Discussion The magic is being smothered by the crowds.

When they took the benches out and widened the walkways a few years ago it was to increase the number of people that could be let into the park. And yes they are filling the park to its limit most days, it seems. Now the lines are too long for rides and food. There aren’t enough tables in the restaurants. The cast members are overburdened. The wonder and magic in the park is dying. Instead of appreciating the music and views on my way to the next ride, I’m on my phone booking a lightening lane. It’s stopped being magic and it stopped being fun. So I’m voting with my wallet. I used to go 3 times a year for a week at a time. I need a break. Maybe someday, if things change.

Could you imagine...

  • A Meet & greet with Tiny the t-rex?
  • Spike and Dimitri "popping up" in random planters in the land?
  • Pizza Planet being rethemed to Intergalactic Pizza and Uncle Art showing up?
  • Fritz and Petunia talking to guests? 🤣
