Do you know how to answer a question?

I don't think you have given an actual direct answer to a direct question one time in this thread.

Who is the abused and who is the abuser? Can you elaborate on that example?
In my last response to you I clearly stated in what terms i was referencing the abused spouse. It was simply an example of the power of denial. I obviously made a mistake in surmising that you would understand It was also an answer to your question. Here is a repost of what I said .
It is one of the most strong examples of denial.
Is that not a good enough answer? Try not to limit your thought capacity to strictly literal interpretation. You thought I was referring to your relationship with Disney as some form of abuse which you cant walk away from. This only backs up my claim of you feeling "attacked" in your comprehension (or lack of) to the larger issue of denial.
Oh, and the infatuation comment- Dude, you saved a photo of me and reused it. Yeah, that's creepy.
Yes, an entire 15 seconds to right-click and save image as, then repost it to highlight your desperate attempts to make an emotional appeal and rattle about your diminished experience on a Disney fan forum site due to social inequality. If calling me a creep makes you feel better about your presumed inequality here, I'll ignore the hypocrisy and take the hit so we can move on.

Walmart and a Disney hotel are not the same store. He stated same store. It's not possible. Other people have said that as well...I'm waiting for proof.


Huh? So if you look at the number 9 you can perceive that it is really an 8?


This is a crazy little rabbit hole. Either everyone is using their parent's computer and @LuvtheGoof was correct... or well, I don't know...but, I'm frightened.

I need a break.lol

No...because I've made my Judgment already so I'm not going to put myself in the situation again where I waste valuable time trailing around shops. But if I happened to go in one for whatever reason and saw a good deal I wouldn't hesitate to buy.

Some things (experiences) I put a higher value on so I'm more likely to splash out on (eating in unique places)...and that's what appeals about Disney Springs. The stores, other than a few of the unique Disney ones, don't appeal at all.

I understand the how and why. I make choices based on my thoughts, wants, and needs. Not bc Disney is somehow tricking me into making a choice.
With that statement you invalidated the entire marketing, merchandising and advertising industries. Sure some people are sheep, some are diligent consumers but that does not mean that what these industries do cannot influence buying decisions within all demographics.

Let me try another relatable example-

When you go to a grocery store and there's a 5 for $5 deal or something.. Let's say you were going to choose another item, but now instead choose one that is included in the promotion. An item that you still liked.

Are they manipulating you? Or are they being a smart business and you both win?

That has been my point the entire time. The consumer is not always the loser...even when they know the how & why.

You can make up any example that isn't included in the case... that's easy and proves... nothing but that discounts are used for more than one reason. Proving that all pricing isn't manipulative doesn't disprove that it can be in cases.

I'm not sure who said the customer was a loser... again you are making counter points to arguments no one is making.

The thing that we have the problem with is you are only stating your opinion on why these changes are made, though you state them as actual fact. In truth, you have no idea unless you were involved in the decision meetings.

Ok, you can close your eyes to the last 10+ years and cites since.. but I'm not going to. But you can tell yourself that all these things happened by some cosmic chance if it makes you feel better.

You're right. I'll rephrase- 99% of companies do not pay their hourly employees when closed due to a natural disaster.
Proof of that number please. That is highly hyperbolic. I worked in several industries from restaurants/supermarkets to my currrent role in banking/wealth managment. All of these corporations paid us when there was a hurricane or blizzard.

You are an hourly employee working in wealth management?

This is off the deep end. Completely. Have fun :)

This is off the rails.

Do you have proof that the stores have a different MSRP on their items than the same store elsewhere?

I asked this same question a few days ago. Surprisingly it has remained unanswered.
Hold on, are you stating that stores do not charge a premium based upon location? It's true I am not in Orlando right now to prove this assertion but you must surely see if yourself in your daily life. More favorable locations have higher rents that must be offset the price of goods. I see if every day, gas in my town compared to the one in the elite suburb I work in.. heck McDonalds do not offer $1 menus in NYC.

yes?

Before I get accused about lying about my profession, I do work within the confines of retail banking

RTIC mug in one of the stores in Disney Springs was the same cost as my local sporting goods store, so no its not automatically higher due to location.

Where does that even exist? Why would anyone do it? I've never, ever, never in my life seen, experienced, or remotely heard of anything of the sort. I would laugh if someone even offered it..and wait for the punchline.

Show me an example of a retail store who's prices are different based on location. On the same item. Not a Starbucks or McDonalds.. Show me a corporate owned store such as Anthropolgie or Kate Spade or Under Armour who change their MSRPs on a specific item that is offered at another geographical location.

I haven't been to DS since these stores open, so I haven't seen it. I just find it hard to believe without proof.

Yes, ******** they do donate, as do all corporations. But guess what? They also take massive tax write offs
Do they also take "massive tax write offs" for their worldwide volunteer programs to help kids? No, no they don't. There's no financial incentive to volunteering. Your jaded loathing of Disney is misplaced, ignorant, and does not belong on a website called WDWMagic.

And the tax write-offs don't interest you? Oh, that's right, you actually have to have income to donate to charity. Go ask your parents if they donate. I'm sorry, but I cannot believe that you are anything but a disillusioned teenager.
And I'm sorry but I cannot think you are anything more than an ignorant fool.

Yeah, I'm sure they paid every bit of that. NOT!

Oh and you are the arbiter of what does and does not belong on a forum? Based on your statements, I guess you don't believe in free speech.

Hey, don't sweat it. Evidently, you have to present your credentials to be believed on this site. But the thing is regardless of what you claim you'll be called a liar. According to some on this thread I'm a teenager who doesn't pay taxes and never worked a day in my life. Otherwise, I couldn't have formed such wrong opinions.

I guess you are in the same boat for a different reason.
