I love Disney World

[Anonymous]

I grew up in Florida so I'm kind of over Disney...but taking my 5yo last summer and watching his eyes light up when seeing Mickey and Friends made me tear up just a bit. That's what made the entire trip worth it.

10:44 we do the same as you and find it relaxing and fun. Our dd loves the pool parties in the afternoon. Gives us all a break

Waiting with Baited Breath until the stroke of midnight 6 months out so they can pay $250 for a princess dinner that is crappy food and doesn't even include a glass of wine.

We've done it. We've stayed in a three bedroom villa at Bay Lake Tower with full butler and view of fireworks. We hav also stayed offsite at a budget motel and shuttled in with the masses.

Doesn't matter. It's mass mentality and brainwashing - secret mickeys, grumpy crowds, greedy crying kids everywhere, $20 balloons.

These Disney sheep must also be on the Trump bandwagon. Lol!

I feel sorry for you. You know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

The value of Disney?
Are you for real?
It's not some innocent childhood Mecca. It's a financially fueled marketing machine. Anyone with half a brain knows that. If you can't acknowledge that then you really are living in a world that goes beyond childhood innocence but is plain stupidity.

Your snide remark aside, it's great that many people are able to enjoy a fun vacation with others who also take pleasure in seeing the joy on their children's faces. Whatever your preference, hope you have a great time there as well! Life is to enjoy!

For every child with joy on their face are 10 kids who are crying because they are tired of waiting in line, crying because they are overtired, crying because they want this or that and mom says no, crying bc they don't want to leave, crying bc they have to have another Mickey bar, crying bc they want a spinning light that costs $20 and breaks in less than a year.

Reality check, people!

Reality check, yourself. Those are parenting issues that you listed and not the experiences of my kids or grandkids

I hate people like this. I've only been to Disney once in my life so I'm hardly a die-hard, but it's fun and kids love it. It's fine if it's not your thing (I happen to dislike most Disney movies myself), but insulting and laughing at the millions of people who like it is just plain mean and spiteful. That superiority complex must be heavy.

Extremely heavy

I've been to Disney twice and have never noticed crying children. I mean, there must sometimes be crying children, but all of the children I saw seemed content or happy. My kids certainly didn't cry but they were 8 and 10.

I have an ivy league MBA and can appreciate how well run Disney World operates. I always appreciate their business practices. We have a 7 figure HHI and think the price point is more than fair. I don't mind paying extra to stay on the monorail. I am a planner and enjoy building our itineraries. Our family wakes up early and get to the parks for rope drop and never wait longer than 20 minutes. We don't stay too long. We return back to our resort and hang out at the pool. Everyone has fun.

Ooooh an ivy league MBA with seven figure HHI...then you really should see what a farce Disney is! But maybe you're too out of touch with reality living the life of the 1% to really understand it. Yes, of course for you Disney is "affordable." So is a trip to Kenya or a trip to the moon for that matter. The price point at Disney is NOT reasonable or more than fair for the rest of us mere mortals who earn maybe $200k/year. Lol. Talk about needing to get a reality check....

+1. That PP probably also has a personal chef, two nannies, cleaning ladies, and only shops at Whole Foods (another "bargain," I'm sure). OMG so funny and out of touch.

Everyone knows Disney is expensive for what it is. You go knowing it's crazy to spend $5 for an ice cream bar or cupcake or $8 for a hot dog. IT's like going to the ballpark, but only for an extended period of time. And, yes, they suck you in.

Love it or not, it is what it is. Some people love it and don't mind falling prey to the advertising tactics and embrace the culture. Others are disgusted by it, and with their own right.

Aha... the problem with the meanest Disney hater is that she can't afford it.

Yes, it's expensive and corporate. Plenty of people think it's still worth it and fun.

What is with this "falling prey to" and "sheeple" stuff? Like people have no idea what else exists in the world and only go to Disney because of marketing? If that's what you believe, you are the one who is pretty small minded...

I am not your typical Disney person (is there such a thing?) and was not planning to take DD. That said - we did go this past year and honestly I LOVED it. We won't be going back any time soon because there are lots of things we like to do that aren't Disney - but we really had a fantastic time.

This was not my observation. Sure do kids have meltdowns? Yes. But I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at Disney
