Top 10 Disney Rookie Mistakes (and Why the Lines Feel Worse Than Ever) Transcript
Lauren Hersey: Welcome to Dis and Hers, the show about what’s happening in the Disney community from his, hers, and your perspective. I’m Lauren.
Eric Hersey: And I’m Eric and today’s show we’re breaking down the biggest Disney rookie mistakes that can completely ruin your trip and why Disney cues feel like they’re getting worse, maybe not better.
Lauren Hersey: Before we get started, we want to remind you that Dis and Hers can be found on all your favorite podcast platforms and also in video format on YouTube and Spotify. We’d love it if you could head over to Apple, give us a quick review, and let us know what you want to hear us talk about on future episodes.
Lauren Hersey: All right, so let’s get into it. If you’ve ever gone to Disney with someone who’s never been before, you know exactly how fast things can go off the rails.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, well, they say you don’t know what you don’t know. Is that right? The whole scenario here.
Lauren Hersey: That is it. And it is some of the most challenging, like, patience exuding that we could do as adults when we’re visiting the parks with non-Disney people.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, yeah, so we thought it would be pretty fun from from afar from from afar not there to see some of people’s rookie mistakes And kind of look to see what what what people were doing at the parks that would make us normally cringe or like No and smack our forehead. So what did you do? You went on our favorite place the reddit?
Lauren Hersey: Well, not just Reddit. I like scoured the interwebs to track down the biggest Disney rookie mistakes that you’ve seen in the park. So the initial question came from BMGB8D, not his original last grade name there, but they asked the question and now I went to, I mean, YouTube videos and websites and
Lauren Hersey: Obviously this post had 779 comments. Obviously we’re not going to read them all, but I used our favorite chat GPT platform to take all of the information that I found on the interwebs and boil them down to the top 10 rookie mistakes.
Eric Hersey: you got a top 10 list for us. All right, so we’re doing a TPM vid style top 10, huh? Where’s our cue?
Lauren Hersey: TPM vid style top 10 biggest Disney rookie mistakes based on what you think as the Disney community. And if we missed any or you think we’re totally off base here, make sure that you let us know what your biggest rookie mistake is for our Disney guests. But let’s start at number 10, Eric.
Eric Hersey: Well, we have it as not bringing the basics. this is, I guess, as we pull all these comments, these 700 comments, they’re talking about like maybe not bringing their water bottles or maybe snacks. Like, what do you consider basics here? Sunscreen? I could see that being a big one.
Lauren Hersey: Yes. that is a big one. One that was we are not mentioning in the top 10 was you never burn. So not bringing sunscreen, that is a mistake. But I will lump that into not bringing the basics. So a lot of people don’t know that you can bring food, drinks, that kind of stuff into the parks. So looking at there’s a million videos about what to park.
Lauren Hersey: what to pack in your park bag for us. like sanitizer, definitely medicine is a really important one. Because I mean, you could get your basic medical needs at first aid, but always bringing medicine that you would need during the day. Gum, think is a big one because they do not sell gum in the theme parks.
Lauren Hersey: What other basics, Eric, do you think people could be forgetting?
Eric Hersey: I don’t know. this one is, this one is, you know me, I’m pretty, yes, I don’t bring anything.
Lauren Hersey: Cause you’re a guy, you’re not bringing anything, but I’m bringing the backpack, the fanny pack,
Eric Hersey: I was gonna say like all this stuff seems pretty good. I’ve gone to first aid to get medicine before. mean sunscreen you can buy it there. But yeah, I think for me like something like that you normally would have like a hat maybe, you you don’t necessarily want to have to spend $30 on getting a hat. So if you didn’t bring the basics there, so I could see a lot of scenarios where you’re, but for the most part, besides like gum, you’re gonna be able to get a lot of this stuff in the park somewhere. But I could see if you don’t bring
Eric Hersey: water bottles or let’s say you have a cooler or something like that, you are going to end up spending so much more money. So I don’t know if it’s a, I’m going to have a horrible experience because I forgot said thing, but we all know like when ponchos come around and it starts raining and you didn’t bring a poncho, well, you’re now buying one. So I don’t think this is a, it’s going to ruin my trip. think it will just ruin the bank account a little bit more. where I think the next one will sure. The next one is going to ruin like your trip.
Lauren Hersey: It’s also comfort level.
Lauren Hersey: All right, so speaking of the next one, this is so important. Wearing the wrong shoes. I cannot tell you how many people said this. So it’s not just like, wear tennis shoes, which I mean, I cannot tell you the amount.
Lauren Hersey: of women that I’ve seen wearing like dressy sandals and things into the park. I mean, these young girls have a little bit of a platform, like a heel situation going on, but this is going beyond just wearing tennis shoes. I think that it’s super, super important to wear tennis shoes that are broken in.
Lauren Hersey: Like don’t get yourself some new kicks like on clouds or Nikes or and then just wear them into the park because even if they’re comfortable at home, I guarantee you are not walking 13,000 steps a day on your like normal day unless you do that for for work and then you’re going to need go back to the basics. Then you’re going to need, you know, blister sticks and
Lauren Hersey: the Moleskin patches for your blisters. And I’m telling you, it will ruin your trip if you have blisters on your feet. At least for me, because I’m the one that’s always getting the blisters.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, could have met. Yeah, me, once again, I’m the one that can wear my Converse All-Stars with no type of padding whatsoever, and it could be completely fine. But I do know that there are scenarios where, you know, I wouldn’t want to wear sandals the whole time or Crocs the whole time. I know some people do that, and that is perfectly fine for some. But if you are someone who, you know, is very much have feet problems or, you know, your feet get worn out pretty easily, probably breaking your shoes ahead of time.
Lauren Hersey: Yeah, I mean, again, like maybe it’s just me. I’m like, I’m the problem because I have the like feet and back problems. And if I wear the wrong type of shoes, even for a short period of time, I’m paying for the rest of the very expensive vacation. Like I cannot imagine wearing flip flops into the park all day. But I mean, I guess I’m I know I’m not alone because the Disney community came out in a big way talking about shoes. So what do we got for eight?
Eric Hersey: Well, I think this one I touched a little bit earlier with the ponchos, but it’s not planning for the weather. I, well, I guess that’s probably where I really fall into concern. Cause I talked about sunscreen earlier in ponchos. So I’m more of a weather control guy where I’m like, all right, we want to be prepared here. Cause there’s nothing worse than getting wet. I absolutely hate it. And I know some people are like, I’m going to go on Colley river rapids and I’m going to get soaked. Not a chance. Like I am not trying to get a wet t-shirt. Wet shoes are the worst. Absolute worst. talk about wrong shoe gear.
Eric Hersey: Like I’m just not into it. So that’s the extreme of like if it’s super hot out I also think we’ve been down there when we’re like, it’s gonna be super nice out and it gets really cold at night and you then are
Lauren Hersey: I was just going to say Disneyland. actually was like taking pictures and thinking about like making a video about the weather. Like Disneyland is different than Disney World because typically, I mean, not in the middle of the summer, but their mornings are really chilly as well as the evenings. And so they have those, uh, $80, $90 zip up hoodies that have like the big and broader Disneyland on the back. And then the, um,
Lauren Hersey: I’m like, if you don’t check the weather before you go, you’re going to be one of the thousand people that I see buying those in the evening when you just can’t take it anymore.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, and I’m super thrifty and we’ve been down at Disney World maybe in November or February when it gets cold at night and I’m almost eyeballing all those darn jackets. like, I want to buy that.
Lauren Hersey: don’t lie. You absolutely have bought one.
Eric Hersey: Well, I bought one, but I also brought that because I like it. So I’m not going to just say it was poor planning. But yes, you need to check the weather every single day and prepare for that and come prepared. So what’s the next thing?
Lauren Hersey: Okay, so number seven is not knowing the park layout.
Lauren Hersey: There are a lot of people that said this in different ways, so I’m kind of paraphrasing here, but not like Googling the park or the property layout ahead of time. So looking at the park specifically, like say that you are a West coaster coming to the East coast and you think that you’re easily going to be able to walk between the Magic Kingdom or Epcot, Animal Kingdom. Like you’re going to be, I mean, shocked.
Lauren Hersey: waste a lot of time and effort knowing that you now need to get on a bus or the Skyliner to get where you need to go or get a minivan and then like going down to the park specifically even if you have a plan but you don’t know where any of the things that you want to do are it’s going to make your trip it’s me it’s all about
Lauren Hersey: the time savings and if you have lightning lane and say that you’re in Tomorrowland but then you book Big Thunder Mountain because it’s open and you can get it in the next half an hour and so then you’re just walking across this giant park back and forth like not only are you wasting time I feel like that’s the definition of insanity am I right here?
Eric Hersey: Well, I think I remember doing it early days when we would go and I would set up my touring plans and set up my day calculation, like what we’re going to do and optimize for stuff. And you can set how much do want to walk and how much you want to minimize waiting. And I always was like, I’ll minimize waiting. would rather walk. Well, a couple of trips of doing that and you realize, all right, I’m going to space all the way to splash. And then you realize how, like, if you look at your watch and say, how many steps did I take that day? It skyrockets. So when you don’t know the park layout, that is primarily when you hear these
Eric Hersey: people that are walking 20, 30,000 steps in a day. If you understand the layout and kind of understand how you should maybe practically do things in the park, you can find yourself not walking nearly as much and or wasting the time going back and forth, back and forth. So I think that’s proper. Now that is a, it is a rookie mistake, but also like, don’t, you can’t like, no one’s going to research a map and know everything the first time they go or the second time. So I think this is almost more of a, like once you get the lay of the land, you will have
Lauren Hersey: Yeah.
Eric Hersey: have a better understanding. So this is a rookie mistake that I don’t think a lot of people can really avoid per se.
Lauren Hersey: Exactly, especially like leading into the next one, which is not using the app. I cannot tell you how many people that I have personally witnessed that didn’t know that there was the My Disney Experience app. Like they didn’t even know it existed. So they’re definitely not understanding the lay of the land at the park because
Lauren Hersey: outside of like walking into the park and physically grabbing like your guide map? Like how would you know otherwise? So the question I have for you Eric is do you think you can have an enjoyable time at Disney World, any of the parks today without using the my Disney experience app?
Eric Hersey: well, mean, enjoyable. Sure, you could enjoy yourself, but you will if you’re an efficiency person, you’re certainly not going to because like, how would you know the wait times of like Small World? You know, if you’re back in Dumbo and you’re like, hey, Small World is only 10 minutes now. Let’s head over there. Like there’s not boards everywhere. There are, think, in Hollywood studios in a couple areas, there’s like those boards that give you the wait times like back in the olden days where they had it all there. But now it’s you’re pretty much using your app, let alone think of all the time we save from a mobile order perspective.
Eric Hersey: and not having to wait in line. So sure, you could have a good time, but you’ll have a much better time if you understood the app. Now, I’m sure the traditionalists are gonna say, well, everybody’s got their face in their phones all day and stuff. And I think that’s overrated. Like we’re on our phones because we’re stuck in line and we’re probably scanning through reels or TikTok for that matter. I don’t think you essentially are always on your phone while you’re at Disney, but you should definitely have it handy. It can’t be like stowed away in a backpack. You’re gonna need it in your pocket because you will probably need it, you know, a couple of times an hour
Lauren Hersey: Yeah.
Eric Hersey: to navigate the park per se.
Lauren Hersey: Yeah. And it is something you need to do on your phone before you get to the park is number five, which is not understanding reservations and dining. Like you just need to know if you don’t have reservations for a table service dining, most likely you are not going to eat where you want to eat. And then people get caught off guard and then it, you know, essentially can damper the trip. don’t want to say ruin. feel like that’s a
Lauren Hersey: hard line and stand.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, see, this is the one that like, I don’t know. Traditionally, if you’re
Eric Hersey: Obviously if you’re putting money into going to Walt Disney World or Disneyland at that point time I do feel like you you owe yourself a little bit of research you should do that but traditionally when you go to like let’s say another theme park let’s say a cedar point or a Kennywood or Six Flags or whatever you’re not normally saying hey I’m not gonna be able to eat if I don’t get a reservation so I do think this is a little odd but I also think if you don’t research and you’re just going to Disney I mean we’re all out here screaming from the the rooftops now hey Disney is not like your traditional
Eric Hersey: theme park by now the year 2026 you should know this if you’re going for the first time so I would do some research so I feel bad but I don’t feel bad for the whole reservations and dining you should know better but it’s still not a normal thing for most theme parks so I can kind of give you a pass
Lauren Hersey: Yes. All right. Next one is underestimating time. And I think this is probably one that like, unless you are looking at the videos and you’re doing the prep, like you wouldn’t know. But I think, and I mean, even us being seasoned pass holders that like,
Lauren Hersey: I think we’ve even struggled with like everything takes longer than you think at Disney walking transportation lines like so say that you want to rope drop Len did this analysis about like a rope drop strategy but it very much has to do with where you are at in the rope drop line are you at the front or the back because that can significantly add you know time or change the strategy so like
Lauren Hersey: People think they’re gonna rope drop but they don’t get out of bed until eight.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, yeah, that’s that’s gonna cause some issues. So not only this knowing that it takes longer I always think the buses and and the trams And the boat rides are always like you always say well I’m gonna get on the boat and it just happens every time you’re at like a boardwalk or the swan and dolphin and you want to head to Hollywood Studios or Epcot and you’re like well I’m gonna get on the boat and you just think that that’s gonna be quicker. No, dude It’s not one thing that I typically can rely on is the walking like I like Estimating how long things take from a walking perspective
Lauren Hersey: Right.
Eric Hersey: is a lot easier than navigating the skyway or a boat or a bus. That stuff is just, you have to give yourself so much of a caution, like 15 minutes on the front and back end. It could go either way for you. So, but you were talking about rope dropping. That is the number three. And I would say one of the most imperative things, like if you’re gonna go to Disney and you really wanna maximize your value, I don’t wanna hear it that you like to sleep in. you can’t sleep in.
Eric Hersey: You need to get to the parks early and by not doing that you are, listen, you are just asking for trouble. So if you’re not a morning person.
Lauren Hersey: And I see, I see those parents with these little kids all the time in the food court, like enjoying their breakfast. And unless you really genuinely do not care about what you experience in the day, like, you know, we have friends that go and they’re more leisurely, you know, travelers. They have annual passes, but they don’t like ride a lot of rides and they’re happy to just go and do a couple things. but if
Lauren Hersey: you want to make the most to get the most out of your money, like you gotta wake up early. And like when I’m saying early, I’m saying like six, 15, six, 30, depending when a rope drop is.
Eric Hersey: Yeah.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, we efficiency people and check mark list people like, you know, OCD like myself, we can’t be sleeping in like that. We got to get there, get our stuff done, and then we can leisure once we get our stuff done. yeah, rope drop is where you can get some of those hard to get rides get done really easy. So like we were just saying, you know, I’m check listing stuff and for the most part, early…
Eric Hersey: five, six, seven years, there was always lots of planning going on. would religiously go through touring plan and basically have our days all lined up, print them out, have them all set up. So number two is for those that act opposite, show out, show up without a plan. So the individuals on the forums basically are saying they, if you think you can just show up without any research or plans and you think that’s going to work out, good luck to you. think that’s causing somewhat of a problem. You see any horror stories like that
Lauren Hersey: yeah, I mean every day of the week showing up with out of plan. And then people get, they get mad and then they get frustrated and it could be around anything. Like it’s kind of a compilation of, you know, dining reservations, park reservations, how long it takes, like knowing those things. But.
Eric Hersey: Well, those are your friends and family that aren’t Disney people that come back and say, well, Disney was the worst thing ever or the ones that show up without a plan because, you know, and it goes along with the number one, which is basically those who think you’re going to get to do everything, whether it be in one park or like, hey, we just we’re going to get to the magic kingdom and we’re going to get it all done from nine till nine. Good luck. You did not do your research. You’re going to leave disappointed. There are going to be things you could not and will not do. And those are typically the ones that come back and be like mad about their experience and I think it’s because you didn’t set your right expectations.
Lauren Hersey: like you are planning a Disney trip, say you go three days, which a lot of people do, or maybe four and you have a pull day in between, like thinking that you’re going to do everything that Disney has to offer in that time is not possible. So while we were talking, I did just Google, cause I remembered somebody talking about the three, two, one role at Disney. this is, this is what the community says is the best way to approach it. So, it’s three rides. So must do,
Lauren Hersey: attractions, two entertainment choices, so shows, characters or parades, and one table service meal or special snack. And that is like the easiest way to plan a day and then anything else beyond those things. Those are like your non negotiables. They’re a bonus. But
Eric Hersey: So what do you call it when you just get yourself a cream cheese pretzel and go on the people mover and just ask to keep going? that a good? Yeah, that is my strategy and that makes a good day for me. But we want to know, that was top 10 from a wonderful forum thanks to the 700 comments that help us create that little list. But we want to know what is the biggest Disney rookie mistake that you guys seen? What on that list or not on that list is the one that stands out most to you?
Lauren Hersey: Annual pass holder.
Eric Hersey: what is the one that you found yourself, you know, learning the hard way from.
Lauren Hersey: Yes. So when you look at all of these mistakes, they all lead to the same place. You’re standing in line longer than you planned and honestly longer than it feels like you should be. And that’s the part that gets you. So after the break, we’re going to be looking at Disney lines and how something feels a little different about them right now. But first this.
Eric Hersey: And we are back. So we just talked about all the mistakes that put you in line, basically.
Lauren Hersey: Yeah, bring it back.
Lauren Hersey: Yep, now let’s switch gears and talk about the lines themselves.
Eric Hersey: Alright, because the Disney fan community noticed that something has definitely changed, which led us basically to take a little closer look at what’s causing this. what’s going on here, Lauren?
Lauren Hersey: All right, so it’s not that the lines are long, it’s that people are calling out that they’re feeling worse. Like you’re standing there thinking, why is this not moving? And I mean, I think at one point you were counting like the lightning lane guests to the standby and wasn’t it something crazy at first, like 20 to one?
Eric Hersey: Mmm. it was crazy.
Eric Hersey: We had a scenario where we were in Smuggler’s Run and our little one had to go to the restroom. So they gave us, and it was kind of cool. There was this back way where we went through like a cast member, like break room and he went to the bathroom. So when they brought us back, there was no way to get us right to our family. So they walked us all the way towards where the checkpoint is essentially where the lightning lane is on one side and the regular queue is on the other. And we were waiting there almost where the Honda Anacca like,
Eric Hersey: animatronic is and we just sat there knowing where our family was and I just got to watch the basically and it was something ridiculous. It was almost like a 25 to 1 ratio and I don’t know if it was downtime if that’s normal, but it was just lightning lane lightning lane lightning lane and I’m just waiting here for my family and I’m by myself with my kid and we’re fine, but we waited what half an hour maybe and and it was just it was a matter of if they would evened it up
Lauren Hersey: Yeah.
Eric Hersey: little bit yeah you see 15 minute wait on both sides but yeah that’s what you’re paying for for lightning lane so it’s crazy that ratio and there are numbers and from what we understand there are protocols that if the ride goes down they have to hit these lightning lanes they have to serve them first so that only hurts the standby lane to be even longer right
Lauren Hersey: Yeah, and I do think I read somewhere that like the Disney community was really up in arms about this and that they reduced the amount of lightning lanes to standby because you are paying to skip the line like somewhat. But you can’t, you know, sell so many lightning lanes that now your wait is three times longer. So I think that they’ve been trying to find that balance and I’ve noticed
Lauren Hersey: that the Lightning Lanes, think this spring hit an all-time high and so I’m wondering if they’re also trying to increase the price of the Lightning Lanes to discourage some folks from buying them to you know balance things out but Lightning Lane has definitely caused that you know even we you and I talked about manufactured lines because they want the lines to look longer so you
Lauren Hersey: by Lightning Lane, because it always comes down to the almighty buck. And so the next one is line cutting is more noticeable. So I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about this because I actually think when we were putting together the show that this was the thing that got us talking about the queue. Like I kept seeing in the Facebook groups.
Lauren Hersey: Reddit that like people are mentioning this is the the line cutting and so we’re not talking about people per se that just like you know they’re like excuse me excuse me excuse me like
Lauren Hersey: and they’re physically cutting the line. What is making the community so mad is they will be one person waiting and then a group of 10 people roll up and they’re like trying to manipulate and like our group is up there, our group is up there. So I wanted to get your thoughts on this specifically.
Eric Hersey: So this is this one, you know, the thing is Anybody could just be like hey my family’s I often thought about it, know Because we always see that we’re always in line and there’s always that straggler person who’s like pointing and then walking by us and you just kind of let him go because you assume that they had to get out for some reason this or that I don’t know if I’ve ever seen like ten people do it or five people or four do it at that point in time I imagine that that’s where like
Eric Hersey: One person’s waiting in line while the other people are doing something and then they try to get up there. I don’t know. I just feel like everybody has the pain and suffering altogether. I feel like you got to keep it all together. And if you’re not in line, then you have to go meet them where they’re at. And I know we’ve been on the other end of that before where like we got separated at Radiator Springs and you’re way above us and I’m just waiting in line and there you are up there. And it’s like, instead of me trying to cram past all these different sanctions to get to you, it’s just like you stand here and I make my way up there.
Eric Hersey: and the problem is that I was a slow one and we got disconnected. Yeah, but I did see a lot of the chatter. Didn’t they make some type of change? Like Disney make some type of regulation or change about this or they’re trying to cut down?
Lauren Hersey: Yeah.
Lauren Hersey: Please.
Lauren Hersey: Well, yes and no. So I wanted to actually go to the comment section to answer this one because somebody did say it was Dino Ui and they just got back and they said that they’ve seen the queue jumping and it’s gotten so much worse and it says I watched a group of seven people do this to catch up with one guy on guardians. Did I have a bad experience or is it becoming more common? So there are lots of reasons this is happening, but the first one
Lauren Hersey: and I mean it had like 300 comments. The first one says, okay, but there are people who are told by Disney to go wait outside the line and join their party later in lieu of giving them like a DAS pass. So in some cases you are wrong and being a complete jerk to assure your ego somebody said that.
Eric Hersey: Mm-hmm.
Eric Hersey: Well, let me ask you though, because that’s the thing is like when we had that scenario happen at smugglers run, we didn’t have to rush by everybody. They walked us to where they wanted. Like the people that are trying to it’s almost dangerous for the queue because we’re just all standing there and they shove you the side and they try to push past you. Like I don’t think a cast member should be like, hey, meet back up with them like that. I think there should probably be some logistical, hey, this is where your next meeting point is or hey, this is how we can get it or vice versa. I understand kids having to the bathroom or their scenarios where somebody can’t stand and and this
Lauren Hersey: Yeah.
Eric Hersey: day and age, the queues are long and there is nowhere to sit a lot of the time. So if you do have a situation where you can’t just automatically jump the line or you have some type of, you know, a disability that gets you to the front of the pass. I understand where like it makes sense. You sit there and then you come over. But I don’t know. I think it’s when they’re all kind of pushing by and you really don’t know what the heck’s going on. like, are they skipping line right now?
Lauren Hersey: Yep.
Lauren Hersey: Right. And I think that they’ve from what I’m like looking at here, you know, they’ve kind of gotten mixed messages and how to handle it because like say that it’s a really long line and you can’t even get to a cast member and you have a little kid that, you know, needs to go to the bathroom. But that like that is that is a big one. And in this thread, there was a cast member that was actually talking about it and how they’ve said, you know, that they’ve talked about how these cues with really long,
Lauren Hersey: should have bathroom points in them and you know they were talking about some of the new rides do but like say guardians doesn’t because that was just a kind of a re-theme of that already existing structure and you know guys
Eric Hersey: It’s such gonna be a problem though anyway, though like you go to the bathroom then you’re still gonna have to catch up I feel like what we need are cues for the cues so that you just literally have a cue and then you have little breakpoints where you just have to wait there until your party’s there like You know, so it’s just it’s spoking off or or at the end of the day, you know, it’s just a Disney line I mean talk to a cast member. They usually can walk you to the place like I did So if you just do it properly a lot of times they can probably help you out I don’t know what their protocol is, but Yeah
Lauren Hersey: Yeah, I agree.
Eric Hersey: I think this chatter can go on forever.
Lauren Hersey: Yeah, I agree. think that… No, I know. And you know, the thing about Disney is they’re super strict about everything and have a process for everything. I think this is largely like they’re also trying to figure this out with the rest of us. But you know, there’s this last comment that says…
Lauren Hersey: They were walking in Epcot and heard a woman talking to a cast member to meet Anna and Elsa. And they’re like, my family’s already going into the room where they’re meeting. And I just think that that is unacceptable, that you’ve got to have those checkpoints.
Eric Hersey: Yeah.
Lauren Hersey: But I mean, we could debate it forever, but that is the reason that the lines are maybe feeling a little longer than they should or they have in the past, especially if you’ve not been to the theme parks in the last five years, with the addition of lightning lane. But what do you think? Is this just us or do you feel this too lately? What do you think is causing it? We want to hear from you.
Eric Hersey: Yeah, and I think it’s important to, sorry Lauren, I didn’t even realize we were so far down on the thing. I was on number three. yeah, just go ahead and do that whole last thing again and just tie it right to the end of the show.
Lauren Hersey: Okay, yeah, I was just gonna go to the end of the show
