I’ve been to Disney 4 times, 2 weeks each time. Never going back. Between the higher prices , overcrowding, and all the “woke ” crap, I’ll never spend another dime there.
I agree! I actually just canceled my two week vacation in May because of all the “woke” crap that’s going on. They are ruining the happiest place on earth. It isn’t anymore! Been going for the last 15 years, never again. I’m headed to Universal Florida instead!
Of course they need more money, so they can pay the lawyers that are suing the state of Florida now. Disney should stay out of politics and go back to what they were originally founded for, family entertainment
You do understand according to Organizational theory a company is an organism which responds to threats. Political involvement is paramount for any multi-national corporation to its survival.
Thanks to the conservative court we find ourselves in ergo “Citizens United” where speech is money therefore, it is even easier for companies to grease the wheels of government. Disney has to protect its product which is entertainment and that is tied to its customer base.
Moreover, if their high spending demographic does not agree with local politics it is Disney’s task to at least appear as if they fighting what appears to be “discriminatory policy.”
Disney has seen my last $. That includes movies, tv, and memorabilia too. What was once a very special family event is now so far from anything that resembles family values.
Not supporting Disney’s woke agenda has nothing to do with hating the LGBTQ community. If you were smart enough to read the bill you would know that it has nothing to do with saying the word gay. It’s about keeping sexuality and gender education out of the classroom for kindergartners through third grade. If you don’t think that’s appropriate, you shouldn’t be around kids. Bill further details that if any discussions are to take place, consent needs to be given by the parents. Last I checked these kids don’t belong to the school.
Poor Sam wants everyone to look at the woke crowd and celebrate them, he wants whole months for everyone to look at them like they are different — sorry Sam but inclusion means you all have to put up with the old daily things that go on with everyone else, no special days just living day to day without all the LOOK AT ME BS
Steven Brengard, I totally what you’re saying when you & others say that Disney should stay out politics, & in most cases they do, they just quietly & ironically make $ donations to the Repub party who 1 of them being our Governor passed that “anti-gay” bill or whatever you want to call it, & the suits at Disney have no choice BUT to speak out against it since half of their employees are a part of the gay community. Now, on the flip side, Desantis needs to be careful about wanting to repeal the special provisions that Disney has had for years because they are a major employer & a major source of $ for our state.I mean, if Disney makes threats to move out of here, The state of FL would be in trouble financially. I think most sides need to learn to get along
How many Disney employees do you know? Most of the music was written by people in the queer community. Pretty much all of the people who’ve lent their voices to the films in recent decades are pro-LGBTQ+ if not members themselves. Most of the iconic Disney music from the 90s was written by a gay man. A HUGE percentage of queer DLP CastMembers attended the first Pride celebration and this year’s is likely to sell out as well. Most of the Rainbow Collection they sell every Pride month sells out faster than the vast majority of their other collections. There’s a reason Disney employees are called CastMembers. They’re performers. Many of them go on to careers in theatre. And do you know who dominates the theatre community? LGBTQ+ people. Deal with it. Also, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. You can’t even form coherent sentences or opinions. You aren’t at risk of anyone ever calling you bright.
I just started yesterday that I’m no longer going to go there anyway. To woke for me. I’d rather spend my money at the other theme parks. They are on my boycott list.
Maybe don’t call other people idiots if you aren’t even capable of basic grammar. Boycotting only works if you’re in the majority. In case you haven’t noticed, you fools aren’t. Nobody cares if you don’t give Disney any money. The vast majority are more likely to support them by not humoring bigots like you.
This comes on the heels of yesterday’s very timely announcement that covid mandates will be lifted and character meet and greets will return very soon. A ruse to fill the parks while they continue to thumb their nose at the values and philosophies the company was founded on. This multi generational Disney fanatic family has had it. I had my Disney Plus TV subscription canceled and contacted my financial planner and instructed her to sell my stock. It’s been declining since January , too many disgruntled visitors. I wish they would pay their cast members more, I wish they would stay out of politics and I wish this wasn’t happening. After some soul searching, I decided I wanted to live my values and Let It Go. I am not taking the moral high ground here, to each his own and it’s not my place to tell you how to think or how to spend your money, but Disney won’t get another penny of mine. They have infuriated, alienated and broken the hearts of their 70 year, multi generational fan base and it’s a shame.
Everyone of you guys are just talking bad because you don’t like Disney standing up for the LGBT and it hurts your family values. So I guess you are all bigots because of this..
You’re in the minority, dude. Stay in the past if you want, but the rest of us are moving forward and won’t miss the idiot bigots we’re leaving behind.
You think Disney is standing up for LGBTQ. They have and do business with countries that will kill you if you are LGBTQ. You don’t hear anyone complaining about that do you? Stop with the look at me crap already. Just live your life the way you want, why do you have to constantly announce it.
And you are full of hate towards anyone that doesn’t think like you, Sam. Grow up and realize that everyone has a right to their own opinion. Not everything is about the LGBTQ community….smh. maybe it’s just become too expensive for what you get. Get off your high horse.
Oh, you grow up. Most of these comments are clearly from bigots, not people complaining about the cost. (And you’re clearly among their number.) They’re talking about Disneyland Paris in this article and I’m willing to bet you don’t even speak French, let alone leave whatever hillbilly community you reside in. The trolls dominating this comment section aren’t discussing the prices.
The members of the LGBTQ+ community aren’t the ones throwing temper tantrums every time the media dares to mention someone different. (You’re the ones who need a lesson in maturity.) Queer people are everywhere whether you like it or not. It’s not the school’s responsibility to fabricate an alternate reality for you just because you don’t know how to talk to your own kids.
I’ve been to Disney 4 times, 2 weeks each time. Never going back. Between the higher prices , overcrowding, and all the “woke ” crap, I’ll never spend another dime there.
Those that keep saying woke or woke crap. Don’t even really know what your talking about. Stop listening to that stupid fox News. This is pure greed on Disney’s part. But woke is a racist perm used to describe white folks being upset that everyone’s culture is included and respected. Weall want respect!
Seriously stop calling racist because you literally are being one with you comment
Lol now their racist! Racist white folk who watch fox!?! Sweet dear I’m NOT white and I say woke!!!! Woke woke woke!!!! Nor do I watch Fox! If anyone is being racist it’s you! 🔥
Right because the person you’re responding to definitely isn’t likely to be someone who’s lying. 🙄 Look at all the spelling and grammatical errors, and the ridiculous number of exclamation marks. They’re almost certainly a white conservative.
WDWR needs to raise ticket prices by like 30% across the board, from single park day tickets to multiday park hoppers. It would help tremendously with the overcrowding issues.
No – it won’t. Disneyland has increased their prices to ridiculous heights. Cut perks for pass holders, lessened the quality of their food and people still go. Even with the reservation system, the pictures I see show people shoulder to shoulder. I don’t believe Disney will ever ever return to the days when an entire family can enjoy the park without having to wait in horrendous lines and pay outrageous prices to do so. I was a pass holder off and on for 20 years – continuously for the last 10. I don’t miss it and I don’t plan on buying a pass again. But I’m so very grateful for the memories and the lifelong friendships it gave me. Time for something new.
Sam and vKelvin, just because you guys are gay and want acceptance for your choice to lay with someone the same sex as you does not mean the rest of the world wants to know about it. You’ve found your calling and want to shout at the world “hear me roar!” Guess what, no one cares that your gay and no one wants to see you display your lifestyle. Just like you probably don’t want to see a man and woman kissing in public, “ewe, that’s so gross.” I have news for you cupcake, a man and a woman procreated to bring you into this cruel world and you were not born gay. You probably had something traumatic happen in your life and homosexuality was your easy way out or a way to make you feel included or have purpose. When, in fact, you probably needed therapy to help you cope with whatever turned you that way in the first place. Not being cruel, just stating the obvious facts. However, this article is about Disney’s continued price gouging, so, with the highest level of their revenue coming from normal families trying to share the magic with their children, Disney is doomed to fail as they are spiraling down quickly with Chapek driving the bus. Their highest revenue makers are pulling out and canceling their vacations left and right, just like us. We want no part of the bull crap going on within the company. So, hurry up and get to the parks and enjoy short lines and short wait times before they start closing the doors to the place. Without our revenue they will not be able to afford to run the parks. The 1% LGTBQICU812 community will not be able to support what it costs to run any of the parks. Sorry if all this hurts your feelings. Go get a tissue.
That is one of the most bigoted things I have ever read on a normal blog. What no one wants is to hear your bigoted whining about other people living their lives, in public, the way that they want to live. Perhaps you should go hide under a rock if you can’t handle it?
Hey Do-do, I can handle it. Gays cry bigotry when they get their little feelings hurt from the truth. Go get a tissue, cry me a river. Besides, it really is OK that you’re gay. That’s your choice. I never said you couldn’t live like you wanted, you are free to choose your own lifestyle. We just don’t want it in our face all the time, everywhere we go or on everything we watch. It is not the norm and does not need to be advertised all the time. I’m so sorry you got hurt. Bless your heart.
You know you’re in the minority, right? That most people support LGBTQ+ rights? That your attitude is what most people find disgusting? Cishet religious conservatives are the ones who keep getting caught grooming children, but you want to try to blame the gays? Stop projecting, dude.
You haven’t stated a single fact, you’ve just parroted a bunch of outdated beliefs that have been rejected by science and society alike. Nobody else is canceling their vacations and wait times aren’t short. The parks are wall-to-wall people–more crowded than they’ve ever been. You’re living in a deluded fantasy because it’s all that’s left of your sad, narrow world view. Stay home if you don’t like it. Get yourself a tissue.
Most of us are MORE likely to give Disney money for doing the right thing. Why do you think they’re backpedaling so hard on the donations in the first place? It’s been a disaster for them. The only people threatening to stop supporting them are the large majority who are PRO LGBBTQ+. The people who’ve brought them the most money are all either pro-LGBTQ+ or part of the queer community themselves. The Anderson-Lopez’s, Lin Manuel Miranda, Idina Meznel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, and countless others wouldn’t touch them if they didn’t apologize for this.
Disney is an entertainment network. The LGBTQ+ community (which makes up at LEAST 10+% of the population–probably more when you consider how many people stay closeted thanks to people like you) has always had a corner on that market. Have you ever noticed how the products of religious “entertainment” networks are absolute crap? It’s because nobody with actual talent wants anything to do with their bigotry. The arts are about being open, not prejudiced busybodies like you. You’re welcome to homeschool your kids and stay home reading and misinterpreting your bad translation of a bunch of contradictory ancient scrolls. The rest of the world is moving forward and won’t miss you.
Let me get my tissue…to wipe my tears of hysterical laughter. So what if you are gay, not my problem or my business. I hope you enjoy that lifestyle, but you your community are not 10% of the population. If that is what you believe then you yourself are the delusional one. By the way, conservatives tend to try to raise their children with values, teaching them the difference between right and wrong. The only people grooming children are people like you that want to turn the world gay. Polly wants a cracker? LOL
Disney corporate is continuing to prove its made up of a bunch of greedy, uber woke Pigs! Cancelled Disney + yesterday and will NOT be returning to a Disney Park, cruise, store etc. as long as this f’ed up trend continues. Disneys arms reach too far into so many aspects of our lives and they will continue to do so unless we take a stand! I don’t give a flying fig whether you are gay or straight or non bianary (whatever that new bs is) just dont try to inflict your beliefs on my child-that’s my job as her parent. Keep the politics out of it and stay in your lane of ENTERTAINMENT! Walt is rolling over in his grave!
Wow way to much crazy in these comment! Do half these commenters even read this was about Disneyland Paris ? All the parks will still be packed! Even with some in the Churchy camps and, some in the LGBT+ groups feeling unrepresented. I had a good laugh with AmericanbyGod giving me a biology lesson. However the post seems very punitive. How about everyone just chill out and enjoy life and Disney.
Just fed up with everything. I read the article and it all boils down to one thing…GREED. Cut the main artery to the heart and the body dies…the main artery being the majority of Disney park goers, the heart being the Disney profits, the body being Disney Corp. The 99+% are really feeling alienated over this whole gay thing and it’s so disappointing.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. This article is about Disneyland PARIS. The Rainbow Collection sells out here every year. Thousands of people attend Magical Pride at Walt Disney Studios. Boy George performed there last time and Mika will be this year. Google it. Mickey and Minnie wore rainbow-spangled outfits and were part of a special Disney Pride parade to a dance beat version of “So This Is Love” from Cinderella. The LGBTQ+ community makes up over 10% of the population even if you only take into account people who are openly queer. It’s likely much higher considering how many people are forced to remain in the closet. And if you look at the actual Disney company? Openly queer people have been doing a substantial portion of the creating for DECADES. If you’ve ever given Disney money, you’ve supported one of the first companies to offer same-sex partner benefits. You’ve helped one of the first companies to hire openly gay animators and lyricists. Walt was a businessman first and foremost. He drank and swore and smoked and would have gone where the money was. And guess what? The money is pro-gay these days. Go cry about it on Parler or something.
Conservatives are just spamming the comment section with their crazy because nobody in polite society will listen to them now. Their leaders keep getting themselves kicked off of social media by spreading lies or hate or getting caught in compromising situations with minors. They can only win elections through voter suppression and gerrymandering. Their time is over and they’re scared. They should be. The 21st century isn’t going to put up with their nonsense much longer.
SMia, you sure are a troll…a flaming angry troll. All you’re doing is spreading hate from your homosexual ideology. I want to tell you how sorry I am that your parents, the man and woman they are that procreated to bring you into this world, failed as parents to raise such a hateful delusional leftist. They may support you now, but, you know they were devastated when they first found out you were gay. Parents that plan to have children always hope their kids will grow up, start a family and start having them some grandkids. Unless you were an accident, and then, they chose not to abort you, but you support that too. Well, here you are, living the dream. Have a Magical day.
I took my 3 year old to the magic Kingdom for a day back in November of 2021. I can safely say after that trip I will never personally go back and it has nothing to do with politics or anything like that. To me it just seems like the magic has died alot. Our yearly family vacations to Disney were always about leaving the outside world behind for a week and visiting a place where everyone was special and it was reasonably priced. I’ve never waited in lines like I did on my last trip even though Disney claims they were operating under reduced capacity. The mobile food ordering system is severely flawed and waiting 45 minutes for a meal with a 3 year old was a nightmare. I paid for the photo pass because it used to be a great deal but this trip saw maybe 3 photographers In the whole park when they used to be everywhere. For me it just seems like alit of the magic has gone away in the name of making a few extra dollars.
Of cause Disney did, they are on another Planet to the rest of us…
Prices go up and up, but the value, quality and experience goes down and down.
Its not worth it, these days. Travel from the UK to Disney Paris, for what we pay, its almost the cost to get to Florida, and to be honest I’d rather spend my money in Universal including their better qulity and value hotels, where a holiday is a holiday and one does not have to jump through many hoops that Disney expect.
Disney how the mighty has fallen, you could learn a lot from Universal, from Customer Service, Value, Quality and Relaxed environment. No advance reservations and pressure to mobile order, no getting up at 07:00 to book a Lightning Lane etc, Disney you have lost your way.
I fear while Chapek is still the CEO you will never find your way back. Just like me after 20+ years of loving Disney and staying on property, I’m done with them until things change. Shame on you Chapek and the rest of your greedy worthless board.
Disney has completely gone away from the values that made it a family destination that appealed to our inner child and actual children. This will ultimately bring it down unless it course corrects.
People said the same things about desegregation, Paulo. The people on the side you’re arguing for would probably shun you based on your “foreign-sounding” name. Disney is still a family destination. It’s also a business. As such, it’s appealing to the vast majority of families that are raising their children to be open-minded. You’re deluded if you think it will result in Disney’s downfall. They already have plenty of support with or without conservative bigots. And if they openly embraced and started actively representing all groups of people in their films? They might lose the support of a handful of Middle Eastern countries and maybe Russia, but they’d get so much overwhelming support from liberals who currently don’t give them money that it wouldn’t matter. The rainbow collection sells out every year. This article is about Disneyland Paris, a resort that hosts a very successful annual Magical Pride event. Nobody cares if bigots boycott. You’re in the minority.
It’s wall-to-wall people in every park. By all means, stay home. The lines will be shorter for the rest of us, and the atmosphere will be nice without all the bigots.
Of course the GREEDIEST company on earth is raising their prices. We were there for 10 days in February and it was too crowded to enjoy the parks. We spent thousands of dollars and had the worst vacation of our lives because we could not get on rides, could not get food because you have to order on the app and the wait is in hours, not minutes (could not even get a table at our deluxe resort and had to eat crappy quick service food the whole time).
When we booked our trip, we were Disney lovers and so excited. Now our mantra is “done with Disney”. Forever.

I never said you couldn’t live like you wanted, you are free to choose your own lifestyle. We just don’t want it in our face all the time, everywhere we go or on everything we watch. It is not the norm and does not need to be advertised all the time. I’m so sorry you got hurt. Bless your heart.

100% agree. Nobody wants to know about anyone else’s sex life. That’s private. Or should be.

You know you’re in the minority, right? That most people support LGBTQ+ rights? That your attitude is what most people find disgusting? Cishet religious conservatives are the ones who keep getting caught grooming children, but you want to try to blame the gays? Stop projecting, dude.
You haven’t stated a single fact, you’ve just parroted a bunch of outdated beliefs that have been rejected by science and society alike. Nobody else is canceling their vacations and wait times aren’t short. The parks are wall-to-wall people–more crowded than they’ve ever been. You’re living in a deluded fantasy because it’s all that’s left of your sad, narrow world view. Stay home if you don’t like it. Get yourself a tissue.
Most of us are MORE likely to give Disney money for doing the right thing. Why do you think they’re backpedaling so hard on the donations in the first place? It’s been a disaster for them. The only people threatening to stop supporting them are the large majority who are PRO LGBBTQ+. The people who’ve brought them the most money are all either pro-LGBTQ+ or part of the queer community themselves. The Anderson-Lopez’s, Lin Manuel Miranda, Idina Meznel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, and countless others wouldn’t touch them if they didn’t apologize for this.
Disney is an entertainment network. The LGBTQ+ community (which makes up at LEAST 10+% of the population–probably more when you consider how many people stay closeted thanks to people like you) has always had a corner on that market. Have you ever noticed how the products of religious “entertainment” networks are absolute crap? It’s because nobody with actual talent wants anything to do with their bigotry. The arts are about being open, not prejudiced busybodies like you. You’re welcome to homeschool your kids and stay home reading and misinterpreting your bad translation of a bunch of contradictory ancient scrolls. The rest of the world is moving forward and won’t miss you.

Let me get my tissue…to wipe my tears of hysterical laughter. So what if you are gay, not my problem or my business. I hope you enjoy that lifestyle, but you your community are not 10% of the population. If that is what you believe then you yourself are the delusional one. By the way, conservatives tend to try to raise their children with values, teaching them the difference between right and wrong. The only people grooming children are people like you that want to turn the world gay. Polly wants a cracker? LOL
Enrique
Raise them all you like, Millions of people won’t be going there anymore. You’ve destroyed a wonderful (used to be) family entertainment. Adios!

Disney corporate is continuing to prove its made up of a bunch of greedy, uber woke Pigs! Cancelled Disney + yesterday and will NOT be returning to a Disney Park, cruise, store etc. as long as this f’ed up trend continues. Disneys arms reach too far into so many aspects of our lives and they will continue to do so unless we take a stand! I don’t give a flying fig whether you are gay or straight or non bianary (whatever that new bs is) just dont try to inflict your beliefs on my child-that’s my job as her parent. Keep the politics out of it and stay in your lane of ENTERTAINMENT! Walt is rolling over in his grave!
Paulo
True.. I cancelled Disney+ a year ago because of their hypocritical leadership decisions.
Thomas
Wow way to much crazy in these comment! Do half these commenters even read this was about Disneyland Paris ? All the parks will still be packed! Even with some in the Churchy camps and, some in the LGBT+ groups feeling unrepresented. I had a good laugh with AmericanbyGod giving me a biology lesson. However the post seems very punitive. How about everyone just chill out and enjoy life and Disney.
AmericanbyGod
Just fed up with everything. I read the article and it all boils down to one thing…GREED. Cut the main artery to the heart and the body dies…the main artery being the majority of Disney park goers, the heart being the Disney profits, the body being Disney Corp. The 99+% are really feeling alienated over this whole gay thing and it’s so disappointing.
SMia
You have no idea what you’re talking about. This article is about Disneyland PARIS. The Rainbow Collection sells out here every year. Thousands of people attend Magical Pride at Walt Disney Studios. Boy George performed there last time and Mika will be this year. Google it. Mickey and Minnie wore rainbow-spangled outfits and were part of a special Disney Pride parade to a dance beat version of “So This Is Love” from Cinderella. The LGBTQ+ community makes up over 10% of the population even if you only take into account people who are openly queer. It’s likely much higher considering how many people are forced to remain in the closet. And if you look at the actual Disney company? Openly queer people have been doing a substantial portion of the creating for DECADES. If you’ve ever given Disney money, you’ve supported one of the first companies to offer same-sex partner benefits. You’ve helped one of the first companies to hire openly gay animators and lyricists. Walt was a businessman first and foremost. He drank and swore and smoked and would have gone where the money was. And guess what? The money is pro-gay these days. Go cry about it on Parler or something.

Conservatives are just spamming the comment section with their crazy because nobody in polite society will listen to them now. Their leaders keep getting themselves kicked off of social media by spreading lies or hate or getting caught in compromising situations with minors. They can only win elections through voter suppression and gerrymandering. Their time is over and they’re scared. They should be. The 21st century isn’t going to put up with their nonsense much longer.
AmericanbyGod
SMia, you sure are a troll…a flaming angry troll. All you’re doing is spreading hate from your homosexual ideology. I want to tell you how sorry I am that your parents, the man and woman they are that procreated to bring you into this world, failed as parents to raise such a hateful delusional leftist. They may support you now, but, you know they were devastated when they first found out you were gay. Parents that plan to have children always hope their kids will grow up, start a family and start having them some grandkids. Unless you were an accident, and then, they chose not to abort you, but you support that too. Well, here you are, living the dream. Have a Magical day.

I took my 3 year old to the magic Kingdom for a day back in November of 2021. I can safely say after that trip I will never personally go back and it has nothing to do with politics or anything like that. To me it just seems like the magic has died alot. Our yearly family vacations to Disney were always about leaving the outside world behind for a week and visiting a place where everyone was special and it was reasonably priced. I’ve never waited in lines like I did on my last trip even though Disney claims they were operating under reduced capacity. The mobile food ordering system is severely flawed and waiting 45 minutes for a meal with a 3 year old was a nightmare. I paid for the photo pass because it used to be a great deal but this trip saw maybe 3 photographers In the whole park when they used to be everywhere. For me it just seems like alit of the magic has gone away in the name of making a few extra dollars.
Paulo
They lost their way and magic.

Of cause Disney did, they are on another Planet to the rest of us…
Prices go up and up, but the value, quality and experience goes down and down.
Its not worth it, these days. Travel from the UK to Disney Paris, for what we pay, its almost the cost to get to Florida, and to be honest I’d rather spend my money in Universal including their better qulity and value hotels, where a holiday is a holiday and one does not have to jump through many hoops that Disney expect.
Disney how the mighty has fallen, you could learn a lot from Universal, from Customer Service, Value, Quality and Relaxed environment. No advance reservations and pressure to mobile order, no getting up at 07:00 to book a Lightning Lane etc, Disney you have lost your way.
I fear while Chapek is still the CEO you will never find your way back. Just like me after 20+ years of loving Disney and staying on property, I’m done with them until things change. Shame on you Chapek and the rest of your greedy worthless board.
Paulo
Very true.
Ghost
Stop giving your money to these people who only tolerate you because you’re giving them your treasure.

I love it when he diddles with my bean to get my cavern moist. Knead it and beat it ip Daddy!

Disney has completely gone away from the values that made it a family destination that appealed to our inner child and actual children. This will ultimately bring it down unless it course corrects.
SMia
People said the same things about desegregation, Paulo. The people on the side you’re arguing for would probably shun you based on your “foreign-sounding” name. Disney is still a family destination. It’s also a business. As such, it’s appealing to the vast majority of families that are raising their children to be open-minded. You’re deluded if you think it will result in Disney’s downfall. They already have plenty of support with or without conservative bigots. And if they openly embraced and started actively representing all groups of people in their films? They might lose the support of a handful of Middle Eastern countries and maybe Russia, but they’d get so much overwhelming support from liberals who currently don’t give them money that it wouldn’t matter. The rainbow collection sells out every year. This article is about Disneyland Paris, a resort that hosts a very successful annual Magical Pride event. Nobody cares if bigots boycott. You’re in the minority.
Paulo
I agree
SMia
It’s wall-to-wall people in every park. By all means, stay home. The lines will be shorter for the rest of us, and the atmosphere will be nice without all the bigots.

Death of a Company.

Of course the GREEDIEST company on earth is raising their prices. We were there for 10 days in February and it was too crowded to enjoy the parks. We spent thousands of dollars and had the worst vacation of our lives because we could not get on rides, could not get food because you have to order on the app and the wait is in hours, not minutes (could not even get a table at our deluxe resort and had to eat crappy quick service food the whole time).
When we booked our trip, we were Disney lovers and so excited. Now our mantra is “done with Disney”. Forever.
