A Disney vacation will now set a family of four back more than $6,000

The hefty price tag comes despite pandemic-related restrictions squeezing some of the magic out of the experience

Firework displays, shows and the iconic character parades have gone

Instead of slashing the prices to make up for the disappointment, costs have continued to climb

Since it reopened in April, Disneyland has focused on premium add-ons like an extra charge on the new Spider-Man ride to ensure a higher score

It is also now offering a $100 supersized sandwich at its new Avengers Campus

The cheapest hotel room in Disneyland in July is $463, with some costing $800

I remember watching Disney on Sunday nights as a kid in the very early 60’s.

It was good back then.

I never got into the Disney cartoon characters. Going to their amusement parks ever had any appeal to me so I’m glad we never wasted the money.
