[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Well, they do. Shocking as that may be to you. They have no problem dropping $12,000 for a guided tour for the day. Lots of them. And that doesn't even include the entry tickets.[/quote]

I've never heard of the guided tour?  What exactly does that entail?[/quote]

Disney employee walks around with you and you get to go to the front of the lines of all the rides. They help plan out the things you are interested in and walk you the most direct path, etc. It’s a 7 hour minimum and starts at $900/hour and goes up from there based on date. Up to 10 people can be in your group. Tickets and food are not included.[/quote]

Thank you!  I've never heard of that.  That's wild [/quote]
I remember seeing these guides in the 70s. They wore blue plaid skirts, knee socks, vests and a rounded hat. They looked like Mary Poppins, leading groups right to the front of every line.[/quote]
