Tickets, resorts and food get more expensive all the time, now they are heavily advertising their new luxury packages. Also, with their new changes in the credit cards policy, it shows that WDW wants to cater to groups that can spend much more on their vacations, than their life-long fans.

it might not be an "either" "or" proposition. There could be life long fans who enjoy doing these type of things. the life long fans who has done the parks so may times that now they are ready to spring for "different" experiences.

If you read my comment in it's entirety, you'll see that I greatly appreciated the break Disney used to give us all from being forcibly separated into specific groups. Now they've jumped on the same band-wagon as every other media company on the planet, highlighting the differences between people, rather than being a means of bringing all people together.

Just a comment...Disney has a wonderful platform to do magical miracles! They could use it to promote all inclusiveness between the social groups or they can highlight and 'market' it! Those that are being 'marketed' will not have a beef about it, but those that will feel they are being left out will and should complain. Walt's vision for a park where families could come and enjoy is not being followed. He did not say those families that can afford it are the only ones that can come and play...he said all families! No matter your financial status. Back in the day Disney was NOT a playground for the wealthy. Lately not so much. Remember, it was the wealthy that ruined the Disability Pass program for those who needed it! It was once thing to get a pass so you could get on as many rides as possible, but when you RENT a person with a disability for the same purpose is WRONG!

Maybe in socialist societies, where there's a "fairness" requirement.

But let's run down that rabbit hole for a second.

In socialist societies, the workers control the means of production. That means each person controls the transactions in which they accept or reject compensation for their skills and attributes. Consequently, everything that person has (or is) is an asset they can manipulate for their own benefit. Taking that a step further, then, any ability (or disability) they manifest is an economic tool to be used for their own best advantage.

So, with all that said, why would it be "socialistically" unfair (or "WRONG!") for a disabled person to capitalize (socialize?) on their disability?

The reason I'm nancy negative on the Crown and also Dessert Partypolosa is I don't think they are good values. You see people will low budgets buying into these and it makes me sick. We should be vocal about this. Don't fall into peer pressure and FOMO! Let's make fun of bloggers who buy into this stuff!

But as far as it being fair, the only things we should be critical about are things where paying more gives you priority over other guests. Honestly it's very minor offenses though:
  • the VIP service that takes you onto any ride you want
  • $150 for 3 extra fast passes
  • events taking up good Illuminations viewing areas
  • the deluxe bus stops being closer
  • maybe some others

Isn't all of life about people making choices that work for them and make them happy? People pay more to get better seats on airlines and shows. People pay money to get better hotel rooms on the beach and on and on. Why would WDW be any different?

Can anyone tell me who is the guy in the suit in the top left picture? - the caption says

"Our desire is to carry forward the tradition started by Walt himself—offering un-paralleled access to enchantment of the highest caliber. We provide the highest level of personalized service so you enjoy totally luxe, tailored-to-you experiences. "

Must be some guy named Walt who only wanted to serve those who could afford totally luxe ( is that even a word?) tailored to you experiences. Good thing they found him for guidance or else they might not have gotten to where they are today!!

My point is that "Why does Disney feel like it has to put a price on EVERYTHING!?" When they do this it blocks out a certain group of people from participating! Like another posts said its interesting to see who 'pays for special events' that can be otherwise done in the parks at the regular admission price!? It seems Disney makes up Ticket events to get more money out of their guests, but I guess they figure if there are guests that will pay it, why not!

Many of these things are not something you get with regular admission price. Spa treatments have never been included in your resort stay. the chefs table at Victorian and Alberts has never been included. It's always been a special event..

Perhaps the most honest promotional piece Disney has ever created. (This is not a parody but an actual Disney advert)
