For a couple, or one parent and a kid, it's not totally outrageous.
For a family of four though ... that's a mortgage payment.

11 of the BEST rides and a table service lunch .... I would do it.
Park admission tickets are not required.

wouldnt this trick cause even further load on the thrill rides and thus slowdown the already big waiting time in most standby lines?

I am one of those people that can't watch suffering, be it animals, or starving under-privileged children.
I know abuse, neglect, and suffering exists. I do not ignore it. I just can't watch it.

I am currently or have in the past, been personally involved with four separate child care projects in Africa. I donate money to the cause, I sit on the BoD, I fundraise.

People know what starving, emaciated children look like.
In our fundraising efforts, we show them the RESULTS of their donations. We illustrate how much food $50 will buy. We show the kind of house that rents for $45 for six months, to get a widowed mom and her five kids off the streets.

I know tugging at the heart strings for some people makes them open their wallets. For me, it forces me to change the channel.



Plus, I can't stand Sarah McLachlan.

For me, I feel bad when I see people suffering, but when I see animals, especially cats suffering, it's way worse. That's why my required project for my honors program at school benefitted a local animal shelter that works with abused animals. That's why we adopted an emotionally traumatized cat. Most of the money we donate goes to our religious group, though, with some going to the shelter where we got my cat.

Poor Hubby. Had to go to HO today on his day off.
It's a long weekend up here and the roads are sucidoodles. Plus, when he got to HO, his printing and price lists weren't ready.
His should have been 3 hours (max) trip is now more than 6 hours.

Even worse, when he gets home, we will be having family time out on the back deck. You know, assembling the pergola. Again. Hopefully no major components were wrecked in the collapse.

While the boys do that, I will assemble our gas fire pit, and our less than $2K backyard makeover will be almost complete. Just need a new outdoor rug and maybe a few accessories from Lowe's.

I had Son #2 haul our older, seldom used 2nd BBQ to the curb yesterday. It was picked up in less than 5 minutes.
Forgot to tell Hubby that I ditched that BBQ. Oops!

We had a cricket problem in the basement over the winter. The cat would go downstairs and go cricket hunting. I'd find all of these dead crickets around with missing limbs and couldn't figure out the problem until one evening she was on my lap and I was watching TV in the dark. A cricketchirped and she leaped off my lap. That cricket had chirped his last. After that I realized that she was spending a lot of time down there and that no matter how much I vacummed, I would keep finding dead crickets.

Oddly enough, we don't have any more crickets in the basement.

Hope that all goes well. Gas BBQs have gotten cheap and are almost disposable items now. I use my gas grill all the time, it was over a grand and solid cast iron, it also doesn't use propane, it is an inline gas grill hooked up to our natural gas line so I never have to bother toting around those propane tanks. I got one way back as a wedding gift, my Mom still uses it.

Our newer BBQ is hooked up to a gas line. The other one was propane, and hasn't been used in a number of years.

Bro #2 (of course Bro #2) "borrowed" the propane tank two summers ago.

I had to buy a brand new one yesterday at Costco for the fire pit.

One of my DDs friends, her Dad owns several McDs in Illinois. McDonalds has their conventions in WDW, it is amazing what he will pay for. My DS also said that the wealthier Brazilians that visit WDW pay out for stuff like this big time. Likely not meant really for you and me, more the flamboyantly rich. The McDs Dad is new money rich, inherited his McDs from his Dad (who had written him out of his will, but Mom put him back in) loves to take out his huge bill wad and make sure people are watching and peel off $100s to his kids to go be extravagant.

Nobody needs to peel off $100 bills to give to their kids.
That's just foolish and extravagant.

Yup, or like my company that's giving out trips to WDW over New Years with $1,500 spending money. Part of that money could go to doing the tour. Although if I were to get that trip (I wouldn't; it's an HR trip and I'm sales and marketing), I'd do some nicer ADRs and would probably buy some more artwork.
