You save up for a theme park trip expecting thrills, entertainment, and a few unforgettable memories. Instead, you spend half the day staring at your phone, trying to grab virtual queue spots, navigating crowd-control checkpoints, and watching ride reservations disappear before you can claim them.

The key question is not just whether an airline can do it, but what legal protections apply and when.
