News Join former Disney Imagineer and creator of Disney's Animal Kingdom Joe Rohde on an Adventures by Disney expedition to the Arctic

It’s not like no one here has ever heard of it…if there’s one group of people that HAVE heard of it, it’s our group of super fans…it’s just that with our economy the way it is, rooms are getting discounted, they can’t put fannies in the Galactic Starcruiser, many don’t think now is the time to be touting a super expensive cruise (even if it IS with Joe…it’s not like he’s gonna be buying us a round for sitting with him). I would LOVE to “bend his ear” (the one without the earrings), lol about his trips to gather items for EE, I do think he would tire REALLY quickly on answering questions on why NRJ is so short, and why the Yeti doesn’t work, but I find him fascinating…I consider him one of the last of Disney’s best.

I'm assuming you will then apply the same standards to DCL, because they are far outside the cruising standard as far as prices go and have been far over-priced ever since their debut.

Even with our economy the way it is, there are many people who are still able to afford luxuries such as this ~ that's who this particular arm of the company caters to.

Why not?? Why is it one or the other? Companies that I deal with all have a "luxury" offering.
Believe it or not even in this economy there are people who have plenty of disposable income.
This always baffles me, people here are almost mad that Disney dare caters to high income folks.
This trip is way too rich for my blood but I'm not mad that the company is trying to real in big fish. Not everyone is struggling

Another example of Disney selling something 90% of the people in this world can’t afford while Universal offers 2 free days with a 3 day purchase. Didn’t Disney used to offer that?

I just spent $1,300 for two people to visit Universal for one day to say goodbye to Poseidon's Fury.. lol

Two park pass, express passes (since only one day), and cabana bay. Still a bit pricey, but doable I guess.

I never said anyone should be mad at Disney for promoting a high end trip…if one were in the disposable income category, more power to them…I certainly don’t begrudge anyone for signing up…

Why are they taking down Poseidon's Fury? That is a marvel of technology achievement.

Because the kingdom of Hyrule needs to go somewhere.

It's a favorite attraction of mine... But it's been a long time coming. At this point, I'm just relieved it's finally happened. I've spent the last 10 years paranoid of it closing forever. Then the tease with the extended refurb recently...

Super happy they gave me enough time to plan a goodbye! Lol.
