You just described why Disney resorts were always so much more expensive than everyone else. It was always billed by Disney as sure we are more expensive, but look at all that you get. That is why the "it's not nickel and diming" argument doesn't hold up. It is obviously their right to do what they want. I'm just finding it hard to understand why people are defending it. It's a blatant cash grab, that's it. It does NOTHING for the customer experience but lower it.
Cost savings that I saw one night through the gates by the resort pool was a robot cleaner that was hooked up via electrical extension cords go into the pool to clean the bottom surface of the resort pool. That robot cast member was not being paid $15 plus per hour and if hurt on the job? Robot can’t collect workers comp.
Ok…so this is a binary choice:
Ehh. I think it is more with understanding why they are doing it and why it makes sense, rather than defending. Disney was the last to jump on this train and it seems they are getting punished for it around here. We should really be praising them for holding out this long!
Yes.
The cost difference makes it a bit more complicated. And that goes way off course so I’ll peel back right here.Ehh.

We were bummed out when we stayed up until midnight when we sailed on the Wonder years ago and waited for the midnight buffet. When the food came out or if you call it food it was like what the heck?
It’s almost inevitable.
Most have killed the midnight buffets.
…you mad, Sis?Sorry Josh but you’re STILL selling BS. None of the increases have anything to do with guests only keeping the pocket lining full of the board, execs, and stockholders. That’s it. But they sell it that way because they hope we buy it and the reality is they don’t really care whether we do or not. Nothing but continued corporate BS, plain and simple.
Not mad as much as sad and frustrated. I’m not wealthy and it’s getting harder and harder to be able to afford going to WDW. My sons are grown and thank goodness they are, we are no longer able to take them on vacation there like we have in the past. It just makes me sad, Disney was my happy place, I love being inside “the bubble”. How they disregard the average family is disheartening.
Some deal with being in the bubble in different ways, the NBA players when they were not allowed to leave the bubble when playing at ESPN and spending most of their times at the resorts. To alleviate their frustrations a number of players escaped by smoking those funny cigarettes to get into that comfort zone.Not mad as much as sad and frustrated.

This. It can't be both.
If Southwest started changing baggage fees tomorrow, no one would be praising them for holding out for so long. They would be skewered because they built their brand loyalty on doing some things different than their competitors.Ehh.

And we can’t even buy annual passes now
It was a joke.
Southwest has increased its fees by 300% in 10 years…
