I was a hater and we had a fantastic time at kidani village. It was not cheap, but it was so much fun. Really want to go back.

Completely disagree. We much prefer the quick dining with small children. They don't enjoy hour plus meals at all, so neither do we. We have all our favorite quick service places chosen in advance.

I was kind of hoping it would hit me so I would finally get it. Why people skip going abroad, choose to get married there, etc.

It like the experience to smoking pot for the first time at a party and feeling nothing, while everyone around you is high and totally out of their mind, laughing hysterically and having this peak, transcendent experience. I was just sitting thinking "Wow, I just ate a meal comparable to the Macaroni Grill and paid $400 for it."

I enjoy Disney in small doses, but the food is terrible!

I thought so too. Then I had pineapple dole whip. Heavenly! This desert has its own cult following. I thought my friend and her husband were a bit strange for obsessing over this but now I am totally hooked. I don't even like ice cream that much.

I don't necessarily think the food at Disney is great but my kids eat super well. If my kids eat well and have a good time, that is enough for me.

Waiting with Baited Breath until the stroke of midnight 6 months out so they can pay $250 for a princess dinner that is crappy food and doesn't even include a glass of wine.

We've done it. We've stayed in a three bedroom villa at Bay Lake Tower with full butler and view of fireworks. We hav also stayed offsite at a budget motel and shuttled in with the masses.

Doesn't matter. It's mass mentality and brainwashing - secret mickeys, grumpy crowds, greedy crying kids everywhere, $20 balloons.

These Disney sheep must also be on the Trump bandwagon. Lol!

I feel sorry for you. You know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

The value of Disney?
Are you for real?
It's not some innocent childhood Mecca. It's a financially fueled marketing machine. Anyone with half a brain knows that. If you can't acknowledge that then you really are living in a world that goes beyond childhood innocence but is plain stupidity.

I have an ivy league MBA and can appreciate how well run Disney World operates. I always appreciate their business practices. We have a 7 figure HHI and think the price point is more than fair. I don't mind paying extra to stay on the monorail. I am a planner and enjoy building our itineraries. Our family wakes up early and get to the parks for rope drop and never wait longer than 20 minutes. We don't stay too long. We return back to our resort and hang out at the pool. Everyone has fun.
