Disney greed has stopped our families – multiple families- vacations to Disneyland Parks, it is not that we cannot afford it, it is simply because now, a multiple family cruise vacation or a vacation to a “destination” region is a reasonable comparable cost option. Disney has priced itself into that very competitive tier market and out of the casual Sunday afternoon market.
In other words, the price increases won’t stop until the crowds start to drop. We haven’t been since 2018 and won’t go back until they unwoke theirselves. Until then we will go to more affordable places…..like outside.
All this nonsense about “Woke” is just that, nonsense. If you’re a bigot, or a misogynist, just admit it and move on, leave the rest of us out of it. Maybe go cry alone in your room, cause the world is so mean!
Maybe the higher prices will cut out a little bit of the people, but I think the biggest crowds are the state residents. They get amazing deals on tickets and rooms. Of course, the “average” family could always stay off site and not buy 50 pieces of merchandise each and it would make it a little more affordable.
Not any more. Disneyade it pretty clear at one point, that they really didn’t want the annual pass residents any more, and still makes annual pass residents jump through hoops.
I started to go to Disney as a child, literally from the day they opened, and had annual passes from the time they started offering them. We always went 4 or 5 times a year at least and stayed at one of the on site resorts, which I continued to do as an adult. Now…..I haven’t been to Disney since Christmas 2019.
Wonder what good old Bob is pocketing in all of these price hikes?
What is funny is that they are worried about overcrowding and are offering free dining plans to Disney Credit card Holders. Also 30% discounts on resort stay during the months of June and July. Seems like they are targeting certain demographics to get them to take a trip to the Resorts and punishing the loyal fans such as Dvc Members and Passholders that will come to the Parks regardless.
In the past year, Disney (Iger & execs) are starting to see some of the slow down post covid blitz and they are very concerned bc they are so deep in debt from very bad IGER decisions. Also, the stock is still down which contributes to the stress. They just decided to drop multiple billion$$$ on the parks. They are very worried about the slow down they see coming. They will do whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in. I’m afraid that they might have offended too many of their loyalist. This might really hurt the parks long-term. Also. Iger is ready to go and he needs to just do that bc he doesn’t have what it takes to lead the company anymore. Unfortunately, there is no one there that has a clue how to lead the company into the future. Eisner and Iger have pushed out most of the talent. Disney contracts out most of it’s projects bc of these actions. I don’t see a bright future for Walt’s company.

For someone who hates (apparently with a passion) their greed, you sure spend a lot of time there to support it.

Quiet. You might hurt MAGA vs fragile feelings.
They only attack out of fear — just like the little dog who barks at larger dogs.
Although, they form mobs. So, more like a school of fish.
Fish have tiny brains. And “poorly educated” are easily influenced into cults…like MAGA.
I guess this means MAGA are dogfish?
