That doesnt take into account the people who go annually because they have family that work there and use the free tickets they get. Who are almost universally poorer than this would have them otherwise appear to be.

There's also the "all Disnied out" class who doesn't want to waste any more money buying tickets to stand in line at "The Evil Empire."

This implies we all want to go to disney as if it is the ultimate goal to work towards. I'd rather go to the ZOO.

Eh, this doesn't quite hold up. Grandparents are retired boomers in Florida so you get to go all summer, but your parents are living paycheck to paycheck.

There's a Mickey park next to where I live (not US) but I never even considered going. I never saw it as anything other than a way to pull US tourists and children in (the two main target demographics apparently).

How much of Disney and where private jet

I went to Disney once and I have to say I was not impressed. I mean once you went and saw it why would you go back?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I mean people have different tastes. Some people like going backpacking around Southeast Asia. Some people like to just do road trips around the US. Some people like to fancy cultural things in France. And some people like Disney. It’s not going to be for everyone.

I mean, the rides are pretty fun, and I could probably spend an entire week in Epcot, but it's definitely more of an every few years thing rather than multiple times a year.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

They get new rides, new installments, new exclusive merch, etc., but you’re right for the most part.

Same. I went about 25 years ago when my kids were little, and I still think it's too soon to go back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I would go back with my kids.

Also, typhoon lagoon is very repeatable.
