Disney Museum
http://disney.go.com/disneyatoz/fami...ion_hours.html
I just read about the new Disney Museum in San Francisco. I then clicked on Admission, and read this: Museum General Admission Admission for all is by timed-entry ticket. Timed-entry tickets reserve a specific date and time for your visit, which helps avoid overcrowding in the galleries. Ticket holders have a 15 minute window for entry (10-10:14; 10:15-10:29, etc.). Timed-entry tickets are generally available up to 60 days in advance. Tickets may not be available at the door. So if you're from ... New York and plan to visit, and only have one morning free ( so you need to make sure it's an AM admission), you should : buy a ticket in advance (maybe 60 days in advance) and make sure to be there within a 15 minute window ?? Doesn't that seem crazy ? Problems finding a parking spot might "void your entry " ? |

No. Museums do this sort of timed entry thing all the time. I'm not a big museum person, but, can't you usually buy a ticket from a human also? This states - " may be unattended " so no option to buy that day. Problems finding a parking spot might "void your entry " ? A lot of different things can delay you. You need to make plans that take into account the potential delays. If I am in town and can plan fine, but if 45 days from now someone is visiting from Butte,Montana , how could he know what delays he might run into ? Rhetoric questions . I just thought it was too restrictive and had never heard of it - except at Disneyworld - where you GET a ticket that day - not months in advance. |

Sometimes an attraction is sufficiently popular that you simply cannot serve everyone who wants to see it, especially at peak periods. I applaud the entry restrictions . . . the last thing I want to do is travel a long way to see something that's important to me and end up crammed elbow-to-elbow with a few thousand of my newest friends. If you doubt that that can ruin the experience, visit the Vatican and especially the Sistine Chapel during the tourist season. Given that you want to restrict entry, there really are only two basic choices. You can do it first-come-first-served, or you can sell timed tickets in advance. "Advance" for the timed tickets can be months or minutes depending on how popular the attraction is and the demand at the time. In my experience, well managed attractions use the timed-admission method because it reduces the time spent waiting in line, which is an advantage both for the customer and the management. |

Was at the ferry boat ticket office first thing in the morning, just before it opened. Was told that the first available space was 4:30 that afternoon. Decided not to go that day. Several months later, booked space two months in advance. Finally made it to Alcatraz. That, by the way, was a trip well worth while. |
