Has the cost of Disney World become unaffordable for the average American family?

Maybe some of these woke companies will learn the results of their politics.

 
Disney was a good place to go with our kids, especially at Christmas time. We would spend two days at Fantasy Land, a day at Epcot and a day at Warner's(?). The adults get to experience the technology of the places and the kids get to enjoy the rides. The evening parades and fireworks really are fantastic, but a person can't do that but every 5 years or so.
 
I never understood why people were drawn to that place. Epcot was interesting the first time we went, the other venues are overpriced, overcrowded, and over hyped. It's a fake rat.
 
My brother-in-law worked for ABC. He had passes that he could give to family members. In 2001 we took the kids and our exchange student to Disney in Florida. We stayed with a friend who lived about an hour from Disney. We had a good time, but I was shocked at the prices, and realized as a family of 5 we would have never been able to justify going if it were not for 5 free passes for the day and staying with our friend.

We spent the other days of our vacation on the beach and her pool... we actually had more fun at the beach and pool as a family... and I have never been to Disney again.

I doubt I will go again since it is so obvious at this point that Disney is dangerous to the mental health of children.
 

VILLA RICA, GA—On the way home from his family's long-anticipated trip to Disney World, toddler David Hayes informed his father that the Magic Kingdom had come up just short of a trip through the car wash.

"Daddy! No more Disney! I wanna go to the car wash!" said David from the backseat. "Mr. Clean's is sooo fun! It's my favorite!"

After donating plasma and taking out a reverse mortgage to afford the trip to Disney, Mr. Hayes had been optimistic the "Happiest Place On Earth" would top Mr. Clean's. "But David," said Mr. Hayes. "There were fireworks, roller coasters, shows, Stormtroopers, gorillas—and you even got to be in a show! Wasn't that amazing?"

"I guess," said David. "But the car wash has those cool lights that change colors! And I don't have to walk anywhere. It's the best! Can we please go Daddy, please?"

"What—what happened?" Mr. Hayes asked his wife, seated in the passenger seat beside him.

"I think we just wasted eight grand," she responded.
