And unfortunately, like most Disneyland newbies, he went by WDW canon and thought you “had” to stay at an on-property hotel.
Not realizing that “One night at Disneyland Hotel” is like staying one night at the Contemporary or Polynesian just to have cool monorail access, even if it’s $600-$750 a night.
Most experienced DLR fans know that Anaheim only has THREE Disney-owned hotels, all Deluxe, and most of the Value and Moderate business is in the surrounding (some literally walking-distance) third-party Good Neighbor hotels on Hotel Plaza Blvd.
Anaheim even has its own tourist city-bus loop between the Gate, the Convention center, and the major hotels, for those who want the WDW-style bus service…Not free, but still city-bus priced.
The hardcore people set up in a tent outside of the park for 7 days and sneak into the park by hiding in the trash. They need to step up their parks game.
Disney is just a shell of it’s former self and sadly a lot of the folks who are blind and deaf to this aren’t old enough to remember when Disney actually meant something.
Just took the fam in May. I spent more on Disney tickets than I did for the hotel for a week, air fair, and knotts berry farm tickets combined! Yeah I’d say Disney has lost touch.
I just went to Disneyland and stayed at the hotel. Our trip cost us for 2 days $2,600.00. That didn’t include food or gas. But to be honest I wouldn’t change a thing. We had a great time!
So you spent well over $3,000 for 48 hours at Disneyland..and you “wouldn’t change a thing”? Either you have a 6 figure job and aren’t the average American, or you need to let another family member plan your vacations, you could have paid for annual passes to both Universal Studios and Knotts on your trip for a fraction of what you paid to stand in 1-2 hour lines for rides. I’ve been to Disneyland well over 500 times pre-Covid before Disney raised their prices to only cater to the wealthy
It was mentioned that Disneyland has received $500 million in government handouts! Why? And if that’s true, how did they account for spending all that money to justify getting it
I work at Disneyland in 1965-66, as a Matterhorn climber. They would close the park when the attendants was to high. But it seems that greed as set in with no need today.
Who wants to stand in lines all day long? Very very Sad.
Comments for Is Disneyland “Out Of Reach” For Americans?
Out there
Out of reach, out of touch, out of their minds.

Gender is a social construct using m*n and w***n should never be normalized anymore.

She isn’t a bot, most of her posts are unique. What I haven’t determined is if she is a parody or actually insane.

…Uh, I’ll go with “Actually insane” for $200, Ken.

that looks better to me since you are neither a man or woman.

The prices for what you get have definitely suffered over the years. I’d agree it seems to be slipping out of the reach of the average family.

Kind of an insane choice to spend that much on just a hotel room when there are cheaper options just right across the street instead.

Out of reach, out of magic. Just another theme park
