News Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families

Today is June 9, 2025

Josh had trouble doing rich guy things this weekend because he was really down thinking about affordability.

Josh was shocked by how expensive the price of hotdogs have become for his weekend BBQ. Specifically the cost of A5 Wagyu Beef used for his rich guy hot dogs really jumped and he had to settle for A4 Wagyu.

Pour one out for Josh, specifically the bottle of Dom Perignon 1947.

Josh will be back tomorrow

...or will he?

And once again you’re completely wrong. Per the latest us census report 86% of employees worked for employers who offer health insurance which falls firmly into the “most” category

86% of employees are not 86% of the population.

Josh is out today. Apparently he over-indulged in 1947 Dom Perignon yesterday and the hangover and headache is preventing him from thinking about affordability today. He is acutely aware about the affordability of Alka Seltzer, though. He was rather shocked at how expensive it has become.

More affordability thoughts tomorrow. We hope.

so? Her statement was "Sure do. Born and bred Wisconsinite of almost 51 years, thankyouverymuch. And no, not "most" employers have insurance programs." Which means the majority of employers do offer health insurance.

As to percentages of the population:

Most recent studies (take your pick, IRS, HHS, CDC, Mayo, NEJM) peg the number of Americans without insurance as being somewhere in the range of 25-27Million. That is roughly 8-9% of the American population. So while its still a personal tragedy for those people who do not have coverage, that still means 91-92% of the population DOES have medical insurance,

Well it's late in the afternoon on June 10, 2025 and Josh eventually got around to thinking about affordability today.

Josh is really hot, but not because of the extra tight pants or 90+degree Florida weather with 100% humidity.

He's hot because the poors are asking for cups of free ice water and Josh is wondering why they can't afford imported Polar iceberg water from the antarctic. The same type he gets flown in on a daily basis at almost $200 per liter. ( Or $200 per .264 gallon aka freedom units)


Josh is going to hydrate and will be back tomorrow for more hot and wet fun !

And it sucks. We have an expensive Blue Cross PPO through my spouse’s employer. I had a CT scan today, had to jump through hoops to get it covered - and they paid $4 out of a $300 bill. To quote Janet Jackson: “Thank you for the ride - nowhere.”

They are “taking back” thousands of dollars from my doctor for a surgery last year because…reasons, and the doctor is billing me. I am working to have that reversed.

Many doctors who are not specialists are morons who google things while you talk to them.

What does this have to do with Disney again?

59.7% as of May are employed.

Thank you.
