But.....that's typically the cost for municipal/governmental designs and manufacture. It includes a massive cost for the acquisition of imminent domain and extreme over-engineering. The WDW monorail originally cost $1m per mile. Compare the pilings and beams to those of a governmental design...

I've used Mears to/from WDW ever since the demise of ME and, like you, didn't notice much of a difference other than theming and my having to bring my luggage with me. It's never been more than two of us so the cost has been reasonable (around $67 r/t) but I can definitely see how that cost can...

Absolutely the truth.

They'll no doubt use AI for this.

Of course everyone was paying for it - just like they pay for "free" dining. But the perception that it was included in your stay was strong and the contribution to value even stronger. I personally feel they really screwed up eliminating that "perk" as well as others that were extended when you...

Probably one of the best and safest business moves is to begin offering a popular service that your competitor stopped offering despite high demand. From the consumer point of view, it had no additional cost, eliminated a trip planning logistic and included hassle free luggage transport with...

That's exactly what they need in each park - several high capacity, extended duration attractions that keep large amounts of people occupied for longer periods of time. As opposed to, say, Tron which is ridiculously short in duration with limited capacity.

Didn't claim to have a solution, but I agreed that "waiting outside the line" is a reasonable accommodation. Letting someone to the front of the line as soon as they walk up (without prior claim) is beyond reasonable.

Exactly. And that is a reasonable accommodation. But going "straight" to or near the front of the line is beyond reasonable.

It is primarily about the requirement to pre-register with a "for profit" third party organization. The in-park experiences cited are in support of the primary argument.

Yup. Big difference between reasonable accommodation and going straight to or near the front of the line.

That's the same outfit Six Flags uses for the same purpose and Six Flags is currently being sued: https://www.classaction.org/news/class-action-says-six-flags-illegally-requires-guests-with-disabilities-to-register-with-private-entity-ahead-of-time

I'm so used to seeing pricing grids on all other sorts of resort and airline sites - whether it's a week at a time view or an entire month or two, showing prices for each day. It frustrates me that I can't browse WDW resorts in the same manner.

Yup. In 1972 we paid around $28 LOL In 2005, I want to say it was less than $200 for a tower water view but it was part of our ticket package with free dining so I don't recall exactly what the rack rate was - just that the total was slightly more than $3800 for three of us (7 nights, 7 day...

You're right, after a refresh that was for a Garden Wing 1 Bedroom Hospitality Suite - going back in it presented a Main Tower Theme Park view for $583 a night - total with tax almost $2k for three nights. Just for the room. Who is filling 80% of these rooms at those rates? I wish I understood...

Exactly. They've based long term decisions on short term anomalies. Can anyone explain this to me? First, why would CR be so much higher and second, who in the hell would pay those nightly rates?

Every so often I'll get Wendy's coupons in the mail - the one I'll always use is the buy one, get one free (or for a dollar more) Baconator.

Interesting. Coincides with the current practice of throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Use "XYZ" technology to optimize this, maximize yield on that, reduce costs on those, increase profits overall, etc. The problem is, and this isn't just Disney, but from my own personal...

I got it in January after we upgraded our park passes to AP's in December.
