Worth the price of admission?

[kpk89]

OK, I know that Disney is expensive, but really when you think about it there are many things that ALONE are worth the price of admission. What is it for you?

For me, it's ...
Spectromagic at MK
Kilimanjaro Safari at AK
Illuminations at Epcot

Not sure for MGM -- it's been a while since I've been there and I didn't like TOT and haven't seen the parades or shows there. But I bet that RnR will be worth the admission for me!

So, what aspects of each park make it worth the price all on their own?

Oh wow...

Aside from the "feeling" you get when you walk into the MK for the first time, I'd say:

MK: Spectro and Wishes
MGM: RnR
AK: Safari and exploration trails
EPCOT: Mission: Space, Mission: Space, Mission: Space.

MK:
Spectromagic and Wishes
MVMCP: the MVMC Parade!
MNSSHP: the BTYH Parade!

MGM:
Fantasmic!
The shows my DDs love (Beauty and Ariel)
Ride: RnR and ToT

AK:
Lion King Show and the Safari

Epcot:
Mission Space and TT

MK - The anticipation during the bus ride, and then the walk under the monorail tracks, thru security, past the turnstile, under the train station, and....The view down mainstreet as you suddenly realize you've made it....

MGM - RnR 100% but then again so is Fantasmic.

EPCOT - Space Ship Earth & Illuminations & Walk Around the World Each Alone Are worth it.

AK - Only been Once, But the Safari & Lion King Alone Make it.

Just my 2cents....to each their own

Just the whole feeling of goodwill I get being there!

MK- WISHES!!!!!
Epcot- the World and Living with the Land
MGM- RnR!
AK- Safari and Dinosaur

I think everything ---- even if we just sit and people watch-- its worth it.
Although I have many of the same place/things that make it seem worth the money.

MK -- Wishes, the parades
MGM -- ToT, Fantasmic
Epcot -- Illuminations, the FOOD
AK - Lion King

It's just the whole idea of this entire massive park(s) is for vacationers! I love the music everywhere (that is a huge delight), the entertainment everywhere, and the abundance of happy people! Oh, and the landscaping, the colors, and the architecture, it inspires imagination and creativity! I could go on...

I remember the first time I went and the absolute wonder I felt when entering MK and seeing the Castle for the first time. My DD was only 5, and I felt like I was her age. It was such an awesome feeling.

The last time we went (2/02), my DS had only been living with us since 9/01. He was in foster care, was 8 years old, and had never really been anywhere. To see the look on his face at that same moment entering MK, was just the best feeling in the world for me and my DH. Now when we go in April (3 years later), and he is now "our" son, I imagine it will feel just as special.

And, to top it off, we are bringing my mom who is 67 and never been. So I can't wait to see her expression.

Price of a disney vacation for our family - $2500.00

Souvineers and snacks - $500.00

Film Developing - $80.00

Seeing the shining, smiling faces of my two disney daughters hugging any of their favorite characters: Priceless

Worth every penny!

Yay! I'm so happy to know that there are others who feel the same way I do -- that the trip really is priceless, and there's no sense griping over the cost of everything, when what you get (even if you went on NO rides ...) is just so magical and amazing.



I love the DIS!

Every trip is special & priceless and worth every penny. But here are some of my tops in making it all worth the price:

MK - SpectroMagic, Haunted Mansion, & Pirates of the Caribbean
Epcot - Test Track & Illuminations
MGM - Fantasmic, Tower of Terror, & Rock n Rollercoaster
AK - Festival of the Lion King
