DVC owners have had enough of the huge costs just to enter the parks (including Genie, surge pricing, and a few ILL etc, since 2015 prices for park entry are up about 270% or roughly ten times inflation). DVC owners are finding new places to vacation and off loading. This next trip could be our last, I can no longer justify park ticket prices which cost around the same as a weeks package holiday now to take my family to Spain (including all inclusive hotel and flights- I’m in the U.K.).
In fact I‘m just looking at taking 3 of us to Qatar in a 5 star all inclusive hotel with food and all beverages for a week which is very high end , including flights with Qatar Airways for almost exactly the same as it will cost for our next park tickets for 4 alone for a week, with Genie added and 2 ILL. That is how mad the situation has become.
My kids now want to see the rest of the World (we always come 1-2 times a year), and it’s Japan next summer, maybe South Africa, and Thailand, as well as Australia in upcoming years. This jump in thinking was triggered by the sheer unrelenting greed of Disney.
I wasn’t surprised to see Mine Train remains an ILL despite Tron opening, and I’m not surprised to see
Genie+ double in price on certain days from launch price.
The company kind of sickens me now, so all I can do is vote with my feet.
