The middle class is thriving and able to pay for this. Everyone’s 401k is up 300%. Gas is down. Good times are here finally… right? RIGHT?
If people will pay it, they will raise it
As an pass holder the price increases are near a breaking point for me. I like being able to go once or twice a month but I really dislike how much I feel like I’m being gouged lately.
The other part of this is not just the price but the “shrinkflation” part of it where they are slowly using “blackout” dates to limit pass holder’s accessibility which further lowers the value of the pass. After I renewed my pass this year I learned that I didn’t have a SINGLE weekend day that I could go from now until the end of the year. The whole point of getting the pass I have is so I can go without taking a day off of work.
They could, at this exact moment, triple the price of everything and tons of people will still go.
As long as people continue to pay it, they will continue to raise it.
Come on lefty’s say it with me GOUGING and corporate greed!
At this point I’m confident that 90% of people are comfortable going into massive amounts of credit card debt and will pay any price Disney throws at them.
That second slide is an extremely confusing way to show that data. Why not have both as a line graph?
I have coworkers who take their families to Disney every year. I have no idea how they afford it. We make the same money.
I guess I haven’t been to Disneyland recently enough to know what a key is
This isn’t admission. It’s for annual passes.
This makes me glad I don’t have children 😳
In another graph of inflation by type of good or service, live entertainment/tickets were the #1 category of inflation. I don’t know that Disney is at all out of line with their particular industry/sector.
