       The magic of Disney Land is how to make your money disappear I guess?Just saw some content about how much families pay for a week or day at Disney Land and oh my..It totally depends on when and with how many people ofc but a family of 4 paid 7-8K for a week, others spend 3.5K per day :amaze: Never been there and not planning to, is it really that mega expensive?

       @stux Sounds like the Zac Rios video I saw on the topic.It was just boggling what people were spending.We'd taken the kids to Disney World in 2012. It wasn't cheap, but even adjusted for inflation it was nowhere near what they're asking now. We did it the once, and none of us wanted to go again.

       @stux Right? People taking out loans to fund a vacation? Then taking years to pay it off?And the "Disney adults" segment?I dunno. The whole thing was just bizarre to me.

       @stux It's absurd.  It has become a "badge" of being a good middle class family.

       @stux you can do it for a lot less if you don’t buy fast passes for every ride you take, don’t stay in a Disney hotel, make smart choices about what you eat and drink and where, and don’t buy every piece of merch that catches your eye. I think the high spenders are choosing the spend as part of the experience. All of the above is much easier if you don’t have kids of course.

       @stux My Wife, Daughter, and Parents (5 total) went to Disney World over the week of Valentine's Day 2020. We started hearing the news about Covid while we were there. The cost for the 5 of us to stay at one of the on-site resorts was just under $5k in total. I'm really glad we went because there's no way we'd ever be able to afford to go back.

       @stux I paid £2.5K for a weekend staying at the Marvel hotel with my family of 4. Got an early booking deal so could have been more expensive.
