Modern Disney more stressful and less fun for families, says former Imagineer

A former Disney Imagineer has said the operator’s theme parks are more stressful and less fun for families.






A former Disney Imagineer has said the operator’s theme parks are more stressful and less fun for families.

Ryan Harmon, who currently runs Zeitgeist Design and Production told FOX Business that the modern-day experience of planning and attending Disney attractions has become more stressful and less fun, adding that Disney had a “good problem” with too many people coming to the operator’s parks.

“Too many people who want to come at the same time so they try to sort of spread the crowd out,” he said.

“That's why they've added many more experiences, they try to raise the price high enough. That maybe weeds out some people, but that doesn't seem to work, and so they've come up with a system using your mobile phone…the problem is that unless you plan ahead – which a lot of people do not – you end up going there and having a pretty poor experience because people have reserved rides and shows and restaurants.”
