[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get it. Disney is expensive, but at the same time, it has a low/middlebrow image and appeal. I can’t really see any truly wealthy/upper class families considering it a desirable vacation beyond maybe doing it just once. [/quote]

You obviously know nothing about the "truly wealthy".  Wealthy people still have kids who hear about Disney from school and want to go because they are kids.  If you asked my 5 year old if she wanted to go to Disney versus Tahiti, she would pick Disney.  Minus the weird adults, most people are going to Disney for their kids.
Also, given the skyrocketing prices and the high end ways to do it (Grand Floridian, Four Seasons, VIP passes, etc) I don't know why you think it has a "low/middlebrow image".  It also tends to be one of the many vacations that us wealthy take ;)  Also, when you are truly wealthy and can go anywhere, you really don't care about "what it looks like to other people".  
I preach to my kids we are fortunate to go to Disney- along with Italy, Paris & the other places :)

Yep. You DGAF what people think when you have generational wealth. You just want to make your kids happy and make memories with them.

It’s the strivers and professional class nouveau riche who still care what people think. [/quote]
