It’s a cult. Somebody convince me otherwise

Only if there are secret rituals and it’s tough to get out. I don’t think

is this about covid vaccine mandates?

There are certainly some points that would qualify

but there are multiple red flags if one honestly reads the list

brick oven

No, not really. It's an amusement park.

After giving it further thought, it qualifies on every one of those categories.

In fact, I have just recently broken out of it after being an annual pass holder

I would love to see this. They have said no every time. The cost is too high. i

The crowds are what makes Disneyland awful. I might go back if they found a price point that kept the crowds down

Slim

10/25/21 8:54am

I would be curious at what number that would come into play..

cougfanz

10/25/21 8:58am

Demand for Disneyland tickets is very inelastic. Raise prices 10% and it only decreases demand by a couple % points.

cougfanblue

10/25/21 8:59am

My wife had a case study on Disney during school, and yes, very inelastic.

Ragnar Danneskjold

10/25/21 9:00am

Does it even decrease demand? As they keep adding more lands and rides

RalphWiggam

10/25/21 9:43am

There are studies that show it decreases it a little bit. That's short-term, obviously, and holding other factors...

I have been a die hard fan for years. They have to improve capacity and flow but

Hard to argue that

Ted Lasso

Only if you go on high attendance days. It is really easy to find attendance

Not anymore. With reservastions, the new keyholder thing, and Covid, all the old

Keeping the poors out may be the best part of Disneyland

I would like to see one day a week with doubled prices but limited admittance

Wise on your part. Disney Sucks. So many better options all around Florida for the price

4 days in Disneyworld for family of 7 in March with tax ended up being $3500

OU Cougar

You can take the whole family to an all inclusive hotel in a tropical location for less

Like where? Any recommendations? I'm actively looking for something.

Punta Cana

Or buy your entire family Ikon passes and ski all season

Yet (mostly crazy) people keep paying it.

Zastava

Sounds like my Disneyworld experience in May. One of my least favorite and most expensive vacations ever

Slim

10/25/21 9:20am

well when you put it like that.

Mayor of Cougartown

10/25/21 9:23am

Can't understand why people pay $600-$800 a night to stay at a Disney hotel.

mudpupper

10/25/21 9:28am

but then they won't have a picture of a rodent or goofy dog in their room and

Mayor of Cougartown

And how could we ever live without magical rodent shaped breakfast pastries?

Zastava

10/25/21 9:36am

we simply cannont. We must pay the freight

Mayor of Cougartown

10/25/21 9:37am

Oh, believe me. I’d love to have not spent $600 to $800 a night.

Zastava

10/25/21 9:32am

Staying at the Grand Californian is amazing. You can hop back to the hotel for a nap/swim/etc right from the park.

zsmooth

10/25/21 9:50am

I can do the same at the Tropicana Inn a few steps further from the park.

Ted Lasso

10/25/21 9:55am

“A few steps further”

zsmooth

10/25/21 9:59am

That's true. But Tropicana is closer to the Disneyland than Disneyland Hotel or

Ted Lasso

Agreed - I was only talking about the Grand Californian. I wouldn’t bother with the others.

Better idea go somewhere else and do all of the napping, swimming, recreation

I’d rather just go someplace real, have real experiences, meet real people…

Zastava

Are people with lots of disposable income crazy?

No, but people who pay a premium for crowds, long lines, overrated attractions…
