The reason some of us “old people” don’t spend much money at Disney anymore is because we experienced the parks when they didn’t have upcharges and reservations and a pay-to-win approach to running the business, and we know when the value for us just isn’t there anymore.
We’re fans of what Disney once provided and the way it was managed. We’re not fans of the corporation it’s become.
Enjoy spending your money at Disney, my friend. As long as you feel it’s worth it and it inspires you and ignites your imagination, make the most of it.
And be aware that someday, the corporation might make changes that you feel are insulting and no longer represent the ideas and themes that made you a fan in the first place. Times change for everyone.
Oh, and you might not dig a lot of your grandchildren’s generation’s music, either. Just a note from the future.
