    The current executive team is destroying what Walt built simply to charge families more money. It’s disgusting!

      There are so many reasons that disney isn’t what it used to be.

      One of them is so many more people go to disney. Even with more hotels,ore attractions etc there are so many more visitors. They increase price for a several reasons. 1. To lessen the number of people that visit. 2. To make more money.

      I remember when I was little almost nobody went to Disney. Now everybody goes to Disney.

      The other thing that ruins Disney is these reward members or vacation crew members. They go so many times per year and clog it up.

      I wish they would do away with these vacation club members. When I was down there last year, the couple next to us in a pool told us it’s their third time this year going.

      I’ve taken my kids to Disney twice. One time I spent the day in animal Kingdom and that was it. The second time we went we spent one day doing a park hopper and got to see 90% of what we wanted to.

      I will take them probably once more in the next few years for a day or 2 and that’s it.

      We traveled Europe and Mexico and the Caribbean the last 2 years and I think we prefer those destinations better and cheaper.

        Without DVC, there wouldn’t be as many hotels. Certain sections/buildings at the deluxe resorts were built FOR DVC members. We wish non-members were not allowed to pay cash to stay there! That makes it hard for members to use the pts we pay for every year when we want to use them. DVC members have an “ownership” interest in their resorts and their dues and fees pay for the maintenance and upkeep of the DVC resorts.

        Disney used to have different resorts to fit everyone’s budget, but now there’s really no value at the value resorts, and moderate resorts arw not moderately priced! Families can stay in “good neighbor” or other nearby hotels for a cheaper price with breakfast included. Disney needs to rethink their prices!

        Aww Mike thinks we care what he does with his family

          Aww, Becca thinks we’re supposed to care that she doesn’t care about someone else’s feelings and experience. Maybe you’re just jealous that you don’t have a family to go places with?

            Not everyone can be as lucky as me to have 10 cats. Who needs friends anyway Becca, I bet you enjoy having human friends. Wierdo

      If we were not DVC members, we would not be able to afford for our family of 4 to go at all. As members we don’t go running to all 4 parks every visit as it’s too expensive, but we get to just relax and enjoy , which is what vacation should be!
