In reply to the discussion: 'The magic's too expensive': Disney is 'pricing out loyal customers' by targeting more affluent fami [View all]Bristlecone

To level set this article, I just looked at a Marriott property close to Disney and priced it for 1 room sleeping 4 ie two queens. $166 a night. I could rent a car and get RT flights from Denver for another $1k-1500. Parking is free at Disney. And this was for July 5th through the 9th - figuring that week would be pricey due to it being a busy vacation week. A 3-day pass park jumper for 4 would be another 1200k .
I have not seen the new marvel stuff and a 100$ sandwich sounds like it is something that wpuld be a Marvel Hero that feeds 6. Ill look it up to see what it is actually comprised of and I am not doubting that Disney is getting pricey, but I could do this trip for roughly 1/2 of what they are calling out here. I sense some hyperbole with this article.
Still not cheap, but what is when you need accommodations, transport, and entertainment.
