In reply to the discussion: Disney parks price out the middle class [View all]Takket
(23,562 posts)they point out Disney is expensive by quoting the prices of the most expensive meals and hotel rooms on property? very misleading. That's like saying its costs thousands of dollars to take your family to a baseball game by quoting the price of catered luxury box that seats 20.
Disney's all star hotels cost less per night then most hotels you find off a highway exit in the middle of nowhere, and feature complimentary transportation so you don't even need to rent a car. and it doesn't cost $100 per day for admission. the average daily price goes down with each additional day's ticket you buy.
yes the average admission price (in comparison to a gallon of milk) has gone up, but since the magic kingdom opened in 1971 it has expanded, and Disney has added not 1, not 2, but 3 additional theme parks, and while I'm sure Disney wishes they did, the people that work in those parks don't do so for free, nor does the electric company give them free lightning and A/C. In other words it costs them a LOT more per day to open the parks in 2015 then it did in 1971.
