  • I wish…once….they would publish how many tickets they sell for this event. I went one time, and it was a little more crowded than I had anticipated, and I think the “limited amount” is somewhere around “how many they can sell”. This will be another version of the holiday parties pretty soon.

    Its a GREAT idea, and if the crowds stay low, I’d pay to do it again. I think they should be more transparent about what they are selling though.

  • So…I have to pay more money per day now to visit a park in peak times (because of the new pricing structure) that’s open fewer hours because they’re hacking off hours at each end to charge me an extra $120+ for a few less crowded hours.
    And paying to park at the resort.
    No. Thank. You.
