[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who has an annual pass to Disney. Before they moved within driving distance, they flew to Disney multiple times a year…despite not really having the money for such trips. They eventually moved to FL so they can visit more regularly. They go a lot—sometimes just for a ride or two and dinner.

Here’s why I know some friends and family judge:

1. They post pics at Disney regularly, so everyone knows how frequently they visit.

2. They inevitably get sick after visiting, and they have chronic health issues that would prompt a normal person to avoid such a germ-fest.

3. They have an active Go Fund Me for random things all the time…and yet they have annual Disney passes for their family.

I think it’s a weird mental health issue manifesting through an addiction to Disney in desperation for happiness.

FTR, I’ve been to Disney a few times (as a child and as an adult taking my own kids). It’s fun every few years or so. I’m not a hater. [/quote]

It's a story of 2 Disney experiences. There are people at the low end, like the family in the previously posted article scrimping and saving, and like your friends, and then the high end who can breeze in, stay at the deluxe resorts, pay to skip the lines and have the best time for a short weekend trip. Those people also travel around the world with their kids too. You can't really compare the two.[/quote]

Anyone can judge anyone anytime. And anyone can draw comparisons.

[b]People likely judge why anyone would opt to spend a long weekend in Disney rather than…anywhere else. [/b]

See?

PS - The luxury Disney resorts really aren’t luxury…they are just more expensive. [/quote]

Because our kids love the rides and we can afford to stay club level at deluxe resorts, which our kids also love? Is it “luxurious”? No. Do we care? No. Do they prefer the Fairmont Kei Lani? Probably. But they prefer it to Six flags, so-
