Greedy crooks? Disney only made $5.6 billion in profit last year....
Yes, would be way better if their stock did like GM's a few years ago, sunk like a rock. Shareholders got screwed, bond holders got screwed, employees got laid off, has basically destroyed an entire city.
Nothing worse than a company that makes money am I right?
Summer is NOT the offseason. The offseason at WDW is January (after the 1st) until Presidents Day Weekend, early March, early May, September (too hot, but free dining), early November, early December.
Well imo anyone who wants to stand in hour long lines for a 30 second thrill in 90 degree heat or higher is nuts..

Use Fast Pass, come early, leave during the heat of the afternoon for a swim and a nap, come back later and you'll avoid the crowds and the worst of the heat.

From this post, I can tell you've not actually been to Disney. Many of the Queue's are inside buildings, with interesting themes or games to play, in air conditioning. None of the rides are 30 seconds short.
I don't like waiting in lines at all, but Disney is the best in the business at easing the pain. Check out Toy Story ride queue, the kids love it.
Everyone should be able to visit disneyworld or disneyland but its tough for low income folks. Universal studios in ca is cheaper to visit so that might work out better.

It's not that much cheaper. Full price, one day passes at the gate:
Universal is $84 for adults and $76 if you're 48" tall or less
Disneyland is $92 for 10+ and $86 for under 10 years of age (1 park/1 day)
Its expensive either way, but there are deals to be had if you look for them. I really try to avoid paying the full price at the gate.
Looking into a family vacation at Disney World and realize that it is no longer affordable for middle class families - it is so expensive that only rich people (i.e. upper middle class and above) can afford it.
I much agree. And also I don't think it is just Disney. It's theme parks in general. A new one not far from Disney just to get in the gate last I heard was around $70. Family of 5 = $350 and that's a lot of grits.
