My husband found this and thought I might like it....and I DO!!! Actually it’s a nightshirt, but I use it as a dress or shirt.
We enjoy Disney and especially the resorts. As frantic as things can be here, seemed worse in Anaheim...smaller park, pain in the neck to get there on the freeway. I must admit, I could take it or leave it until we became DVC members.

We have been fans of Port Orleans for many years and have had our fill of Disney to last quite a few more years. I find it unacceptable to be paying for parking @ $19 per night. They already charge plenty for the experience enough is enough. As a side note for about 4 years post 9-11 when people were apprehensive about traveling by air we got great deals on lodging at Port Riverside the average was $110 per night one year we even paid $99 per night. I noticed the rates are now around $250 per night. We will occasionally head to Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney) to take in the sights but that's about it. I hope they are not charging to park at Disney Springs.

I love Disney and I am willing to pay...do I wish it was less expensive...of course...my husband plays golf and has the priority membership (which I don't understand) and he plays outside the Villages and spends some really good cash doing that (which I don't understand) so Disney haters and think it is overpriced (you just don't understand...LOL)

My wife and I first went to Disney as young adults and we absolutely loved it. We brought our son to Disney many times and he always loved it (still does). Disney has changed dramatically over all these years as have we. One thing hasn't changed - our love of Disney. We have annual passes. We try to avoid crowds. We are never in a hurry. We don't have to go on any particular ride since we have been on all of them, often. If there is some new and very popular ride, we can wait a bit to try it. We might go just for dinner. We might make a trip just for the fireworks. It is just over an hour from our place in The Villages. When it is just the two of us, we never stay at the resort hotels so the cost of doing so is very rarely an issue. We fully recognize the costs and difficulties of bringing the family (as all four of my siblings have done with their families). When it is just us, Disney is still a very magical place.

We, like you, visited the Magical Kingdom (WDW) as young adults...on our August honeymoon almost 42 years ago. We could see the framework of Spaceship Earth in the developing EPCOT. We then took our children and now take our grandchildren even though we live in another State. AND It's still Magical! Of course, it's not for everyone, but we are both looking forward to purchasing annual passes so we can take in just the event/park that we want to see. It's nice to hear from someone who still loves Disney after all of these years!

When first moved here, bought year round FL rate annual Pass since it included parking, then when prices went way up bought FL Seasonal Pass which now includes parking, just changed to Weekday FL Seasonal Pass. We don't stay overnight. Just hard to book dining and FastPasses on our quickly planned trips.

Used to have Magic Kingdom Club which I let my parents use for their Winter escape, four nights at Contemporary or Polynesian, several meals and a dinner show, plus park hopper tickets, cost less then just tickets now.

Disney is hurting with their other divisions especially ESPN and is using the Parks to make up the losses.

Favorite in MK is Carosel of Progress, first saw it at 64-65 NY World's Fair. Liked it better when rides were extra and then admission cheaper. Many don't want to ride their wild rides they are building.

They need a new Park, bring back Horizons and other good attractions torn down.

If people did not want to go, why would they close some Parks to new people by Noon some days.

Of course, people don't remember how much lower wages and Salaries were back then.

I find it intriguing that when when people stop going to Disney, or the Sharon, or whatever they think they are somehow hurting the venue. When you step aside someone else will fill your place and the only person that no longer can enjoy what those venue's offer is you. I don't expect anyone to bash you for not attending whatever you don't want to attend, you have that personal right and obligation to follow your instincts....but it won't impact Disney at all. And I doubt it will impact anyone on here.

Never been there and never will be there. Paying lots of $$ to fight crowds and wait in lines is not my thing. Different strokes for different folks.
