Lol, as someone who still leans towards the pixie duster side, I’m mostly good with the bread and circuses on offer (assuming they fix Genie+, which is a hot mess,) it’s just the price that’s an issue. My feeling is that Disney went from a 10 in customer service to a 7 or 8, but: 1. Most places are a 4 or 5, so they’re still relatively better and 2. What they lost in “Disney difference” they mostly made up for in “Disney size”, as they now offer much more in terms of restaurants, cruises, festivals and so on. But the prices! Oy. Those are getting more unmanageable during this time of inflation. It’s not just the Disney prices, it’s the Disney prices on top of what everything else costs these days.
I keep seeing that while consumer spending has not slowed much, credit card debt is at an all time high. That kinda makes sense to me because I keep looking around at vacation prices and wondering how on earth people are affording all this! Who is snapping up these $900 a night hotel rooms? Maybe the party continues for awhile or maybe it’s starting to slow down, hard to tell just yet. I will be curious how crowds look in the fall and holiday season of this year.
