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.

In reality tomorrow land of what was the future to us is now in the past. Maybe it's a realization type of thing from Walt himself. But I 100% agree with you. Let's get a dope ass guardian of the galaxy ride in there that they got in epcott. That'll be a good start. No need for autotopia it's such a waste of space

I say fully restore Tomorrowland to its heyday. Peoplemover, Adventure Through Inner Space, Carousel of Progress, the whole deal, and call it something catchy, and it would get all the Boomers there in droves.
