“Disney gets tax breaks and still charges $500 per person for a day pass?”
What tax breaks? They pay $76 million a year in county taxes and the day pass is $109.00
This article seems to do a decent job of summarizing what Disney gains and loses by being their own government. Looks like they saved about $10 million in taxes and fees in 2020 because they do not have to pay impact fees in developing their properties.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday he’ll seek to eliminate Disney’s special taxing district when the Legislature meets this week
From the web:A ticket for visiting both Disneyland Park and adjacent Disney California Adventure Park will cost $224. Those prices will take effect in March 2022. Additionally, tickets in most lower tiers will be pricier. Adult tickets for Tier 1, for Disneyland's slowest days, are the only ones to retain the same price, at $104
I havent been to Disney in decades and dont plan to go again anytime soon, so the exact cost doesnt mean much to me anyway. But the price you quoted and the prices above are not hopper passes, and they charge the same for each section of the park (Disney, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, etc).
I think they can afford to pay the going rates the rest of the state businesses pay at this point. Back when Orlando was just a bunch of swampland, I can see the tax break. Not today.
So? They can do without their exemption.
$76 million a year in local taxes isn’t much.
So for a family of 5 to go to an amusement park is now $550.00? And this does not include parking, food, drinks, souvenirs etc?
So what you're saying it's going to cost a family of 5 about $1000.00 to spend one day at an amusement park?
LOL!
They bring in $20 Million a day in Orlando on average, so less than 4 days worth. Peanuts!

You always want to be the contrarian and say stupid crap like this. Attention seeking disorder, really. They get tax breaks and you posting what you think they pay doesn’t change that fact. Moron.
