“We read demand. We have no plans right now in terms of what we’re going to do, but we operate with a surgical knife here, It’s all up to the consumer. If consumer demand keeps up, we’ll act accordingly. If we see a softening, which we don’t think we’re going to see, then we can act accordingly as well.” - CEO Bob Chapek

On this week's show, Disneyland veterans, David and Ronn dive into several sizzling Disney topics. Is a Reservation Waitlist Coming to Disneyland? Of course, Disney could implement a reservation waitlist but would they? Should they? Would that make the reservation system a better process – or a worse one?  The Disneyland Resort is a different animal than the other Disney Parks in that it's a locals Country Club of sorts. Does that fact make a potential reservation waitlist more or less likely? So many questions that are all answered by one simple question: Will a reservation waitlist generate more revenue for The Walt Disney Company or not?
