Ticket prices going up?

[sbkline]

I think we agree more than disagree..
And i also agree that disney shouldnt and i dont think will become un affordable to the majority of "middle class" travelers.
As of now though, I think a vacation to Disney is VERY affordable compared to other destinations for the same given time period.

I think so, too. :wave:

The country club elite probably go to Europe or Hawaii or someplace other than Disney,

Someone books those $1800++ PER NIGHT suites at the Disney deluxe resorts, and they are usually booked solid - all year long, not to mention the $3000-$5000 per person (for first 2 passengers) Category 1-3 suites on the Disney Cruise line that sell out on the first day prices are available.....


But I agree, this is not the majority of Disney's business.....

Actually, I agree with your last statement, Disney is still very affordable. I am by no means rolling in the dough...however, I just cancelled a trip to Cali for a week (with free hotel rooms b/c my husband works for a hotel) b/c even with the free hotel rooms, the trip would have been way more than a Disney World vacation.

Therefore, we are now taking a trip a little later in the month to DW...plain and simple. DW is affordable.

Do I hate the prices keep going up? Yes...Who wouldn't? However, dollar for dollar, Disney still makes sense.

The weakness of the dollar means that DisneyWorld (and america in general) are highly affordable compared to previous years for people in the UK and EuroZone.
