I agree with the bolded statement. If anything I would be totally fine with the Premier Pass that Disneyland Paris has that lets you do up to 12 of the most popular attractions for 90 euro (so about $96 USD) but have it priced accordingly in WDW.
Exactly! People think Disney park tickets are astronomical. They just aren’t.
Universal. Right in Orlando.
I'm happy that Genie+ didn't interfere with your ADRs but unfortunately it has for many others, including myself. On one of my MK days last week I tried to buy a ILL for Mine Train at 2 pm, but then it moved to 3:30 and then by the time my payment went through it was at 5 pm, the exact same time as my dinner at Jungle Skipper. I had to get the CMs at the blue umbrellas to help me, which they did but they told me if there are no LLs available they are unable to do anything. If there had not been anything available I wouldn't been screwed regardless. My group even decided to skip an ADR on our HS day because we didn't want to deal with trying to fix any Genie+/ILLs.
But that is part of the problem. It's not just about ticket prices. When people complain about these things its coming from being fed up about the full picture. About all the things that are increasing in price at Disney World while the perks are disappearing. A trip to disney world is one of the most expensive trips you can take. People are rightfully upset when prices increase and not just that things don't get better with the price increase but things are being taken away and getting worse. I'm perfectly fine with increasing prices. It happens everywhere with everything. What I'm not ok with and frankly nobody should be ok with is prices increasing but the quality of the product and service declining.
Universal just dropped another ticket deal. Not sure they are the best comparison right now with Disney when it comes to ticket prices...
No it’s not. You are comparing apples to oranges. You’re taking the totality of an entire Disney VACATION and comparing that to someone who makes a day trip to six flags.
Ah but our trip to Hawaii was a fraction of the cost to Disney..and our honeymoon to St. Lucia (at an all-inclusive for 8/9 nights at Sandals) less than Disney.
I didn't make a comparison like that at all. What I did say is that people are getting fed up with prices increasing and the product/service declining. Not sure where you got that comparison from.
I’m responding to the person saying Disney was one of the most expensive trips you can take. It’s just not. Anyone can go to Hawaii cheap. Especially if you live on the west coast.
You're giving them ideas
What you said was Disney is one of the most expensive trips you can take. It just isn’t true. Like any vacation it can be as much as or little as you want (within reason).
Disney is one of the most expensive trips you can take. It's not on me that you took that as me saying it is literally the most expensive trip you can take.
They did this in Disneyland Paris. Apparently some of the prices went down a little bit because not a lot of people were buying them. I think if WDW did this it would be an absolute disaster. Just bring back the ticket book while we're at it LOL
Anything can be “one of” if that’s what you chose. A trip to Walmart can be one of the most expensive trips that I make.
Yes, I know lots of people have had lots of negative experiences....but that doesn't change my positive experience. (ETA a post seemed to continue a string that I had partcipated in, so I responded.) It's a bummer that your HS day was negatively impacted- it's a hard park to deal with even without complications.
I brought up the entire vacation because it is relevant to people being upset about products and services being taken away from all aspects of their trip while prices are going up.
