    Disney World Has Gotten Too Expensive

    We've been doing Vegas a little more, now that our WDW spending is suspended. It is a great place for shows, food, and even activities. Have you done the Grand Canyon Railway experience? Oooo, very fun. Well, if you like trains. They have a hotel on site, as it is a little far to come from and...

    Disney World Has Gotten Too Expensive

    Where some see only irresponsible spending, I also see irresponsible credit. I hold the 1% much more accountable than most for their predatory credit practices. To me, credit cards are a wealth-stripping predatory construct, if you are not paying them off every month. It gets really...

    Disney World Has Gotten Too Expensive

    Ohh that is NOT good. 😒 I know, let's tweak bankruptcy laws, again, and make it even more difficult to reset.

    Disney World Has Gotten Too Expensive

    Seems like we are drifting off from core economic principles in this thread... Just a reminder.... Demand dictates price. You, and by "you" I mean all 7.8 billion of you, are solely and exclusively responsible for the price of this luxury good and service. Ok, maybe not luxury, but for certain...

    Disney World Has Gotten Too Expensive

    Not possible. Maybe too expensive for some, but based on the festering mobs of people there, I'd say it is not expensive enough.

    Magic Kingdom too crowded lately

    I bought so much extra loot because of that service. I am actually pretty shocked there apparently were so few also similarly influenced.

    Magic Kingdom too crowded lately

    At least we have paper straws to help save the environment.

    Magic Kingdom too crowded lately

    "lately?" I mean, you are right overall, but crowd levels are why I stopped going years ago. (not counting my Starcruiser visit, that was a whole different dealie) I look forward to the day (if it ever comes) when I can go back and not feel like a wee sardine.

    Best 3D/4D Film

    Which one has the butt pokes that go along with the show? That one. The first time, it woke me right up and formed an immediate WDW core memory.

    Disney World needs major updating

    ....somebody had an extra cup or three of coffee this morning. :p I am not surprised it was busy, and the busses were crazy. This has almost always been my experience. Tiki birds are awesome, no touchie. And of course, more money investment (Frozen or otherwise) would be always welcome.

    Should Disney create theme park attractions based on the Simpsons when they are legally allowed to do so after the Universal deal expires?

    Oh y'all, Simpsons is an easier fit than Star Wars was. The Simpsons also has a broader appeal than Star Wars. I like The Simpsons more than I like some of the new Star Wars content. To be fair, the newer Simpsons stuff isn't my favorite, either. Simpsons should absolutely be included in the...

    Will a fifth gate ever be built at WDW?

    If they wanted to, they would have by now. Now why they do or don't is another discussion. Also, what their goal would be. I can tell you what (gets out the off topic crowbar), adding another gate or 3 would do nothing for reducing crowding. It might even make it worse. The entire area's...

    Future of Magic Kingdom Nighttime Entertainment

    This theory sounds plausible. Are they having any trouble at all keeping people in the parks? Our last trip they had one (just one) late night at the MK and there were a good number of people until the end. Granted, after 10pm, it wasn't crowded, but still not empty.

    Future of Magic Kingdom Nighttime Entertainment

    I don't know exactly why, but I really don't like drone shows. It is extra weird when you consider I own and like my drone. Now parades on the other hand. Love those.

    Conversations disrupting attractions

    This behavior probably has a name, and it is a peeve of mine too. Very much like some folks do on these forums, open a thread very much intentionally and then complain that folks should use the search bar or complain about thread necromancy, etc. It has to be a power thing. And THAT is the...

    Conversations disrupting attractions

    Lots of countries have rules on this sort of boorish behavior. I wish we did. ...not that people would obey.

    Conversations disrupting attractions

    I think that is a logical postulation, mostly right, but maybe missing the intent or core of the behaviors... Let me say it this way... There are several kinds of jerks... 1) Just not thinking and inadvertently doing something stupid. Will stop if asked (most of us are this type) 2) Just...

    Conversations disrupting attractions

    FWIW I think you were spot on. I have the same opinion on the pass holders. In fact, I have had to work on my own behavior when it comes to that sort of thing. Just because I have seen something 10+ times doesn't mean others have. I have to conscientiously make an effort not to talk over the...

    Conversations disrupting attractions

    People not caring at all about what other people think? If I am not mistaken, society is teaching that currently, so yes, it seems to be getting "worse". ...or better, depending on what side of "don't tell me what to do" you fall on. Sorta the same thing of how everybody thinks they are...

    Can we talk about the elephant in the room?

    I have to say, I was a little disappointed. Way larger and browner than I thought it would be.
