Very different context there. “Don’t worry” is not the same as “YOLO”.

Thursday night at PI back in the day basically had all of that in any of the clubs thanks to all us drunk CPs getting in for free. Good times! 😂 Josh would not approve, most of us didn’t spend a dollar. CPs are only good for working late hours and getting that overpriced rent pulled out of...

Same difference. 😉

Is Josh still enjoying an extra long weekend or did he simply stop thinking about affordability?!?

Nothing wrong with Voyager and Freedom Class, we’ve sailed them plenty! I find it laughable that DCL wants to be considered a luxury line, only their pricing supports that in my opinion. We had a great cruise in 2019 on the Dream but followed it with Harmony and never looked back. I really...

This is definitely true of Icon Class, but they’ll come down eventually once the newness wears off and more ships enter service. We stick to Oasis Class for all the features but better deals. Spinning this back to Disney, it will be interesting to see if DCL can still command higher prices...

Completely disagree if you want to have the best opportunity to get in everything you want to do (attractions, dining, etc). Can you just show up? Sure, but unless you’re a local who doesn’t care, you’ll likely get a lesser experience. A day in WDW has been fairly complex since the introduction...

Let’s be honest, if you go to Disney Parks enough, it can be hard to go back. I was a season pass holder at SFGA before my Disney days. Not only did Six Flags decline, but I also got accustomed to a “real” theme park. I’m also within driving distance of Hershey. While I enjoy Chocolate World and...

We’ve replaced our WDW trips with cruises. In some ways they are similar, for example, Royal Caribbean ships are loaded with great entertainment, activities, and even thrills. In other ways a cruise is the anti-theme park vacation. Less lines and stress, more relaxation. At the end of the day...

This is fine but completely your choice to make. Personally if I’m going to spend thousands on a vacation, I don’t want to pinch pennies just to make it work. If it were the only option, maybe, but there are plenty of other options thankfully where I can still vacation how I want for less.

For sure, it was sold out yet rather empty. Smart way to ease in and avoid bad press when things go awry.

2 days? 2 hours! 😉

But Disney’s current dynamic pricing is a newer concept for them so your park ticket comparisons in particular are going to be off. Is what it is though, most of us acknowledge how much more expensive Disney is now compared to 5 or 10 years ago.

It’s severely flawed. You can’t take one week a year and make a fair comparison. All Ears just put an article out about 2026 ticket prices. While Disney played some games with the overall price range to make them look cheaper, a majority of the days each month actually saw an increase.

Sorry, my 40+ trips over 20 years tells me otherwise. And hotel rates and ticket prices don’t tell the whole story either thanks to discounts. Disney has capitalized in the last five years on guest spending once in the parks. I don’t necessarily fault them for it, I simply choose not to partake...

That’s not the reality for “most”, but credit card debt is not Disney’s problem. The problem is this simply isn’t sustainable and eventually this demographic will be less likely or flat out unable to visit. Disney is banking on the upper class to step in and fill the void, I’m just not convinced...

Fair enough, but I would argue not the same level of quality it once was. Things have changed along with the cost.

Certainly agree but would argue it’s been far longer than 5 years since they’ve offered a quality product. That’s just when they completely gave up on being better and just found ways to charge for everything that used to be included.

It’s relevant because you have a choice at a concert or game whether you eat at the event or before/after (elsewhere). Most can last the 2-3 hours you’re typically there. This is impossible at any theme park when you’re spending the entire day, particularly in the Florida climate and Disney...

Hercules has been mentioned which I could see but Tangled is the most underutilized hit with a great soundtrack. I wish they would have had a plan from the start to keep the shows at MGM/DHS fresh, then you could capitalize on the latest and greatest without them becoming stale. For the frequent...
