$70 Bucks, really?

Seems quite high for a 90 minute webinar.

I just listened to another podcast that had a 90+ minute walking tour of DHS with a Disney historian, and everyone knows what the price of a podcast is.

IMO it is way out of wack price wise.

That's the beauty of opinions. They give you the choice to listen, or not listen.

I doubt that I'll purchase the webinar, even though it sounds very cool. I simply don't have the time anymore; I barely get to listen to the podcast as it is, and I haven't been in chat in who knows how many weeks.

To get this kind of experience, you would normally have to fork out Airfare, hotel, food....

We are going to have several folks over to watch it on the 110" screen. I do not think watching it on a laptop screen and hording it to myself is worth $70, but 7 to 10 folks, a bottle of wine, and snacks, sitting on the couch watching it on the Big Screen is definatly worth it!!

Its along the same lines of wrestle mania or watching a 2 minute boxing match!!

I make frequent use of webinars for training or keeping up on current trends in my field. For some I pay well over $1000.

$70 is cheap.

Question to all:

So you will pay $70 for a 90 minute webinar. One time watch and listen.

$75 to join D23. You get quarterly magazines (which you can keep), special gifts so far with each magazine (which you can keep), plus all of the other events and such included in the D23 membership.

Which one is the better deal?

Right on my man! Is there any truth to the rumor you will be able to purchase DIS gear with the webinar subscription... oh I forgot, you can already do that without the webinar

I believe you are owed an apology.

Oooooooooooo, an other chance to use my D23 emoticon:

You can easily pay $70 per person to eat in a nice restaurant. Several people could sit at the computer or television and enjoy this webinar. We all make choices on how we spend our money. If you feel the price is too high then don't sign up.

That didn't take long.

 

[LuccaDrake]

Not knowing the entire agenda for the webinar I still think $70 is a good price. I'm not sure the topics would interest me so I won't be signing up but I'm sure others will find great value in the session.

I do our company webinars and they range from FREE (sales/marketing of our software) to $300 for group training and $1800 for 1 on 1 training...so the $70 figure actually seems inexpensive IMHO.

Please, feel free to spend your money and your time however you like/see fit.

I do need to point out that not only is this an incredible price for a Disney Institute webinar (see their website if you don't beleive me) but this is content you will not see anywhere else. It was developed specifically for the podcast cruise and by the generosity of the people at the Disney Institute they are making the same content available at an incredibly low rate.

In addition, we are not making a penny on the webinar. This price is completely to cover the costs of the webinar for the Disney Institute.

I hope that as many people who can afford this, it will participate. If we can show the folks at the Disney Institute this would be worth it for them we could get more of these.

Again, if you feel you want to participate and can afford it please do. If not, then don't.

The webinar is about the history of the Walt Disney World theme parks of which is of great interest to me. None of the articles in the first D23 magazine were of much interest to me. As it grows and evolves that might change, but for now I'm not interested. Like I said above, we all get to choose what we spend our money on.

True, but that's the disappointment of it. I'd really love to watch it, but I don't think I can justify $70 for an hour long presentation. If it was $20 or 30 I probably would. But $70 seems a bit much.

Wrestlemania is 3 to 4 hours and is a little bit cheaper.

 

[Northern_Julie]

I take professional development webinars that cost a lot more. These are hundreds of dollars. I find this very very reasonable in comparison. It is a bargain considering some had travel costs to get on the boat to hear the same content.

Thanks guys for going out on a limb and asking Disney to make this available. With all the work going into the cruise it is remarkable you asked Disney to find an option for those not on the boat. I grew up saying I want to be a disney archivist and was soo jealous at the original announcement.

This is really beginning to sound like a one note symphony.

Can I ask a question?

Why is so important that others agree with you on the value of D23?

If you see a value and you feel that it's something good for you and you seem pretty strong in your convictions....why isnt that enough?

G66 has suggested that you are owed an apology.

I'll do that.

I'm sorry that is the only topic that you feel the need to discuss and that it seems so important that others see the same value that you see.

I'm sorry that you dont see a value in being able to interact with a Disney historian as opposed to just reading or listening.

And finally....I'm sorry that this seems have become an "I'm right / you're wrong" scenario, when it's really just a difference of opinion.
