I think it’s like before the pandemic when we used to talk about how the crowded feel at the parks was made worse by Disney having less regular hours than years past with record breaking crowds. Those are the types of things that would be overall helpful right now, to lowering wait times. The best fix is always going to be increased capacity, achieved by more things to do, more time to get more people through things, and the pandemic specific fix - more people in each vehicle/theatre. Some FP like program doesn’t necessarily help overall although it may help the small group of people who can utilize it well, which it makes sense would be tougher in current WDW. FP+ itself is notorious for ruining a lot of the traditional walk on or low wait attractions, and this was accomplished by adding FP+ to it.
At the end of the day the problem right now is capacity on specific attractions as well as overall park capacity. To take the heat off of certain attractions, restaurants, and stores, the only thing that would really work well IMO is more to do or more time to do it in. Even a virtual queue system is still a problem when those people not standing in line are looking for something to do.
TBH I’m not convinced Disney is ready to staff parks and run things at the level that would make a difference. I don’t know that they do see this as a problem that needs fixing like we do, unless fixing means Genie granting wishes for a fee. I wonder if they coast until attraction and park capacity can be safely increased. So many of our conversations here are about Disney just doing X, Y, or Z and they would make more money, and those things probably would increase revenues but I think we’re just looking at a totally different WDW than March 2020 and before, and some of those things are not worth the cost right now. Otherwise, I think they’d already be happening.
