Interesting Article on the "homogenization" of the "Disney Parks"

Bingo!!
I've passed on a lot of things that in the moment I WANTED. But after some thought (or seeing it worn by someone at any myriad of other locations!) I no longer choose to plunk down the cash.

I used to spend more at the parks - my spending is WAY down.

Absolutely this!

These days I grab one ornament for our Xmas tree, a shirt for younger DS and that's about it. Oh yeah, I bought some WDW pens and pencils to use at my desk at work. I spent maybe $75 total (? overestimating probably) and we were there for 12 days. Our teenagers used their own money to buy one hat and a pair of sunglasses (they left theirs at home).
