I am overwhelmed. Is there an app for the app???? I went to D-land 7 days after if first opened. I don't think I can stand the changes. Oh for the good old days of E tickets.

My husband and I are over 65 and pretty adept at using technology, but this sounds like all you do is watch your phone and make choices on it.

Nice to read something positive about Disney. Everything I've seen recently is very negative.

Wow. I got tired just reading your trip summary. I like Disneyland but my husband not a fan of lines and crowds. Last trip was with my adult son, when Star Wars opened. Thought it'll be challenging, I will visit again. Thanks for sharing your experience.

This is just depressing. The organic experience (even waiting in line for the "good rides") of exploring each land on one's own timetable has now become part of nostalgia. Goodbye ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

I went to Disneyland the year it opened and nearly every year after that. After reading how it has changed I realize now there is no way I will ever attend again. Making my own decisions about what to see and what to ride and where to eat at any given time is the only way to actually enjoy Disneyland. Staying attached to my phone and all the added expenses for the privilege of not standing in lines is somewhat stupid. If you can't even buy popcorn or a churo without a pay account is way too sad! Bye Bye Disney! I don't think I will miss the hassle it has become.
