Yes is a major consumer of Cloud based service. They bought the Cloud story line, and move from their dedicated Data Centers to the Cloud. They have been paying for that major mistake for years, and will continue to do so for many more years.

The original cost metrics they were sold were widely incorrect. Usage based billing vs dedicated private resources, that they could deprecate then replace.

It's a story I've heard and seen often through DH and I'm sure it will continue to get more expensive until they get more nuclear power plants on line to lower the energy costs.

To bring this full circle back to Disney, just like the airlines, they would need to heavily invest in their infrastructure and bring most IT in house with good pay/benefits to have the website/app service we think should be standard. That's a lot of money without obvious returns on a spreadsheet and would be a hard pitch to shareholders. I get why Disney's online products are less than stellar, I don't agree with it, but I get it.

For ticketed events, couldn’t Disney come up with a system that allows guests to make a reservation based on their ticket date ?

For example: Guests attending MNSSHP on dates 8/19 - 8/29 can make their ressies on 8/18. 9/2-9/13 on 8/19, and so on until 10/31. All other dates outside of the appropriate date range will be blocked out.

It seems like this would give everyone a fair advantage and not tax the system at the same time.

I don't think reservations are limited to those with party tickets though. You need a party ticket to dine from 7pm on but anyone can make an earlier reservation.
