    For all of blaming Chapek, you have it wrong. Iger is still pulling the strings.

    Bob Chapek is the bad guy? You must be thinking of the other Bob… Bob Iger. He’s increased the debt with his past spending splurges. Now Chapek has to lower the debt incurred under Iger by increasing prices on all Disney ventures including Parks.

    Paying more, getting less. That’s been the Disney mantra for years. It’s not just the park ticket prices that are up. Cost increases for parking, food, souvenirs, no more fast pass, etc.

    Next time you are in a Disney store check out the labels – all made in China. Pins are from China. You know the item cost to Disney is low, so most of the price hikes are pure profit.

    Now add the fun fact of masking on hot FL days.

    No thanks. Walt’s dream has transformed into greed.

    If you are a DVC family of 4 and want to buy the equivalent of a Platinum pass, which is now the Incredipass plus an additional $99 per person for Photopass option it will now cost you a total of $ $1600 more per year. Or $400 per person! Wow! That is a lot. Way to thank DVC members Disney!

    Magical express gone but if we rent a car we pay parking. Park reservations but no cap on crowds, ordering food in advance so they don’t have to pay cashiers. Online checkin so they don’t have to pay desk clerks. The list goes on but the savings hasn’t been passed to the guest

    As a DVC member from Michigan (26yrs), this is the biggest middle finger I have ever gotten. We have been going 2 times per year for the last 11 years. 2019 I paid Under 500 with the discount. Now with tax it is 1000. No free ride from the airport. Greed. But guess what. I am coming down in November for 8 days. Just booked a car. Just purchased a one day ticket for the 5 of us. Going to MK for a day. Just purchased tickets for Universal (2 days) and Sea World. My kids love Harry Potter. Can’t wait till there new park opens. Now I am going to rent out the remaining points on Dave’s DVC. Thanks Disney for letting me the other side and leave the Diney bubble.

      Do not forget no fast pass unless you pay extra , no after hours unless you stay at the most expensive resorts you get 1/2 before park opens big deal . I will not be renewing my annual pass for my family , instead of i week Disney and one at Universal it will be 2 weeks at Universal.

      Oh do not forget you have to pay to park at Disney resort . Paying for overpriced rooms with no perks and you get to pay for parking too

    I don’t see how anyone can say any of this is a better deal!
    The author must have had to sort thru a lot of responses to find a positive one – or more likely just made it up.
    The sad truth is that the photographers will lose their jobs when people don’t buy photo pass. Since when is a la cart cheaper or ever a bargain?!

    Someone Unfreeze Walt please.

    Until then it’s universal and sea world and bush gardens, etc…

    Seems Disney is getting more greedy , with every change , first they did away with the free fast pass now you have to pay for it , only having extra after park closing fior deluxe resort guest is a slap in the face to all loyal guest who have been going for years . They act if you stay at a moderate resort your trash. They did away with the airport bus service . Now this annual pass holder stuff . You have to reserve a park and you tickets you may or may not get in ,what if you are out of state and not get in any park ? And you have to reserve a time at a counter serve restaurant to eat, all this reserving stuff and having to use a phone , to much trouble , seems stressful not a vacation . No Disney perks to stay on their property anymore . And too much like work to go there and pricing most people out of being able to go . NO THANKS I WILL GO TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS !

    Why aren’t passholders getting together in a lawsuit?! I know we were lied to and pressured to renew this summer RIGHT before all these crazy take aways from what we paid for!
