To keep it simple: the cyclic nature of boom and bust from 1955-2010ish provided “price resets” that allowed Disney parks to maintain relative value as compared to discretionary spending habits.
Prices never went “down”…and it was never “cheap”…
But they Maintained more value/affordability. I could pour into numbers of the reign of King Ogre…but it’s just an opinion. Someone will “counter” with a graph that shows ticket prices are “on par” with inflation. But it’s not a “one factor” argument. It’s a collection of things relative to travel and the overall economic climate.
Here’s my take: if you asked people if they are getting good value today - what percentage would say “yes”?
10, 20, 30, 40 years ago?
What are the percentages in comparison? Longterm effects
