I remember our first Disney Christmas vacation in 1994 and the dollar was $0.64. Makes today's dollar look good
Oh my goodness, I was just thinking about the same thing yesterday. We did a lot of travelling to the US when our kids were quite little because my husband had to go to various places for training and we would tag along with him. His flight and the hotel was always covered so with some creative mid week pricing we were usually able to join him, especially when it was near Anaheim
but when I think of the exchange back then it was brutal! I remember talking one time with a friend who is banker and I asked him "Do you think the dollar will hit 75 cents? That would be amazing if it did" LOL, I guess it is perspective!
Of course I wish it was at par but like @sherilaine said that usually means higher gas etc here and the cost of commuting eats up a ton of my household budget so for me it balances out
