No. It just isn't in the top 100 places I'd like to go and visit these days...

Thats, really a good answer. I mean the price is one but age could be another.

Disneyland is too high. They also charge you to park your car in the disney lot. I would say a $25.00 all day admitence fee would be fair. Why people would want to waste $70.00 (per adult) plus parking, food & souvenirs ill never understand. I dont know the child fee. In all fairness though everything is expensive in ca. Universal studios & magic mountain are a rip off as well.

Child fee I believe is in its $50 mark. But yet, the Disney experience is and will always be the same... Even if the price goes up or if it drops... I think that the Annual Passport is alot better than what it used to be.

I think venice beach in the summer is a great place to visit. You see all sorts of weirdos & very scantly clad girls & women (floss bikinis as well). The shops & food places are high though so be sure to bring plenty of cash with you & ignore the pan handlers. The ocean & beach is quite nice.

supply and demand. disney has a legal obligation to it's shareholders to maximize profits. if that means charging $300 per ticket and $20 per hot dog then they would. if they were really shrewd they might have seasonal pricing and charge more in summer or on weekends. how pissed would people be then?

Guess no one here has heard of the program Disneyland has going now : Give a Day (Volunteer, community service)Get a day. Just did a day at the Bloomington Historical Society with 5 of my friends, ( fixed plumbing problems, got their gas welder going , did a lot of yard cleaning , Etc. ) now we all get to go to Disneyland in April for "FREE" ( still need to pay for parking and anything we eat, but it will be GREAT! Thank you to the folks at DISNEYLAND.

Pretty pissed, well the annual pass would always be a good cause but I cant see spending more than $300 on just an Annual Passport.

Your welcome, the Program "give a day. get a day" is now over, since they hit their 1 million mark! Hopefully they will be able to give some more out or do something like this again this year.
