets and so because of that we never got on the ride we were really looking the most forward to

Great to hear youalls thoughts on multiple topics.. I did not read if this has been answered below... but is this the same format Disneyland has currently for rides.. sorry for your jacked up experience.

I definitely understand the frustration and your decision but if you read the information upon buying a ticket, you are not guaranteed anything.

But you have the tickets, they know you are going they supposed to have the logistics of the capacity that day, that's bs

Pretty much sums up why I stopped going to DL years ago. On my last visit there I realized why did I pay hundreds of dollars only to wait in huge lines, pay ridiculous prices for food and parking, only to be corralled and herded around like sheep. I have had much less stressful experiences at Knotts, Universal and Magic Mountain. But DL, no thanks!

This is most of the worlds experience trying to buy a PS5, only you paid triple to get screwed. I feel your pain

I went to Disneyland last Friday, was able to get a boarding pass for Rise but the ride kept breaking down even when the time passed, cancelled it and tried for Web Slingers at 12, and wasn’t able to get a pass. I do agree with you John that they should give those who already have reservations the chance to reserve their spots on those rides or at least give people the option to get their refund back if they had an unpleasant experience. Even when I didn’t get a pass for Web Slingers, I literally waited for 2+ hours in line to get into Avengers Campus, which was absolutely insane

Did you try to get on the later que ?? Dont they have more than one que per day ?

Guess if u gotta check in at certain times then they love it when park slammed any way possible lol.

You and Ann should try Disney World in Orlando. The people treat you better, its a better experience, and you may have a better chance on getting on the rise of the resistence ride at Disney Hollywood studios. Plus you should try out Islands of Adventure next to Universal Studios where they have Marvel Islands and you can go on the original Spiderman Attraction. Yeah it's not the MCU spiderman. But you feel like you're in the comics with spiderman and the villans. At the end of the ride you can hear Stan Lee's. Voice as you exit the ride

Disneyland people are just as nice as World! His complaining doesn’t mean cast members aren’t nice.

This happened to me at Disneyworld a month ago but we got in on the 1:00pm round. I feel bad for anyone that doesn't know how it works ahead of time and shows up expecting to ride.

Sounds like how buying a ps5 or xbox S/X is right now expect you get charged for just being on the website that sells them

I just don't get why it cost 1.5k, I just checked Disney's website and 2 park hopper tickets would come at 418, how did it get that expensive? (Genuinely curious, I have never been to Disneyland)

Go to DisneyWorld Orlando. I went a couple years ago and it was a ton of fun.

You know you can try again at 2pm for ROTR right? Its near impossible to get on at 7am, we failed at that too. But you can get in the que for ROTR at 7am ANYWHERE! But at 2pm you can try again, and for the 2pm time you HAVE to be in the park. So it doesnt fill up as fast. It still fills up fast, but not in 5 seconds, more like 3 minutes. And I was able to book a spot for ROTR at 2pm. Booking for the 2pm booking is better.

the virtual cue is going to stay, they been doing this before covid shut down their parks. the only reason people are frustrated is because everyone wants to go. Disney is not doing anything to help the overcrowding situation and to be honest the annual pass is the biggest problem. it got worse when that started to happen, driving people away because it's to crowded, i think Disney is headed in a downfall if they dont do something soon.

Yea, seen videos that the parks get slammed as if no other parks to check out any day. i guess with pass they try have blocked days to control traffic but then everyone seemd to go same days not blocked so still slammed any.

The last time I went to Disney was in 2015 and I honestly had a miserable time. It was just way too crowded. I barely got to do anything.

you can queue from your home, no need to be onsite and you can cancel the reservation and go another day

Most of that money was them spending a night at a very expensive hotel.

Web slingers is garbage, you didn't miss anything. But rise is so popular there's no good way to be fair about it. I've been on it its amazing. Best time to go is off season once kiddos go back to school.

one week later John will receive free tickets & allowed on whatever he wants as long as he removes this video and social media posts and creates a positive video instead. In a way you are one of the lucky ones John living so close to these attractions, a lot of people travel across the world, saving for years to go on holiday and then experience this

This could’ve easily been avoided by simply being apart of the community. It doesn’t take but a few comment checks and video clicks to find out that those 2 rides go IMMEDIATELY. I’m talking 60 seconds max. At that point you should’ve enjoyed the day. Disney isn’t back to normal operations yet so trying to plan specifics at this moment is a damper on anyone’s trip. Just enjoy the happiest place on earth.

It shouldn’t be like that though. You are paying good money to go on these new marketed experiences only to be unlucky in a lottery draw. Saying to be “part of the community” is just stupid.

@@john.michael01As someone who went to Disneyland once a year for my nephews birthday four years running, I can promise you it was NOT like this before COVID restrictions. The Virtual line allows people to book a spot in line for something they want to ride WITHOUT the hassle of waiting for two to three hours in line, thus that primary factor of warding off the impatient does not apply, thus every spot in line fills up. Add to that less overall operation time due to employees needing to check, verify and process virtual tickets with the guests. The ride is probably only sending through 60% operation of what it was pre-covid with the same overall guest attendance... Without the virtual ticket, if you're just PATIENT enough, you can pretty much guarantee yourself a spot in any ride cause standing in line. One day we'll be there again... until then, DON'T plan on being able to ride the new shit reliably.

I’ve only ever gone to Disney world, I’ve never been to California. We got to the park at 6:30ish and when it opened at 7:00 we were able to get our spot in line pretty easy and got on the ride in the afternoon. Sadly for everybody else the ride broke down after we came off, but hopefully they got it up and running again because when we were leaving later that night there was a long line at the ride. This was in January 2020 so I’m not sure what it’s like post pandemic

There is SO much that people are not understanding. At the time of this video, Disneyland is physically distancing EVERYTHING. They can’t fit 8 strangers onto one ride car on RotR. So if you’re a group of 3, they HAVE to put you in your own car. That’s why it’s filling up so fast. There is simply a physical capacity that is being reached very quickly because of the distancing requirements. That’s just the reality right now. Nobody likes it, but it’s reality. Let’s grow up, guys.

Definitely sucks and just another reason why I hate going to the big parks (lines and people lol) but how can Disney assume that someone is buying ticket for one or two single rides, when they have 2 parks with hundreds of rides and attractions. Maybe they need to make a specific ticket that is for those rides only and you are only able to enter the park if you get in the que?

Sounds like Disney needs a few more parks open, if there was more Disney parks I feel more people would go to them. The problem is there's like 3 Big Disney parks and everyone plans trips to go them, which makes them packed at all times.

The silence from Rob speaks volumes.

Right? I miss when their were no reservations, you could get in free on your birthday, and every line could be a single rider line. It’s not fun anymore. It’s boring. I heard Universal Studious is way better so I’ll be going there. Love Knotts scary farm to do I’ll be saving money for that. I’ll work for Disney but could care less about the parks I’m POF

I’m sorry. But everyone knows it’s not guaranteed you’ll get on Spider-Man or Rise of the Resistance. So if that’s the only reason you’re going to Disney, you’re setting yourself up for failure. And I don’t feel like it’s like a concert. If I don’t get into those rides, I know there’s a lot of other things to do.

Disney world blows Disney land out of the water... been too both. It’s 💯 worth the trip to Orlando...

John i agree, i live in Australia and i would be so annoyed if i traveled all that way and i couldnt get to do at least one of the rides i wanted. If you book ahead and want specific rides you should be able to book a time slot and at the time of booking your passes and if there are no available rides times that you want at least then you can change your booking to suit your needs.

Same shit went down with the vaccine slot booking in India until the central government stepped in.

That thumbnail though😂😂

This would really annoy me too. Especially as someone who doesn't live in LA. When you go on an overseas holiday you want to be able to book all the things you want to do because you might never be able to come back.

As a card-carrying roller coaster enthusiast and someone who may not have been to CA but is originally from FL and still knows Disney quite well, I don't see you as missing much if that ends up being your decision. I'd sooner go to either Knott's, CA's Great America or both of the Six Flags before stepping foot into any of the Disney parks.

Happy Anniversary John!

That is some BS...I haven't been to Universal Studios and Disney World in Orlando in a long time but when I went like a decade ago it was awesome. There was so much stuff there that it was impossible not to have fun on some awesome ride or attraction.

That’s the same reason why I don’t like comic con anymore. Trying to get tickets for that is very similar

It's like trying to buy tickets for San Diego Comic Con

What I would do to go back to Disneyland. I was there in 2003. My tickets were given to me and my family for free by Roy E. Disney, Walt Disney's nephew thanks to The Make A Wish Foundation. There's a LOT I would want to do. Though...I heard that most of these changes that you had were due to Chapek. I've not looked into it, but I've heard friends on a forum share similar sentiments about the changes Chapek made to Disney Parks.

Bots must be buying up all of the rides after they bought up all the video cards.

Rise of the Resistance also has enough technical problems that you don’t know how many people are going to get to ride that ride from day to day. There are many people who got into the virtual queue only to lose their seat because the rise was shut down. Also, a *lot* of B-ride experiences when the A-ride animatronics break down.

Ah yes. As a sneakerhead I know of this pain you speak of
