An interesting discussion of the pricing phenomenon at WDW.

It's expensive. I could go cheaper if I wanted to. The $100 price tag is misleading anyway. I suppose if you were just dropping in for a day, yeah, that seems pretty ridiculous. A five day ticket works out to $60 a day and that's a fair price, I think, for what you get. And you don't have to stay at the Poly Bungalows.
What you CAN pay is not the same as what you HAVE to pay. I could stay offsite and go way cheaper than I choose to, if I wanted to. Yes, Disney is expensive. I never went as a kid. But it wasn't the end of the world, either. I was 34 the first time I drove through those gates.
The one thing I found weird was the article saying disney used to be a place for all families and now it's a trying to be a premium location. Maybe its just me, but growing up disney was never for everyone. Most kids never go... I'm sure for a variety of reasons but one is definitely cause the parents didn't want to pay for it.
Me too. It's an expensive place already and will continue to be.The article makes a number of good points, but there's nothing in there that I see we haven't already discussed at some point here. So I voted "no."
I went once as a kid. We stayed at a budget hotel, and I can remember looking at the Contemporary like it was nirvana.I was thinking that too. When was it ever for everyone?
I never went as a kid. I guess we were poorer than I thought!
