-Shake My Head- Disneyland...

Before I start this post, let me just say this...

I LOVE DISNEYLAND

..big surprise, right? 

I was reading this post from my fried Brooklyn about things that first timer Disneyland go-ers should know. While I was reading, I was thinking about the things that bug me about Disneyland. My poor husband hears me rant about this all the time, and I can find a valid explanation for some of my "complaints" from a business stand point... but these are some things that just makes my skin bubble..

1. Long Lines
   Okay, I totally understand that the rides are amazing are so worth the wait. But can someone please explain to me why there needs to be a 3 hour wait for a ride that lasts maybe 5 minutes tops? Or did we all just completely forget how to walk or lift our butts off the seats at the end of the ride...
2. Rope DropAm I the only one who thinks that having a rope at the end of Main Street is a dumb idea? Yes? Well.. think about this. Rope drop is one loooooong rope at the end of Main Street. If you want to go to Tomorrowland, you move toward the right. If you want to go to Adventureland, you go to the left. So now we've stuffed hundreds of people with strollers/wheelchairs/backpacks/etc. onto Main Street and we're practically hugging each other from behind a little closer than anyone is comfortable with.. #awkward. MOVE THE DANG ROPE. We fatty Americans need some breathing room... So why not have a rope at each entrance to each of the different lands? #ProblemSolved
3. Food Prices
   Like I said, business side of things..over priced water makes sense. But as a guest... $4 for water? Really? I mean.. come on.. 
4. Luigi's Flying Tires
   Okay.. if you guys took this ride away from Disneyland in the 1960s.. WHY WOULD YOU BRING IT BACK? #It'sStillADumbRide
5. Ticket Price Increase
   Ohhhh this makes me so angry.. 
   So you've raised the prices to hopefully gain better crowd control.. I get it. But lets look at it this way:
   
   Prices before the changed rate:
   Most likely crowded 90% of the year which means ridiculous lines for anything and everything. For us guests = Suck Fest. For you as a business? More people=more money.
   
   Am I the only one who thinks that with the increased rate change, even if the crowds were better controlled, there would be more days of an 'empty' park? Which is great for us guests, but on the business side.. you now have less people buying tickets, which means there are less people in your park, which means you're making less money. In the words of Timon, "Did I miss something?" 

...rant over. 

 But I'm still going in 28 days.
