While I don't mind the advice, I am honestly confused by people who come a Disney message board, and make suggestions about going to someplace other than Disney.
I mean if I want to see the Red Sox play, and i am on a Red Sox message board, what does it matter to me what the prices are for yankee game, or a blue jays game. That's not what i like nor want to spend money on.
I don't care about prices at Universal vs Disney, just like I don't care about prices of the ballet or Cedar Point as it compares to Disney. I am a Disney fan, and enjoy going to Disney, and seeing Mickey, and the castle, and haunted mansion, ect. While I am a HP fan and wouldn't mind seeing some of the areas there, no one else in my family could care about it, or have ever read the books/see the movies.
Value is completely subjective. You could give me tickets to Circ de Solie for free, and i would still pay my 10K for a week at Disney, because I am not a fan of Circ de Solie. If its not something i want to see, I don't care about how "great a deal." it is. It's not like i am buying stock here or investing and looking for appreciation of an objective ROI. The only question that matters to a Disney fan is the price i am paying to go to Disney, worth it to me to go Disney, not that I could spend less or more someplace else.
