Why do people defend Disney's snack prices...

[xdan0920]

Disney charges increasingly ludicrous prices for things like water, and cheeseburgers. Why do people continue to pay those prices? And in some cases defend Disney's pricing policies?

I know we are a captive audience when we are on property, but does Disney need to milk every single penny out of us? And what makes people so happy that they do it? Thanks Disney for charging me an 57 billion percent markup!!!!

Why start another thread when a discussion is already occurring on the subject?

This is a new subject. Obviously. Read the thread title.

It's the same debate...

I don't think so. It's two sides of the same coin but you wouldn't call a head a tail.

they allow you to bring your own food and drinks to thepark, just do that ifyou feel you are being ripped off. Its nice they do that most events will not allow outside food or drinks.

Or go to a baseball game sometime. Talk about a rip off.

Why ? Because when they are in the park they want to eat & drink and at the time they pay for whats available, at the cost that its available. Had they planned differently they could have saved themselves the cost.
Why defend? Because they are offering a response to a comment that they feel they can justify.
And I dont think they are necessarily happy that Disney does it, but realize thats the way businesses survive. Disneys profits pale in comparison with other corporations. Its a free market to deal in, comments about Disneys way of doing business wont change anything. Every company I buy from has markups and I choose to deal with them or go elsewhere. Disney has no responsibility or restrictions to have every item on property low cost so you can vacation for a minor cost.

How is what Disney charges for food any different to what Universal, Six Flags, Cedar Point.........and so on charge?

Of course, because whenever a thread is started, no one ever takes the opposing viewpoint of the person who started the thread. Every opinion must have its own thread. Otherwise a discussion might take place.

I'm going to start a thread called "why are some people neutral on Disney snack prices?" You know. Just to be thorough.

Great idea! I don't see how my thread or your future thread is any dumber then the original.

Well, you may want to look closer, then.

I think my point might be, being missed. The idea that someone, @Chef Mickey started no less then 4 threads in the past couple days to complain about complainers and or randomly praise something Disney is doing that's been criticized here is, in a word, dumb.

My thread is attempting to illustrate that point.

Also, unless folks are participating in profit sharing, there is literally no reason to defend the Disney price structure.

Unless they find it as utterly magical as anything else....

Take it from someone who was part of more unnecessary arguments on this thread than I'd care to admit - it's OK to let this one go. It doesn't illustrate your point so much as make you look petty. And I know from petty.
