There's been a lot of chatter about the astronomical price of tickets and their escalation recently... have Disney pushed it too far?
Absolutely!! I think those that have frequented Disney over the years and endured the “boiling frog” effect of rising prices and diminished experience don’t realize just how far that kind of money will get you elsewhere.I haven't been since May 2021. It's all gotten too expensive for a lesser experience and it's just not worth it to me anymore. We've done two weeks in Spain, two weeks in France, and a week in Belgium in the meantime and enjoyed those immensely. Those may sound like expensive trips, but they were less expensive than the same amount of time at WDW at a value resort with tickets and food.
Yup, two weeks in Spain for two was $6200 and the biggest expense were the flights. One week in Belgium for three people was $6400. It's made me realize just how insane Disney prices are, especially for food and drink.Somebody upthread mentioned 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS for a week for two at a Value resort. Always assumed that dream trip to Hawaii, or an Alaskan cruise, or Europe or even an African safari was out-of-reach? Price them out and see!
Actually I did price a dream trip to Hawaii. DW & I were going to go for our 30th. A 10 day trip I had estimated at around $10K (including flights, hotels, meals, some tours). Instead we're going to an AI for 6 days for around $6K.
