We have four kids, youngest is 17.
They are probably the only kids in America who never whined that they wanted to go to Disney World.
And we never went. I’ve seen the ticket prices and was never willing to take out a loan for a vacation.
We have three daughters, youngest is 17. They didn’t grow up with Disney anything, other than Winnie the Pooh. About 13 years ago the company I worked for had a record sales year. The owner flew everyone to Disney in Orlando. I asked my girls if they wanted to go. They looked at me and said,”Why,Daddy?” We stayed home.
Boss man didn’t like it, but I didn’t particularly care.
