Not for us. Cedar point gave us a night parade, night shows, rides, indoor shows, we had an indoor Waterpark, outdoor water park, much less walking to our room, bigger rooms, and shorter waits for rides. Even got a beach day there. And again, thousands less (honestly don't know the WDW ticket price now, but I've got a pretty good guess). Maybe it doesn't have that same themeing level, but when factoring in costs and ease of booking/going, and general service, it's not even close to me.Dont get me wrong they were not crazy much more but definitely more to make it worth a conversation and point im making is places are expensive to go to for the most part. Not isolated to Disney.
I had a 10 day hopper+ ticket which ran me $615 & went to the Halloween party the day we got there for $100 ….Not for us.

I paid nothing for my Cedar Point ticket. So it only cost us food and hotel.I had a 10 day hopper+ ticket which ran me $615 & went to the Halloween party the day we got there for $100 ….
CHA-CHING! - Bobby loves youI had a 10 day hopper+ ticket which ran me $615 & went to the Halloween party the day we got there for $100 ….
So yeah, roughly $2,400 savings (if I factor in the point pass for $100 each and the free Halloween party included there).I had a 10 day hopper+ ticket which ran me $615 & went to the Halloween party the day we got there for $100 ….
Actually he hates me. Last ichecked on these boards he wants people to stay around 5 days and leave. Im like a semi local AP in his eyesCHA-CHING! - Bobby loves you![]()

And carivnal rides for the kiddies. Don’t forget the carnival rides.Not for us.

That's just the one kiddie area. The other two areas are themed somewhat and have decent kid rides. I get it, it's not Disney and lacks rides the whole family can enjoy but it still is a lot of fun.And carivnal rides for the kiddies. Don’t forget the carnival rides.
My point being is these regional parks should never cost as much as Disney. There is ways to get cheaper tickets online or as my family does gets a Cedar Fair platinum pass so we can visit multiple parks. Yes it costs my wife and I $400 for the season but we go enough that it pays for itself.Okay
I will be in Sandusky in July. I have been researching because I expect to take the family there. Looking forward to it. Those rides just made me laugh. But I like coasters and my oldest will finally be tall enough to ride a lot of them.That's just the one kiddie area. The other two areas are themed somewhat and have decent kid rides.

To be fair, they have to be pretty historic, they were all there when I was a kid and that was quite a long time ago.I will be in Sandusky in July.

You know, you’re right, after doing the math it’s $65 a day!!!Actually he hates me. Last ichecked on these boards he wants people to stay around 5 days and leave. Im like a semi local AP in his eyes![]()
Wildwood & Ocean City are beach towns so not sure how you compare but i do get a season pass for WW & OC i get the all yoi can ride passes but hotel & food in these places cost money not to mention games. GWL/KalahAri i definitely get discounted rooms etc but again stillnot cheap & game room lol enough said. HP. I have an AP for both of us saves us money but again Hershey Lodge isnt cheap & games & food… they all add up. Im just saying Disney to me when staying Value is not that expensive comparatively speaking. & as youve see i spend wayyyy too much money on meals there.My point being is these regional parks should never cost as much as Disney.

Must be do to all that unprecedented demand I keep hearing about.I priced out tickets for next year 5 days for Thanksgiving. Tickets would cost me more than what i just paid for 10 days & my Halloween ticket lol
Whats makes no is pricing like thistotally contradicts whats been said where they want people there for around 5-6 days…Must be do to all that unprecedented demand I keep hearing about.
There are new car salespeople and used car salespeople…both have different titles but essentially do the same thing…^^^This. I never have understood. He might have more personality, but anyone who can rise to the upper levels of Disney management has to embrace the same penny pinching ways.
