It's because staffing is at a minimum but because they are keeping staff at a minimum; involuntary. Once they are "back" (which the goal is by beginning of end of Q1), the final form of park reservations will take shape.
Next contract time union can fight for higher wages , negotiate with company for cast and see where that goes. Raises do happen not just the rate that some want it to be.
I’m not saying those things will go away…I’m saying like they’re gonna sell, sell, sell with those thingsI very much want to agree with you for the purely selfish reason that I would want it to be like it was before the pandemic,; with my no blackouts, no park pass reservation, Platinum AP and drop in whenever I want and spend too much money for stuff I don't need and spend too much money for crappy food and liking it!
But TWDC apparent does not want that any more
2019, Ah, the good old days...
To doubt you here would be silly
I hear you, but I can't get past the real-life situation where there is a person, with cash in hand, CANT get into the Magic Kingdom like today thru August 5th
There’s still a game being played…is my guess…we haven’t gotten to the end yet.
Really? My household isn't at this income level, we have two kids, and (outside of pandemic times) are targeting going to Disney once a year and staying at a Deluxe for a week.
I agree about the plague.
You seem not to fall for the trap " keeping up with the Joneses" . That's the downfall of a number of people.
But that IS the their target demographic.
Most people are not as smart as you appear to be with finances. In fact, I'd argue that most people with $200k of income have less disposable cash than you appear to have (due to said poor decisions and/or cost of living).
Correct…but it also appears that Mikey is throwing a substantial part of his discretionary cash at 7/365…
I think you just disproved this entire thread, “wealthy”-is-not-going-to-work"
Hell no on DVC…highly overpriced. Especially when the resell market is lining up!I think you just disproved this entire thread, “wealthy”-is-not-going-to-work"
Disney does not discriminate against personal income, color, creed, sexual preference or your pronoun.
If you are able to pay and go to Disney one a year for a week staying at a deluxe - DISNEY LOVES YOU!!
@mikejs78 after the car is paid off you should consider DVC
When you sit down with the DVC person, they tell you how many $$ you save with DVC if you stay at deluxe resorts specifically.
…give it time
That rate has steadily declined over the years. It’s actually fascinating.
Didn't you hear? They are halting all work in EPCOT to build this. Sales start in 2024
I mean, it's certainly our biggest discretionary expense but we still have a decent amount left over for other things and for savings.
