$30+billion in P&R profit since 2010. Over $60 billion (and possibly over $70 billion) in stock buybacks during the same time frame. But let's congratulate Disney for spending a couple billion over 3-4 years on their flagship cash cow.

You try bringing in food for 6 people into the parks, and not have a wagon to cart it around. A cooler big enough for all that isn't going to fit into a locker.
Is that not what you have a butler for ?

If this post is to be believed (and why wouldn't we?), the discount deluge may be already beginning...

I’ve always had the top AP. This past August, I made the decision to drop all the way down to Week Day Select. I’m only out $260. And, instead of paying in full, as usual, I even went with monthly payments — it occurred to me that I’d rather not pay in advance for something I’ve yet to experience.
I must have known, unconsciously, that bottled soda was going to hit $4.50.

That's a pretty good trick, since Disney pays their 1.45% dividend semi-annually.
Interesting fact, though I hope it is a computer programming issue (Disney NEVER has these) rather than a change in strategy. I was on my passholder page yesterday to see how much my new renewal will be, and it went up approximately $2/month (Gold level). Upgrading to Premium was going to cost about $20/month. Needed to think about this, and discuss with the SO. Went back today, and the only passes available for renewal were Premium and Water Parks only. Gone were the Gold and Silver levels, and the EPCOT After 4. Obviously, will be going back sometime in the next few days to see if things revert back. Otherwise, we will be taking a very hard look at continuing to give WDW our money.

Do we usually hear whispers before AP price increases/major changes or is there precedent for rolling them out with no warning?

Touche! I'm a bit naive on the logistics on bringing in food for a family of 6. That would be be tuff.

The TAs and ticket agencies usually get some advance warning, which leaks out. Officially, Disney usually drops a notice on like Saturday morning that their tickets are going up at midnight.
MREs. That's why we have 'em.

Right for the throat this early? Come on now, I'm having a logical discussion here. I don't see everything Disney does as even remotely perfect, you'll see that in my posts in other threads but the fact this thread is almost 30 pages long is crazy. Food prices go up and have ALWAYS gone up, what makes this different other than another venting outlet for things that actually do make a difference when deciding to vacation at WDW, tickets, resort prices, transportation, park planning/attraction selections, etc?

It would be funny if they owned a single framed share of stock. Just how happy of a camper can you be with a check for $1.68?
I can't speak for renewals, I haven't looked, but all of the regular AP levels (Platinum Plus, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Theme Park Select, Weekday Select, Epcot After 4, etc.) can still be tossed into a cart and purchased as new.
