Thanks for posting that article! :wave:

It is always nice to be able to take a look back at a slice of the Disney past.

I just love hearing the old prices..$4.25 for dinner in the castle, you are a cheep skate now if you don't tip twice that much per person and $22-$40 for rooms at the Contemporary and the Poly I think the room tax alone is nearly that at a value.

Man, that's less than I pay for All-Star with cast discount. :lol:

I'm with you! 4.25 for a Roast Beef Dinner...we can barely get a snack for that price...although I guess with inflation, those prices were considered normal...
