With the new price hikes, now for my family of 5 to get LL and Genie+,it will cost an additional $200+ per day on top of the park tickets? So i'm looking at approx $1,000 per day for my family to visit each park? That doesn't include hotel, flights, food, merch, etc.?

Who the heck is paying these prices? This is INSANE!

for us to take a 7 day vacation and stay on property, do 5 park days and eat costs close to $20,000 per trip. Thats alot of jingle

People really have no choice do they? For those that are committing to use Genie+ they have to just go with the daily price and be done with it. The "what is another $5 on a $10,000 trip" mindset comes into effect.

And if you have issues with that, well, here's a gift card that cost us nothing and we keep the bucks.

Have a magical day, friends!

There is not a single true fact in your statement.......
Click to expand...
FP has been gone for over a year and Genie has been paid replacement version for about a year now. So yes thats a long time. Im sure you were aware when you booked. Genie & ILL increased by say $5 each so $10 total if you CHOOSE to buy it which means its an extra $50 a day from what you knew ahead of time so 5 days is $250. But even using your numbers of 19k vs 20k like my original statement 19k was okay but 20k makes it insane and ill say it again at $570 pp per day for Disney not awful. You have a big family what do expect to pay to go away for a week?!? Honestly. Come on now.

Well yes and no.......I think the correct way to say that would be "you dont have to buy Genie+ unless you want to only get on a handful of rides and wait several hours in lines"
Click to expand...

Is that a fair tradeoff? Is the value of the experience solely based on the number of rides you can do in X number of hours?

How does that compare to just buying party tickets and going after hours when there are almost no lines for anything?

We can agree to disagree
'
- 1 year out of 50 is not a long time
- what used to be free is now over $1,000
- add in the fact you have to pay for transportation, magic bands, more per ticket b of tiered pricing and the last time i went was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper
- and on top of all that, i got a lot more for my money (regular housekeeping, more hours in the parks, etc.)

Well i agree there for the price you are paying vs what you use to gethas diminished but again in another thread maybe this ive lost track in comparison to other places Disney per day was basically the cheapest. Yes i stay value
Again. I basically agree with all your complaints and gripes but my point is this last price hike announced yesterday for you is nothing more than a pimple on your butt for what your overrall trip is costing. Everything you mentioned you KNEW about when booking NOTHING is ashock. Yet you still CHOSE to go and pay as you say an INSANE amount of money. So ill ask you this why? Maybe you should think about who the crazy one is… some timeas im convinced people just want to complain and moan for the sake of being heard. And if your answer is bc thats where your family/kids want to go than you shouldnt care bc i assure you they should still have a grand time!!! I know we did and made the best of it.
