Disney is such a rip off!!!!!!

I agree with everything everyone said. I usually just smile. Some people just don"t "get" it, but I sure am glad that my family always has and that I have found such a great place to talk about Disney with people who do "get" it!!!

For those who "get it", no explanation is necessary; for those who don't "get it", no explanation will do.......

I'm like Dan. I WAS one of those people like your SIL. I never understood the appeal or this so called "magic".

My first trip was in 1999 when I was 44. I've gone 4 to 5 times a year since.

People who are uninformed or don't read this board CAN be ripped off! They go and spend thousands more than they could if they were informed. They have no idea how to use their time or save their money so like with anything else, they come back frustrated.

Lucky for us, we KNOW better!

Like others here have said, they just "don't get it". One of my favorite replies to them is - "Been there, Done that, Going back!"

Dan, I wish I had a dollar for everytime I've heard the "just another amusement park" line. It's usually from someone who's never been there.

My best argument is that if you want to go someplace and eat greasy food and then go on rides so you can toss it, then you go to an "amusement park." If you want to go someplace and be entertained, educated, relax, and still have some options for thrills, you go to WDW!

My DH was somewhat like that after our first trip in '96, but in '99 he got a little bonus at work and instead of paying bills he agreed to a trip. Then last April out of the clear blue sky he said, why don't we go to FW? (we had just gotten an RV) We went last September. Some people "get it" right away, some it grows on you
