It’s like you’re wondering how poor people are affording private jet flights to Maldives. It’s a tank of gas.This comparison of gas prices at WDW vs. Disneyland is incredible to me. I don't know how families in SoCal do this, and at some point it has to impact visitation and spending at Disneyland.
I just snagged these screenshots from gasbuddy.com. These are today's prices for a gallon of 87 octane regular at the stations on and around WDW property, and the stations nearest to Disneyland.
$2.92 to $3.15 at various stations off property, and $3.04 at the multiple Speedway's on WDW property.

Meanwhile, in Anaheim, prices for a gallon of 87 regular are over double that of Orlando...
$6.79 at the Chevron next to the 5 freeway, to $6.19 at the 7-11 on Ball Road

If your car requires 91 octane in Anaheim, prices are well over $7 per gallon today. Crazy! How are middle class families affording this I wonder?
Middle class families save their money and will happily spend their money on things that they want to do…like we’ve been doing. This includes driving. I still see plenty of people on the streets in their cars, waiting for the red lights to turn green. It’s a sight to behold.
