The video highlights changes such as the removal of free fast passes, the introduction of paid services like Disney Genie, and new costs for parking and transportation. According to the creator, Disney's leadership is utilizing a strategy to price out certain demographics to reduce crowding while maintaining record-breaking profits despite a seventeen percent drop in attendance compared to pre-pandemic levels.
