Can't the Democrats start a welfare program to fund Disneyland for everyone? After all, why should the "rich" be able to attend when they have all that money laying around?

LOL.. I have to laugh... Disney was great fun.. It still is. Admit it.. those of you complaining were the kids who were throwing up on Space Mountain, right?
Past performance does not indicate future results. I think people my feel the mouse is just getting greedy. I mean the park has paid for itself many years ago. When I fist went in the early 70s it was 9 bucks to get in. Now its 1000% higher? The avg. worker back then made about 18k a year. So if wages kept up with Disney that would put it at 180,000 a year for the avg. worker. Not even quarter of that is what the avg worker today makes. So yes its simple math that Disney is slowly out running the avg. persons ability to afford to go. Put in that its long lines and those who can afford it pay can run up ahead of you ten times by the time you wait with screaming kids to get on one ride. Then you can spend that time to teach your 8 yo what capitalism is really all about.
Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, but history tells a story worth considering.
Disney World is dramatically different than it was in the 1970s. I'm not per se justifying the price of a Disney ticket. But millions of people have shown they are willing to pay what Disney charges. And Disney continues to improve/expand their parks. Compared to other theme parks, the Disney experience is first class.
I used to go to MLB games in the 1970s for well under $10 to sit in the outfield seats. I think every pro sport has stupidly expensive tickets now - and that is just a 3 hour game.
Disney appeals to those with lots of disposable income.
Upping it $6 is not going to change too many minds.
Disney appeals to just about any family with kids. It doesn't matter how much or little disposable income they have. Some are more able to enjoy a trip to Disney - or take that trip with better accommodations.
You obviously haven't been to Disneyland if you think it caters to "the elite" and excludes "the unwashed" masses.
LOL, yes...I hear stories from people in southern California about how ghetto Disneyland really is. I've never been there; I've only been to Disneyworld in Florida 30 years ago.
