If you see value in paying $50 for a dog turd then that's your right but you're an idiot and should be publicly mocked

Sure...this isn't that thankfully. Honestly, Public mocking is really shameful. How low of a human does one have to be to feel the need to kick and belittle? But I've said what I'm going to to say and I'm heading out to get me some pizza 😜

You're right, it's $300 for a dog turd. Even worse. All the more reason to correct a fool.

For less than $300 for 5 days of admission to Tokyo Disneyland, a cobbled together mish-mash of 80s-era Disneyland and Magic Kingdom but it largely works and that park is so immaculately maintained that the dated parts come off as perfect time capsules rather than neglected corners vs. $299 for a 6 hour evening going on repainted rides in a land, Pixar Pier, that just had its sub-par theming stripped clean and replaced with garish Pixar kitsch...

Three hundred dollars to be the first to eat chicken nuggets at Poultry Palace...

No thank you.

All this talk of "value" here has me thinking...and what I've concluded is that there is no actual "value" here apart from being able to say you were the "first" to go on stuff. Is that really worth three hundred dollars? I could see if this was a brand new park that no one has ever seen before, but I highly doubt anyone who would attend this event hasn't already set foot in Paradise Pier many times and ridden the rides many times. I just don't get it.

If you really want the most bang for your buck, DON'T spend the extra $300 to see something that you can see the following day for "free".

For around the same price I can get a roundabout ticket to Paris and experience a whole new culture and country rather than visit a Disney Park in another country while ignoring everything that makes that country unique.

People find value in different things. if someone wants to spend 300 dollars at Pixar Pier go for it brogurt.

$1200+ for round trip ticket to Tokyo. $500+ for 5 nights, $300 for 5 day admission. Total of $2000 or more.

or

$300 for a local AP for this event.

I'm sure you see the value in the Tokyo trip, and actually so do I because I've never been. But to someone else they probably rather just spend the $300 versus something over $2000.

It really depends on what you consider valuable, obviously not this. I really don't either to be honest.

But I can understand why some would. Being the first to have the latest big screen TV, or the latest phone, or the latest rose gold blah blah, or whatever, is valuable to some people. If that is how they want to spend their money, so be it. Its not our money and we don't have to get it. As long as they don't interfere in how I want to spend my money I don't care what they do.

Literally the only value that comes from being "first" is if you're in a race.

Using your big screen analogy, sure, you can go out and buy one. But why spend $300 for one on Tuesday, when if you waited until Wednesday (or literally any day beyond Tuesday) you'd still get the exact same one for free?

If this was a singular event for a one-time-only thing, then sure you'd have a point. But literally the only thing earned from this whole event is mild bragging rights. Which, unless this person plans to put it on their tombstone as a point of pride, is a strange thing to spend $300 on.

Surely people can spend their money however they see fit. But surely I can also voice my opinion when I see an utterly foolish decision being made.

Agree. Which is why I immediately thought they have to be primarily targeting vloggers and the like with this event.

I've always thought it was foolish for people to collect Beanie Babies, or Happy Meal toys, or wait in line to be first for the latest xyz book when they could wait a week. But people do it and they see value in it. And some see us as foolish for posting and trying to get information about the latest projects on a Disney fan site. Its no different. We are no better than they are, but yet here we are. We all have things that we see value in where others don't. It is not really our place to judge or understand why, people do what they do.
