over the years, Disney It has developed techniques to reduce or even eliminate queues at tourist attractions due to the large influx of visitors to its parks.
Initially, visitors paid an entrance fee at the main gate and a small fee for each attraction.
It turns out that this practice was abandoned in favor of ticket books, allowing visitors to access attractions in order of priority.
In addition, another notable innovation is the virtual queue, known as FastPass, which allows visitors to reserve a specific boarding time at an attraction through an app.
The real reason behind Disney's huge lines
Despite the effectiveness of these methods, there are still lines at Disney parks for practical reasons.
Disney has invested a lot of time and money to turn the time spent in line into an experience itself, complete with entertainment for guests, convenience stores, and attraction-related extras.
Apparently, there is a very clear motive for the queues to continue at Disney: For a park to feel full and crowded, there must be customers who are excited to get to the next attraction.
After all, without lines, that feeling of movement and activity would not be conveyed in the same way, affecting the overall perception of the park experience.
