Life is Golden (05-23-2022)
"Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." Joseph Stalin
The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.
Most people don't give one squirt of runny shit about Florida or Disneyland.
But most Americans are more concerned that home ownership or rent is not affordable anymore.
The Stock market bubble started busting just last week, and the Real Estate bubble is next.
If Disney wants to survive- they will move out of Florida and chooses a state that is not a refuge for Criminal ex-Presidents, retired Asshole Republicans, and Trumptarded Governors.
If Disney is charging too much, they will suffer and lower the price... its called capitalism.
Should they not be free to charge what they want?

The interesting thing, though, is it remains crowded. Clearly they're not having trouble finding people to go.
Part of what's going on is probably regional differences in what constitutes an average family. Look at places like DC, MD, MA, NJ, HI, and CA. A median household in those areas earns between $80k and $92K. At the other end, if you're in MS, WV, AR, LA, and AL, it's more in the $45k-$52k range. That's an enormous difference.
Then there's the difference in family sizes. In MA, a family has 1.7-1.8 kids, on average, whereas in Mississippi it's 1.91-2.

So, where the idea of taking the family to Disneyworld may seem like an insane expense for a typical Mississippi family, it may seem like nothing but a small luxury for a typical Massachusetts family, which has an extra $35k per year to play with and fewer kids to bring. I expect that the stats would support the idea that the distribution of who is going to Disney has changed over the last couple decades, from being disproportionately those within a few states' drive, to mostly people jetting in from the wealthier states of the Northeast and West Coast.
they would become more affordable - as they have to compete with each other
Disney would of already lost their rights to Mickey Mouse. others as well. competing corporations would be running their own house of mouse brand entertainment if we could get them to stop lobbying government for special favors.

The logistics at Disney are great if you pay a premium.... stay at a monorail resort, like the Grand Floridian or the Polynesian, and you just hop on the monorail and you're there in no time flat -- and the short trip there is scenic and pleasant. But, you also pay a fortune for those accommodations.

Ironically, the big reason they've got that is because Republicans were basically paying them off for political contributions. The euphemistically named "Mickey Mouse Protection Act" is, of course, more formally called the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act -- named after the corrupt Republican Congressman whom Disney purchased to take the lead on it.

no. they limit the sale of tickets and require a "reseravtion" as well to keep the overcrowding
But you put your finger on it.
American families are being priced out and richer foreigners are taking their place
That's all the OP said, and was intended..
There is a general loathing around here for Diz even though a lot work there.
