(2,971 posts)48. I'm not a millionaire. Granted, I'm single, so I'm not taking a kid or three with me.
capacity crowds 360+ days a year
Hardly. Disney World (for example) has many times throughout the year when crowds are light to moderate. Check out a crowd calendar.
lessened attractions
Er...which ones are you speaking of? While the attractions of early Disneyland certainly have a nostalgic charm, I'd rather go on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
than the Astro Orbiter!
As for cost: One knows what one is paying up front. There's no "con". If someone spends more than they can reasonably afford, surely that's on them, not the Mouse.

Awesome! Think when I was a kid admission was $12 and an average ticket book around another $10

I'm certainly one such, having visited all six Disney parks at least once.

Thanks! So, do I even want to know how much a day Tokyo Disneyland ends up costing?

Suprisingly affordable. A two-day ticket (bare minimum to see everything) is $135.

Someday, hopefully soon, they will have priced themselves right out of business.

Disney is selling a product. Some people are willing to pay for it, others aren't.
