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.
I consider myself well off and have never been to Disney. It just seems like a regular park with more hype.
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).
+4. rents out the entire park for an exclusive vacations
I would say: Owns Disney
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?
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.
I would go back with my kids.
Also, typhoon lagoon is very repeatable.
I have friends that used to go to Disney 2-3 times a year. They did not live in Florida. They used to spend so much money to go multiple times a year.
They are now declaring bankruptcy.
Going to Disney is just keeping up with the Joneses.
It is not just Disney, vacations in general for a family are very expensive but a lot of people are doing them. Granted some of thwm prolly have the money but I bet most don't but they do it.
I don't understand why people obsess over vacations so much. Such a weird "consumer" behaviour
I don't think this works. I know DINKs and single people who work normal jobs (and a shitload of overtime) and go to Disney like six times a year because they're total Disney freaks. Like, adult Disney people who get Disney tattoos and shit. It's a whole vibe.
No kids and they choose to go to Disney? You could go to any number of foreign cities or beautiful beaches and they choose Disney? Wtf?
Disney is for the real elites who also enjoy surf and turf to signal their rank.
Why go to any number of foreign cities when you can visit everything in Epcot?
/s
Literally what someone I knew said one time when I criticized them for going to Disney a bajillionth time instead of literally anywhere else in the world.
And there I was debating whether or not an \s was really needed.
Tell me about it. I think it's bonkers.
DINKs are already an entirely separate class tbh.
Very expensive. Hwuh huh.
My Uncle and his family are like this, his kids are adults now and they still go to Disney every year.
We're Canadian. and he is a staunch opponent of the Canadian Healthcare system, He believes that because he can personally throw money at a Doctor, that everyone should be treated that way, first paid first served.
The amazing thing to me is that Disney used to be cheap entertainment. 1955 admission was $1.10 with rides costing 10 to 35 cents. A teenager could take a date there for what they'd earn in an afternoon. Prices for movies, sporting events, and concerts were similar.
This is known as the cost disease. As manufacturing gets increasingly optimized, automated and cheap, the share of income that needs to be spent on everything else increases. For example, housing and services like live entertainment or healthcare.
Is there a "went to Disney recently and didn't like it" category?
Don't need to go there to know I wouldn't like this commercial overcrowded monstrosity
Not anymore, you're now declared an undesirable immigrant and will be deported.
Fuck Disney, fuck dividing the non-super rich
I believe this only applies to the USA portion of America and not the other 29 countries
Not accurate. Plenty of broke people go to Disney regularly. I know a couple of them.
Most of them up and move their entire lives to be within driving distance of it even when unable to afford. Disney families are something else
Yeah there's the 'goes into debt to go to disney' crowd. That's me.
