Goodness! I can't believe that you would give such an evil company any of your money! Some of us just expressed our personal opinion. I thought that is what the DIS is about - an exchange of ideas

OK to all of you self righteous, morally superior (than me obviously since I had to even post the original question) over zealous flamers: I have decided, what I am going to do, so thank you very much for your input.
AND just so you ALL know Disney has spent Millions of Dollars on thier latest marketing "little white lie" of "FREE ON YOUR BIRTHDAY" Disney was ALWAYS free on your birthday.It was one of the ideals that Walt himself, insisted upon, so all of you who have bitten into that little lie can eat it up with a spoon. AND further more; Disney tickets used to NEVER EXPIRE automatically, this wasn't an "add on feature" they dreamed and charged buku bucks for as a way of making extra money... I bought tickets when my oldest daughter was 2 (12 years ago) and didn't use the last day due to illness, and when I asked for a refund they told me, tickets never expire... SOOO that marketing genious was introduced sometime in the last 12 years. and I am not 100% certain on this one : but Disney also changed the age from "3 and under" to "under 3", because I was allowed in free on my first trip when I was 3 in 1976. Unless my parents lied, in which case would explain what is wrong with me now, oh the horror of trying to save money from a company that is really fleecing its loyal followers all with a smile ....
but thanks to the few non judgemental, kind people out there!!!
PS I am not disclosing which way I decided, let ya all wonder a little more
I think she is busy changing her reservation to 1 adult and all children.
Hmmm.......I wonder if I make my DH wear a diaper will they make me prove he is over 3?
OH, AND BY-THE-WAY: it's not as if Disney isn't going to get my money either way I decide, either on a full(OVERLY PRICED)admission price and meal plan and less souveniers, pictures extras etc. or lot's and lots of those ( GROSSLY OVER PRICED) items to make my children smile and have memories to bring home... either way the budget is the budget... and I have to stick to it...

Your complaining that park passes used to cost a lot less is ridiculous. Everything used to cost less than it does now! That does not give anyone the right to run around STEALING!!!!
Tickets cost more now in part because of people stealing admissions. Do you think the OP really doesn't see the connection? Disney has to make up the revenue from the deadbeats somehow.

I agree 100% if you feel so poorly about the company why are you supporting them in any way? You do know there is Universal if you are looking for a theme park!
What is sad is that being honest and not a thief is called being on a high horse or acting morally superior, how people have changed..........

The line Disney has drawn in the sand is black and white. Children that are age 3 and over must have a paid for park admission. There is no clause for kids that are 3 years and 6 months old. Or even for kids 3 years and 1 day old. Three years and older need a ticket. So yes, if you are not buying a ticket for your 3 and 2 months old child you are indeed stealing.
And I have never stolen from my township, cause in 26 years of driving I have never gotten a speeding ticket (knock on wood)!
This thread inspired a discussion of ages at our house tonight. DGD explained it to me like this: Grandpa is 38. Grandma is 29. And they have been married for forty years.
