    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    It's all relative to what people want and are used to. I now stay premium at Universal because of all the extra value, and I just want to at this stage of my life. :) That's all it is. I know that the number of trips I can take is dwindling so I opt to go for deluxe and enjoy myself:)

    Yes, where we chose to live is a long, long way from Mpls airport. We usually drive down the day before and stay at a park and go hotel. Then we get an early flight to Orlando. Our small airport cut back to 2 flights a day, and they change all the time. The airports flight times usually...

    Yep. If it was me I wouldn't fight! I'd go to the corner like they did and be glad that there was no violence.

    What have you replaced your WDW fandom with?

    We were Disney fanatics and only vacationed each year at WDW. Now we are definitely Universal fans. I love their resorts and the parks. So, we have switched to Universal only for a theme park experience. We do traveling to other places, but no other parks. I admit to missing Disney at...

    Right! We fly from upstate Minnesota on a connector to Minneapolis, then a direct flight to MCO. It is Not cheap but we are used to paying for the connector or traveling 4 hours south and paying to stay overnight at a hotel (also not cheap) and leave car at hotel and use their shuttle service...

    and no one tried to stop him. He was apparently without weapons. It was just a little too lucky to get onboard as they were counting the cash, to me............

    I didn't claim the entire middle class is priced out. But that seems to be the demographic that is hit the most at this time. It isn't just the price of the resorts at Disney. It's the flights or drive, food while at Disney, souvenirs, tickets and the paid for line skip, and on and on. It...

    Yes, that's all true, BUT they won't have the Mom and Dad who brings the kids, who then bring their kids, if they continue to cut off Mom and Dad. We used to be the ones who advised a lot of people about Disney trips with the family. We were the fanatics whose own family wondered why we...

    and like me too. We are retired and are well able to afford a trip to Disney at these prices. However, there's no way I am wasting my money for a poor return on investment, at least to me! I know there are those who continue to go and see the value in it, and that's great. I'm glad they...

    Do you take new items left outside someone else's room?

    I don't know if this is what the previous poster was getting at, but I was cautioned not to use the coffee makes in hotels because some deranged, stupid people think it's funny to pee in them!!!

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    I don't think it's so much that it's the Muppets, but that people actually find their humor hilarious (I'm one) and enjoy the show immensely. It's just an easy going, funny experience which a lot of people enjoy. We never missed it when we went to disney because it hits the mark for non...

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    I think the Muppets should have taken over Bob Iger and left MuppetVision alone. It was timeless, IMO.

    News Disney World Hits All-Time High Revenue in Q3 2025, Strong Bookings Continue into Q4

    Just a comment on Las Vegas. Where I live we have several nice casinos within driving distance. Two are within 30 minutes, other's within an hour. They are every where. We used to go to Vegas to gamble occasionally, but not any more. The convenience of these casinos is the pull for us.

    I agree. We don't feel the love anymore, but that's just us. There are many reasons. There are also many reasons why we miss and love WDW too. I don't berate others for loving Disney either. It's a personal choice made for a variety of reasons. I hope that one day I will find myself back...

    Wearing Mouse Ears Outside Of Disney

    I agree with this idea. I have seen other people who have that type of problem wearing things that little kids usually wear. I'm just glad it makes them happy. However, if he is doing it to just be noticed, then that's different to me.
