    Disney is going to price us out of the Kingdom..

    I like this tread, people's thinking is interestingly presented. We can't talk about price increases without mentioning Funding. OK lets break down funding for vacations... when I was a early teen first time visitor to WDW MK in 1977, I had never in my life seen so much cash in my mothers...

    Disney is going to price us out of the Kingdom..

    I actually have no problem with the price hikes.. I am a believer in market pricing... If someone went to opening day of the MK and bought a verifiable original ticket and still have the stub and can sell it for 10,000 dollars, I will not gripe and say hey man you only paid $3 for that and...

    Spending Less with Disney

    I am hoping that Disney has plans for the financial future, far to many companies have made bad decisions that cost them, Sears and Toys r us to name a couple. I was one of a smaller segment of the population that had no problem with flying after 911, but many people did and I was in WDW a lot...

    Spending Less with Disney

    Ouch.. you spend 10-15% of you life visiting the Orlando area.. I guess that's a line Disney must walk when raising prices, they upset people that literally go there all the time..

    A rant against Disney Profiteers

    Sorry, but this is the capitalist system that served this country well.. These people that do this front the money now and gambling that the price will go up later. If it doesn't they will lose, but they are taking the risk. I have no problem with it.. If it is a matter of fairness and...

    How much $ is to much $ to charge for stuff.

    I poke fun at Disney for charging high prices, but in reality I feel they should charge what people will pay.. if someone will pay $75 for a T shirt, then charge it... they can shift gears during a recession if things fall off, and maybe during a recession, people will only pay $30 and that will...

    Linking credit card to magic band

    My post said nothing about being impolite nor throwing anything... you read between lines.. I went to GR multiple times... they gave me 3 bands over a year's time.. I was an FL-AP holder for 15 years.. which the card allowed me to use my finger and NO ID.... but if your band fails, then the...

    Linking credit card to magic band

    I turned my magic band in at the gate to the gate attendant... I was on my 3rd, non of which worked with any regularity... I always used my AP to enter the park because my magic band caused me to show ID every time. My last day with a band, I was going to use my AP to enter and the...

    There are Single Rider lines....what about Single Diner?

    I think the table logistic would be the hold up on a community table idea. If it was a table for 4, then the times would have to be arranged for that all singles at a certain time. What would happen if only 2 singles book? wasted space.. also how awkward would that be, sitting single at a table...

    Worst Walt Disney World Attraction

    I am shocked what people consider bad... Imagination is not the hands down leader... that never had a line.. and it was awful.. What shocked me the most is that Country bear got half the votes imagination got.. CB is classic Disney and perfect for a Disney goer that sees Disney with kids eyes..

    Shoes for water parks

    In the past I used wetsuit shoes when I had my catamaran. They are made of neoprene with a rubber soul. I still use them when I pressure wash my house.. look on ebey for "wetsuit shoes" or "water skin shoes". look carefully that they have a rubber soul.. less than $10 a pair

    Is there a "typical or average" WDW visitor/family?

    I don't think that there is an average family spending by income... I know people that make very little and have a lot of money stashed... its mostly discipline.. A coworker of mine make $15/h and her husband $30/h and they spend every penny, constantly battling to keep the lights on. Husband...

    Why dislike for Iger?

    I never liked Iger for the moral direction of Disney.. I saw one of Disney's grand kid's was whacking Iger for 2018 getting paid 65 million 1400 times the median Disney Salary, she also said the if they paid him 10 million, every worker would have gotten a 15% raise. Now I believe that...

    Who is a "Pixie Duster"?

    I am no pixie duster, I see it for what it is or as I call it, a "Notice-er"... I see Disney as an updated corporate entity with interests not similar to the Disney that was. Most notably I began to see the changes shortly after Esiner left. Since Disney owns ABC and ESPN, I also look at them...

    Should I cancel?

    I would say multiple problems... Daisy all I can say is that anyone who can afford to go to WDW twice a year, can certainly afford 3 trips... heck, the rate Disney is going, in a few years 2 trips will cost as much as 3.. How about you save the $300 on the airfare and drive the new car? Then...

    Rock n Coaster Queen revamp?

    Perhaps a compromise, they say that inside of Germany pavilion they had built the line queue for the river ride, how about piping Queen music to that queue line? Seriously though, they should continue the trend and change the music to the Star Wars theme..

    Does Disney force high-profile guests/celebrities to use guides when they come to the parks?

    I have seen Celebs throughout the years and I never bothered with them, frankly I have no interest in them, however I did come across Hulk Hogan at Uni about 15ys ago, he was stopped talking to a few people about football. I did go up to him as if I was listening, just to see how much bigger he...

    Giving up disney passes for universal?

    I had AP's at both for about 4 years, I let the Uni go because my parents were elderly and walking from the garage to parks was a bit aggressive for them.. My kids were 4 and 9 at the time and they liked Uni.. My advice is to go to Uni for a year, they may love it, and even if they don't, you...
