So, who or what ruined Christmas this year?

Disneyland was charging $1850 for five people for one day at Disneyland and one day at California Adventure, genie plus (some kind of fast pass replacement), and then has the gall to make some rides ineligible for the genie plus and instead you have to pay $28 a head for the fast pass. Why can’t we just wait in line? Why did the mouse feel the need to monetize every single interaction in the whole park? As great as the design is in Disneyland, definitely left a sour taste in my mouth knowing that a poor family has an objectively worse experience than a rich one, especially on Christmas. Some rides had a 90, 120 minute wait.

I absolutely genuinely can’t fathom why people would want to go there.

If you genuinely want to know the history & evolution of Fastpass and why it is the way it is: https://youtu.be/9yjZpBq1XBE

And that’s why theme parks never appealed to me. I hate waiting in line even at the checkout at the grocery store. And that’s just 10 minutes.
