I have been to Walt Disney World more times than I care to remember. Many sections have been closed down for remodeling but the only thing that has been abandoned is Discovery Island. That was closed down because of bacteria in the water.

Of course it is their property, same as their customers are bringing their property to the trade. Disney is free to price their services as they see fit. The public is free to laugh at Disney, and trade their property for other forms of entertainment.

Anybody who supports the evil, pedo Disney corporation deserves to be gouged.

Disney is woke. They need to go broke. It’s that simple.

So let me get this right. To compete with Universal, Disney World INCREASED their prices?

They can keep it now, I have no desire to pay that kind of money. My father took our family there when it first opened in 1972 and it was great and cheap.

That would be almost $300 in today’s money. Still a bargain by today’s standards but not as cheap as you make it sound.

Hysteria! The $100 sandwich. OMG!

Oops, it feeds 6 to 8 people. Call off the hysteria.

BINGO!

I know there’s Universal Studios but it’s probably a good time for a competitor to build a rival theme park. Grimm’s Fairy Tales Park in Orlando (or nearby city?)

Your kid can get a lap dance at the local library for free.

Just sayin...

I agree.

I made the argument about Masks. If a Private Business decides you have to wear a Mask to enter, you either comply or go elsewhere.

Lots of people here disagree, which is fine. All of us are on the same side of the fence, but we still disagree on many things.

If we didn’t, FR would be as dull as watching Joementia Xiden being spoon fed Tapioca by his Caretaker, the Illiterate Doctor Jill Xiden.

Disneyland was woke 25 years ago when we were raising our children and we never took the kids there.

My grandkids and now great grandkids have done quite well with no Disney in their lives. I shunned anything Disney 30 years ago. Never again will any money of mine go toward any thing Disney.

My hero Barry Goldwater was against the civil Rights act because it took away your freedom of association. Called a racist those lunch counter protest were not his bag.

Took my kids there a few times during the 1990s. Even then, it was very expensive. Hours and hours of standing in line for things with bratty kids all around you. The only thing I liked about it was the Epcot Center food court with food and drinks from around the world. I'd get a pretzel and a beer in Germany and then sushi and saki from Japan, for example.

When the kids grew up, my wife and I started going to Las Vegas on vacation instead. Cheaper and a lot more fun!
