Default Disney - Not

No more of my $$$ is going to Disney. Just recently heard that to stay at a Disney resort they are now charging to park overnight. I believe I read that they charge around $13.00 per night for the low end hotels and up to $31.00 per night at the higher level hotels. We usually stayed at Port Orleans Riverside which is considered at mid level. We loved the location and the fact that there was boat transportation to other areas in addition to the bus depot. The pool play area was really nice for our grandkids. Since I was born, raised & lived most of my life in Florida...thus have been going there for many years with my own children & grandkids. But no more of my money is being spent there. The last straw was in Publix today when I was looking for a new recycle bag at checkout. I picked up one of the Disney character bags and saw that it was $1.99, well I couldn’t believe it. So I then picked up another design...pretty colorful eggs. The cashier said it was $1.00, which was what I expected. So I joked wth the cashier that I surely wasn’t going to pay extra to advertise Disney! What is wrong with this picture?!? They should be paying customers for carrying around their advertising. Go ahead bash me if you will, but that is just plain ridiculous!
