I don't know about any of you, but when I was a kid the possibility of going to Disney was never even a thought. We were on food stamps at one point and it never made me sad. I never felt that I went without. We went to the Rhode Island beaches once every couple of years and the rest of the time we played with all the other kids in the neighborhood who could not afford to go to Disney. In fact I can't think of anyone I knew as a child who did go to Disney. I think too much is being made about the price increase. I will say that as an adult I have been maybe half a dozen times to many of the theme parks in the Orlando area and I love them. I'm not going to admonish any business that is willing to price themselves out of any segment of the population. If someone feels left out, then that is something to work toward, a goal if you will. Everyone need a goal, even if it is one as frivolous as being able to afford to go to a theme park.
