When WDW first opened, it cost $5.75 for an adult to be admitted to the park and ride 11 attractions. Parking was $0.50. These prices were certainly in line with other vacation options.For as long as I can remember, a Disney vacation has always been more expensive compared to other more traditional type vacations (i.e. going to the beach, going on a cruise, snow skiing, mountain getaway, etc..).
I don't think you fully understand.... eventually the parks will be filled by guests who don't have mortgages. Their houses are fully paid and they have money in the bank. When you have a world of 15 billion people but only room for 2 million of them, who cares about the ones with mortgages?
Disney is not the "anyone can go vacation".
See above. At $4.50 per adult for 9 attractions, and $5.75 for 11 attractions, WDW certainly was an "anyone can go" vacation back in the day. People who have been going for decades certainly did develop an expectation that everyone should be able to afford Disney. It was sort of inherent in Walt's mission statement.I think what is strange here is the expectation that everyone should be able to afford Disney
See above. It is now. But it wasn't always. To me, this is (or at least, should be) a luxury good...Disney is a luxury good, inflation really doesn't matter when it comes to luxury goods, they are in a whole different market.
This is not...
