[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disney is super polarizing on this thread.   I think it’s hard to say whether it’s worth it because it’s a product that has different values to different people (not like buying a coffee maker, for instance).  
In some ways, it is a unique product and so is hard to put a market value on.  The price of flying through the air like a bird?  Or walking onto the Millenium Falcon?  
There’s a few different ways to do disney that have different price points attached to them which also makes it hard to answer.  PP is correct that all travel has increased a lot. [b] One thing about disney that constantly amazes me is that they are doing constant upgrades and innovations — if you are interested in set design, engineering, world building, landscaping, there is no place like it in the world.  We’ve had tours where they point out small thoughtful details that most people don’t notice but that really affect the atmosphere.  A[/b]nimal Kingdom is effectively one of the best zoos in the world (in addition to a cutting edge facility for research into and treatment of many species), and even the aquarium at Epcot is one of the largest in the world.  We got to a lot of amusement parks because my kids are roller coaster fiends, and given the difference in safety and world building in disney versus those other parks, I’m actually surprised Disney doesn’t cost more.  Pretty much every year recently they open a new ride or world…. That does have a price tag.[/quote]

I never went until I was in my 40s. I went with DH and we don't have kids. I'd always thought of it as kind of like a cruise -- which I absolutely hated. So we only booked two nights and only planned to go to two parks. And then one of the first rides I went on was Haunted Mansion and as a writer, when I saw the creative details that went into just the space where you waited in line, I was fascinated and immensely impressed. The creativity, vision, and execution around seemingly every corner is amazing. We immediately booked another trip so that we could see and experience a lot more. [/quote]
