[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just reserved a nice 2 br AirBNB in Rome 15 min. walking distance to all the sites for 8 nights…$2500.  Just saying.[/quote]

I’ve been to Rome twice. Is it your first time? Do you think people who go to Disney aren’t also well traveled?[/quote]

Different poster, but I think it’s a reasonable assumption that a majority of Americans who go to Disney have never left North America [/quote]

I'm well-traveled but also love Disney.  To each their own.  The NYT article was interesting, and accurate.  When we go to Disney World we stay deluxe, do the passes to by-pass lines, and don't really worry about budget because we can afford it.  We're going this fall and I think the trip will be about $6K.  I don't know how a middle-class family can afford Disney World now.  I grew up on the other coast in a solidly middle-class family and went to Disneyland at least annually.  It was a different time - you just bought tickets when you arrived and stood in line for rides.  There weren't "enchanting extras" or fancy dining.       [/quote]

It sure is. With time,  Mickey has figured out how to vacuum every possible dollar out of your wallet.[/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted, and this is the point made in the NYT article.  Back in the day the spending money was from the middle class and that's who they catered to.  Not the case anymore with the growing wealth disparities.  They've realized that there is a component that will pay to have the experiences expedited (guilty as charged), and that's who they cater to now.[/quote]
