Diehard Disneyland fans are disenchanted with park bosses after they killed a perk on Monday that allowed early entry for on-site hotel guests.
Hotel guests had long enjoyed the Lightning Lane 30-minute head start before gates officially open at the Anaheim, California amusement park, the Daily Mail reported.
The short window was a huge draw for fans who enjoyed free reign of the park before long lines set in. It was widely seen as a major incentive for guests to book stays at pricey on-site hotels instead of more affordable options elsewhere.
Outrage set in after Disney revoked the fan-favorite perk, sending “Disney Adults” reeling online.
“Makes no sense to stay on property then, It’s THE perk. And it was already worse after being cut to 30 mins,” said one Disney-goer on Reddit.
“This really kneecaps the appeal of the on-site hotels. You’re not in the bubble and there are hotels closer to Disneyland than Disneyland Hotel,” said another fan, “I have no idea why you wouldn’t stay somewhere nicer down the street for less money,” they added.
Instead of early entry, Disney is providing hotel guests with one Lightning Lane entry to a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction for staying at one of three hotels: the Disneyland Hotel, Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and the Pixar Place Hotel.
