[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you are disappointed you are doing it wrong or didn't really want to go. There's always something that doesn't go right - like a ride is down or it rains - but that is with any travel. It is expensive, but so is everything - a concert ticket seems to start at $100 now, a ticket to a football game is more. The parks are open all day, you can do a mix of fancy restaurants and packing lunch. You can pick some top things to do and then easily roam around for the rest of the day.[/quote] Completely agree especially WRT the cost of concerts, plays, sporting events. Nosebleeds at KC (RIP) were $129pp. People I talk to who didn’t like it were the same people dreading the trip in the first place. [/quote] I understand you’re comparing other events but there’s not much else my family goes to that’s $900 a day just for tickets.[/quote] You have a family of 8-9 people? That's like the size of 2 families so for a normal sized family of 4, $450 a day isn't obscene. They have a special now that is $109pp per day (4 park, 4 day).[/quote] My family is 5 and that’s when I priced out tickets for a low weekend in the spring. No fast passes and no park hoppers. [/quote] $180 pp/day sounds about right. We paid $250pp for Elite Eight tickets this past weekend. Skiiing is easily that, more with rentals. Concerts and Broadway style shows typically cost that as well, and those are for a shorter duration. [/quote] DP but the cost of Disney is not just the park tickets. It's also the food, the lightning lanes, park hopper if you do that, souvenirs, photos (some people pay for these?), etc. I get that you are wealthy, but most people don't actually ski BECAUSE it's too expensive. Concerts and broadway shows don't come with all the extras - they are 2 hour events and then you're done, so it's not comparable to a multi-day Disney trip.[/quote] For other events it’s also food, parking, mementos. Entertainment is expensive.[/quote]
