    Speaking of Oscars

    A few of my favorite actors haven't won any and I don't think they will. lol, mainly because I swear they are one brick shy of a full load. Joaquin Pheonix Johhny Depp. I really enjoyed Captain Jack Sparrow. I also like Mark Ruffalo, but don't think he's even been nominated.

    Why give Florida residents a discount?

    It's a symbiotic relationship. a lot of times company's actually get huge tax breaks for doing business in a state. So I'm willing to bet Disney doesn't have a huge tax burden. One shining example of how pissing your return visitors off can bite you in the you know where is the Casino industry...

    SIL (62) planning to go on SS with no savings(Update #77)

    That's so sad. like I said, "money" is a really strange bird. so many bad decisions come from simple emotions. Many old folks get in over their heads because they don't want to "burden" or "worry" their kids, seemingly smart folks make dumb moves because they don't want to get help because...

    SIL (62) planning to go on SS with no savings(Update #77)

    See to me RV, this isn't so much as being bad with money as she's been in some serious emotional upheaval and simply not able to clearly see all the options. Why do you think they tell people who have suffered a serious loss (such as spouse or kid) NOT to make big decisions. When my mom died...

    SIL (62) planning to go on SS with no savings(Update #77)

    We've been studying this issue for a while at my job. Money is really a very interesting concept, so much of our background and environment influences our thought pattern. For example, my dh and I really never had credit card debt, not because we understood the cc trap but simply because when...

    Foreclosure ?

    lol don't sweat it Joe. Ive been here for awhile and I'm amazed at what folks can remember and will go back and search. Heck, I call my kids by the wrong name and get an attitude when they don't answer me.

    I totally agree with this take on the new tier pricing plan.

    lol, my way of beating it is to go elsewhere. so not only do I not spend the ticket price but they lose (not a great lost overall to the company) the revenue from eating, drinking and souvenirs I recognize I'm one little speck in the Universe that is Disney but I vote with my money. I'm...

    I totally agree with this take on the new tier pricing plan.

    yes but the problem with that is that it's unsustainable. shareholders tend to be ravenous entities that always have to be feed regardless to market conditions. Many companies are finding that out now. they can't get the revenue from sales to feed the shareholders so they turn to other...

    Tiered Ticket Pricing ... what would Walt think?

    You must not follow professional sports, lol. when the new Yankee stadium was built there certainly was plenty of outrage over the cost of seats, with many high profile ticket holders giving up their seats and if you go to the budget board right now you will find a thread about the ridiculous...

    I totally agree with this take on the new tier pricing plan.

    And greedy people take advantage of others in times of chaos. Doesn't make it right. Because you CAN price gouge doesn't mean you should.

    Anyone see their yearly WDW vacations ending???

    Oh I have to disagree Irish. I know when I am getting less for my money. when you cut back on staff so that my room isn't up to psr, that's not comparing the good olé days, that's lousy service. When you raise the price of an item consistently while giving less, that's not the "good olé days"...

    Anyone see their yearly WDW vacations ending???

    100% We are dvc members. I had two contracts, sold one this summer. we were annual visitors since 2001, sometimes 2x a year The product is definitely not worth the asking price. I'm holding onto my smaller contract until 2018. hopefully all the new attractions will be up. I'll reevaluate...

    Do I have a right to be worried?

    Actually not questioning it at all BUT I do know sometimes uber planners get into a "zone" with trying to plan the "perfect" trip that you make the exact people who are going on the trip miserable. Now its great that you enjoyed spending the time you did on a vacation, it made you happy. not...

    Do I have a right to be worried?

    Umm dude, not to sound flippant but you realize these are theme park tickets and not the down payment for a house. Chill. Isn't the honeymoon the time you are so over the moon happy about being with your bride, not stressing over get ride reservations?? Some times we stress over trying to...
