Yep. For the first time in 45 years you have to pay from $19 to $25 for parking at all of the Disney Resorts. That on top of the recent increase in ticket cost. And don’t forget that the state of Florida, Orange County, and the municipality add about $53 per day for a stay in one of their resort hotels. As the article says it’s easy to spend $5K a week for a family of four.
That said, it’s still a great way to spend your money. There really is no place like it. And if you’re smart, you can get FastPass’s so you can scoot right into your favorite attractions. (No I am not affiliated with Disney in any way. We just like Disney World.) Flame away. :-)
I live in the Tampa area and we have season passes. It’s a great value and lots of fun, but you won’t convince the “Disney is Satan” crowd. If you look for the bad, you surely will find it. If you go to have fun, you will find that as well.
You can also bring the disabled relative who you haven't seen for years.
No flames from me. Been several times and loved it. Last time was at a family member’s timeshare..saved a bundle.
