- Competition and the current U.S. economic situation are forcing Disney Parks to expand and raise prices. In 2018 Disney World raised its prices twice and switched to a dynamic pricing model. The new model prices out its early adopters in the middle class from peak park months.

Why Disney World Is So Expensive - Zábava
Paying $3,400 for staying in fake Bora Bora when you can use that money to go to the real one. Don’t see the logic behind that.
Alex Dyk while I see your point and it’s a good one… At the same time you don’t have all of the other amenities ie; theme parks and other things that’s offered on the grounds at your fingertips along with the Bora-Bora scenery.
@@sufall96 yeah I was in Paris last year, some of my friends wanted to go to Disneyland there. My answer was" it's Not the real one" Ha
@@marcoshazael3099 If you're in Paris, Paris! For god's sake, and your friends want to go to Eurodisney... I think you need new friends.
We’re talking about Muricans here. You honestly believe they’re smart enough to think that far ahead?
@@inchikkkk it's far more than just Americans. Lots of international visitors at the Disney parks and especially the resorts. From visiting the parks I've met people from all over the world. Disney attracts everyone not just Americans
$894 is literally a plane ticket to so many other better places in the world.
Chanel H unless you live near an attraction, then all other expenses are paid for.
Chanel H isnt that for a yearly pass? Daily pass is like 80 bucks
Chanel H oh shit never mind just checked a day pass to all the parks is 414 dollars :/
Chanel H neeever mind just checked again and for all the parks for a day its about 180 dollars which really isnt that bad
Alpacalypse people have families so it adds up
And yet employees have minimum wage and there’s still no Lion King attractions.
Thanks Disney
Big corporations know what type of people will work for a low wage. These people are aware during the interview how much they will make. This is how some companies are operating. They want to make money. People that never had anything will work for a low wage. Others will protest, strike complain etc. They don't ask the questions at an interview. Just sit there and say okay, okay. Amazon puts a cap on salaries. You can't work no more than 60 hrs per week. Guess who has all the money? Jeff. $34,500.00 per yr is not a lot of money. If your poor or came from poverty this Amazon yrly salary is perfect for some.
That's their fault so who cares
@@MOE13576 people need to be paid a living wage
@@MOE13576 Obviously you care since you responded with your dense comment loll?? I don't get how it's the employees fault for being underpaid. Everybody deserves to get paid fairly. You''re probably the same type of person who thinks its homeless people's fault for being homeless yet pay a butt load of money to big corps over something you could get from the dollar store lmao.
Lion King is racist
I've been going every year since I was little, and Disney used to be affordable in the 90s. Walt Disney would be sad that all families can't experience the magic because it's crazy expensive now.
ive wished to go every year of my life, even now ay 29 yrs i wish. :( i just pray one day i can take my babies
its not. park tickets are relatively the same or even cheaper than when Walt was alive. yes other things are expensive like food drinks and hotels but the parks are way bigger now than when walk was alive they need to be sustained with other money. in 1966 disneyland ticket was around 10 bucks, which would be 86 in today's money with inflation, right now tickets to disneyland start at 75 for out of state people I think and in state it's less than that.
if you go every year you understand what you get for the money and I think it's worth it. yeah its not for everyone, It's sad but it's true. most people can't afford vacations to places like this. it's just the way the world is, the prices are determined by what people would be willing to pay for them. supply and demand.
He most definitely would not be sad
Walt was a racist pig,I'm sure he will be happy
“we use to be able to go every year. now we go every 5 years”.
I've never even been once
At this rate I don't think I can go at all...I'm poor
I RARELY GO THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THIS
I live about an hour away from one of the Disney parks and I’ve only been twice last time I went I was 8. I usually end up going to universal or Busch gardens since they’re cheaper and less crowded which means I get to ride more rides and I don’t spend most of my dad waiting in lines
My family goes almost every day and we only live an hour away
and yet they still pay employees minimum wage
Money went to maintain the rides and costumes.
Do you have any statistical evidence to back up that claim?
That's not true.. A friend of mine works there and she's pretty happy with her job conditions and payments..
@@micilla91 That doesn't mean they don't get paid minimum wage...or very close to it
Minimum wage at Disney world will be $15 an hour by 2021. money.cnn.com/2018/08/25/news/companies/walt-disney-world-minimum-wage/index.html
The saddest part of Disney Parks is that Employees (especially the Princesses) don't even get a living wage
So like every massive business ever
How much do the princesses get a hour??
Others: Can you put a price on happiness?
Disney: "We Can!!!"
Because even at this price, it’s STILL so damned crowded!
I think this is why they went ahead and raised prices. Rather than build in more capacity with new lands they raised prices to keep people out. They just need to understand that when they disrespect and shake off millions of fans they will stay away for life.
Why don't they figure something else out, all they care about is money.
I just wish they would build a 5th full scale park!
Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom
Epcot
Hollywood Studios
A 5th park would at least alleviate these huge crowds, if only a little bit.
Anything would help.
@@Afurthyclays Now they are using ticket prices as a kind of pesticide to keep crowds down. They are going to go too far and never be able to come back if they are not careful. Fans will become lifelong enemies.
Orlando Tourist Traps
That’s exactly what I’m afraid of.
The Disney Co doesn’t seem too concerned about this delicate balance.
Sad, to think that a 2 week vacation to Hawaii is dirt cheap, compared to just 5 days in Disney World.
So basically Disney is the Apple of theme parks , we get it
Wtf? Everyone has an Apple item

Mysteries Of Stupid Life i guess you recall incorrectly
@@rodolfopierre2129 oops my bad its 75 percent
I have been in Disneyland and I don't think it's not that expensive? for me.
After the virus, the majority of families won’t be thinking about going to Disney.
I hope😂
Yea, I've been to Universal twice in the last month now since quarantine started to cool down here in FL, once for a single day and the second time for a 4 day stay at the Aventura. It's kinda crazy how stupid Disney is acting right now with how they're running their parks in comparison to Universal. I'm going to Epcot next Saturday so maybe it'll be fine bit idk. So far I'm really impressed with Universal so Disney is fighting an uphill battle.
Vinson Huynh I saw a video and these two lil kids were the only ones on Main Street. I’m thinking wearing a mask for that can’t be so bad.
I was TWO days away from going to Disney and then it announced it would close on the 13th, I was going on the 15th, I’m still salty about it.
$894 is literally a plane ticket to so many other better places in the world.
My parents used to take me once a year to Disney World until right before the recession. My parents admitted it was a nice luxury, but based on how expensive it is today - they definitely wouldnt have been able to afford similar pricing, which is sad to think so many people lose the opportunity. It is a fun place for kids!
Damm imagine how Walt Disney would react if he saw how expensive the tickets are
Damn imagine if tickets were $5 to get in oh wait they are
Its not even expensive you guys are broke as shit
Well they consult with his AI.... soooooo

Even after that they don't pay their employees decent wages.
Of course they don't, they're following what every Corp in America does. F*** the workers
They have excellent pay and benefits.
@@JunyMendez Source? You probably don‘t even work there
@@mstrmren I worked there for years.
@@JunyMendez Okay, and why are there thousands of CMs all over the world complaining about how Disney just sees them as a number, and how do you want to explain me that hundreds of CMs went on the street to demonstrate for better pay?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they started charging for the meet and greets in the future
They're already charging a whopping $45 a DAY to park your damn car. It's hardly any more expensive to FLY from Atlanta, GA! That's why I'll never go to Disney again. And no, I don't miss it. My last trip was not as fun as I expected.
@@largol33t1 i went to disney world last july god it was so bad
disneyland is good if i go anywhere it will be there again
Because enough people still willing to pay for it
Cause everytime someone tries to beat them they lose! a monopoly is a legal term and it's illegal to be the only one in a field.
Basically
That was universal stupid
That doesn't explain what led up to it being so expensive
Like me 🤷♂️
For around $1000 I was able to spend one month in the Philippines. That includes hotel and food and all the attractions we saw. And these were big attractions like seeing whale sharks and stuff. Id rather spend 1k for a month in a tropical country than a couple days at Disney
Damn, what agency or where did u see this package?
@@ironpulcinella3586 you don't need any agency, Traveling on Malay countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia(except Singapore) is cheap asf as long as you don't get in the tourist traps like a taxi ride for 10USD and etc,

I’ve never even been there, my parents would ask me when I was little and I would always say that it was stupid and I never wanted to go there, but the real reason was because I didn’t want my parents to spend that much money. Still don’t want to go.
You are one nice, kind, selfless soul😭
I was the same as you. I always thought it was for little kids.. then one day a friend invited me to go to Disneyland for free! He knew a "cast member" there. It was SOOOOOOO much fun! You have to go at least once! Seriously..
@@famousbowl9926 kids like you who called things stupid or said that something was just for little kids made my childhood miserable
Disney is like Downloading an app that’s already like $10 and the you see “offers in app purchases”.
If prices were cheaper, the crowds would be insane... sadly
@@h.l.211 Did you even LISTEN to the video AT ALL?! It just stated that star wars theme attraction cost 1,4 BILLION dollars with a "B". How are they going to pay for it if they have a problem with customer demand peaks one month per yeat and sell tickets to under value AND limit the tickets sold at the same time?!
They still take more people than what is reasonable for M O N E Y.
@@scarlettlasweet IF you think they take in more people than what is reasonable, surely you understand basic demand and supply economics then that prices must go up to solve it?
@@oscar6832 the amount of money that gets paid just to wait in line for hours for 2-5 minute rides all day is what I mean.
@@h.l.211 If they did that, they would charge an arm and a leg per ticket.
He is saying like disney is loosing money every year.They have the highest box movies ever created.Disney is just being greedy
Theme park money and movie money are two different income sources for them; they don't cross over.
@@keelahrose true but all goes into the same pot
They aren't losing money. They just aren't making as much as they wanted is all. So their business practice is always to make more money even at the cost of their current fan base or their reputation.
Losing*. Not loosing.
sasukeuchiha998 I don’t think that fan base cut. Theme park still closes its gates from time to time
Unpopular opinion: Disney is overrated to people who just wants to go on rides. I don’t really go for shows
Well, I go for both and it still doesn't feel like its worth the insane $110 single day ticket. In the early 1990s, it was only $121 for THREE DAYS!!! Their greed is too much to make the ticket worth the price.
Me a theater kid who knows if I wanted to watch the shows in a broadway form it would cost more then Disney: yeah I totally agree 😢
I never got the appeal of these shows. They always seemed like glorified children's performances to me. And I'm almost jealous, because it looks like many people genuinely enjoy them.
As a person who doesn't like rides I actually like the theming more
When my parents told me how much it cost to take my nephew to Disney for 3 days, I nearly had a heart attack. It just isn't worth it. And I grew up going to Disney a lot when I was a kid despite living in Canada. It was actually half way affordable even for us.
Rather go on a nice vacation. Europe, Tokyo, or Seoul.
Plane ticket could cost about the price of this Disney ticket. Not really worth it.
Bunta Fujiwara you discover a new country, a new culture and you stay for longer than just a day lol
Bunta Fujiwara lmao people also have to buy plane tickets to go to disney. At least if you go to another country you don’t get bent over and fucked for every little thing.

@@kiimiichan Wait, isn't that what Epcot is for? 😂😂
And their employees are living out of their cars.
manuel portillo - just the ones who budgeted badly.
@Fox Lover Fox Lover you're right! Where at: Universal, SeaWorld, a hotel nearby?
They all pay the same. Don't say go to school and get a degree either, because I work at the parks and even I have my schooling payed for by them. But since every major company here is in hospitality and tourism, even if you had a good degree, you'd have to uproot your life and move somewhere else to get a decent salary in some field.
So yeah, get out of here with that ignorant, simple-minded conservative viewpoint shit. It's so much easier to just say get a better job. I swear people who say this shit are entitled people who - even if they did work hard to get where they are - had one hell of a good starting point to get to success and believe they're only successful because they're just "determined and hard-working" while others are "lazy and entitled." They don't realize that they had it easier than most others. The few successful ones who didn't have those advantages definitely don't have that entitled, arrogant viewpoint. So don't come at folks with that shit.
Just get another job 4Head
@@KC-MitchI heard you can make decent money selling drugs and you can also do drugs so you're happy all the time and so you don't need disney to make you happy
I think they should consider more benefits or perks that can be dialed up and down based on park performance. Just raising all hourly pay rates they could back themselves into an unsustainable corner, especially if unions smell blood in the water. I think things like park tickets for family and friends and meal coupons could be a useful and manageable way to compensate low wage workers.
Thank God that my Parents were able to take me and my siblings to Disney World when we were kids. These prices are insane!
$8.00 for kids, $30 for adults. That's literally what the cost would be in 2021 if you look at the price in 1970 adjusted for inflation.
Let me save everyone some time:
Supply and demand.
@Sir We Are About to Die You go bankrupt if you do that LOL, you can go to their water parks because they are not in high demand and cheaper than the parks and less crowded.
@Sir We Are About to Die It won't work with those parks because those parks are luxury products that are in high demand.
Or capitalism
Jev2DaMaximum thx 🙏
Not really. It's moreso marketing and brand recognition
Disney will charge whatever people are willing to pay. That's how the world works
I go to Disney World about 5 times a week and the prices change every day on the ticket price boards at the park. Weekends are more expensive than week days typically. Sometimes it is $117 but on weekends I have noticed the price goes up to $135 and that is for one park. The park hopper option is $60 or more. Geeze.
To do what you want at Disney World you should expect to pay about $200 per day just to get in, bring $100 or more for food and snacks, and another $100 to buy a few souvenirs. And then there is Star Wars Land. $200 for a light saber (Who cares) and $100 for a droid (Cheap, small and who cares) and $30 for two drinks at Olgas Cantina (Now we are talking) Blue/Green Soy Milk stand (Skip it or try it once). I love Disney parks and want them to succeed and make tons of money but I think they could back off on how many tons of money they seperate from their guests. I think they have already crossed the tipping point and have angered a huge segment of fans.
@@orlandotouristtraps7410 5 times a week? Wouldn't that get boring? And you must be rich and plenty of time on your hands..
@@icantthinkofaname15 Imagine someone living in New York or Las Vegas. Walking around time square or visiting the Vegas Strip several times a week. Sometimes I go to the parks in the evening and walk for about 3 hours, watch the fireworks and come home. When you live 10 minutes away it is like going to the mall.
@@orlandotouristtraps7410 don't you have to pay every time though?
@@icantthinkofaname15 It is about $80 per month for the premium level and you get free parking ($25) and you can go unlimited times and visit all the hotels and resorts as well. You get 20% off food and merch as well. Some people go out every friday night and spend $50 on drinks and cover charge at night clubs or the likes. Or take their best girl out for dinner and a movie and spend an easy $100.
So to put it into perspective. You get the massive whole Disney world 4 parks, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. Disney springs and all the resorts with restaurants etc. It is a good deal actually.
You can get by paying $15 per month for evenings only at Epcot I believe. BTW I was at the Animal kingdom park tonight from about 5pm - 9pm. Wandering around Pandora, Africa, Asia and Dino Land. etc. My feet are tired.
Last night I parked at the HOllywood studios, took the gondola skyliners to Epcot, watch Shena Easton in concert, walked the circle around the world showcase, and then ended up walking to the Boardwalk resort because the skyliner was not letting people on for some reason. I watched a live concert and the Halloween festivities, then hopped on the friendship boat to Hollywood studios, hung out in Galaxy's edge and rode the Smugglers Run ride. There were two little children as the pilots which was really funny. Imagine two 5 year olds flying the Millennium Falcon. They crashed and smashed us into walls and other spaceships. It was the roughest ride I have ever experienced on smuggler's run.
In India with ₹75000 thats almost the same as USD 900, you may spend a month at a decent hotel in the Himalayas. It's beautiful.
Yeah bro
That is crazy expensive
If anyone wants to to go abroad they can go on freaking tour in Hawaii or somewhere

Thankfully all that extra money is going to the employees, I mean the CEO and the board.
It also goes to the shareholders, so why are you complaining. As long as there’s a demand you control the supply.

they don't even have the teacups in disneyworld they have so little rides there disneyland has about twice the rides comparing magic kingdoms
Honestly, I dont see any reason to visit the park with this price. There is waaaay more fun stuff to do with that money.
The sad thing is, they pay their workers like shit. Some of them can't even pay rent, and have to live inside a car.
Disney world is raising it's minimum wage to $15/hr next year. And in terms of the living in their car, I believe you're referring to Disney Land. That is absolutely not Disney's fault, it's California's. No one is forcing those people to live in southern California, one of the most expensive places to live. Disney actually pays pretty well for the job they're doing, but California cost of living is outrageous. If they adjusted the pay to cost of living, it would probably cost them billions. And besides, why does the girl working the checkout at the quickservice restaurant in fantasy land deserve to make more than the girl doing the exact same job down the street at McDonald's? Or more than me? Im a server at a busy restaurant on the last Vegas strip, but I only make $10/hr, why does a Disney employee deserve $20 for the same job? People think they are entitled.

Disney had always been greedy, they just hid it better.
@@sebastianrook5478 you got that right. Grandparents, parents set us down with Disney shows, took us to see the movies, bought the products, took us to Parks and we got pixie dust in our eyes too ti pass it on to our kids. They meant well and thought it was good and wholesome. At least I hope so.
Club Penguin Island didn't even last for 2 years. What a joke.
That's capitalism for you
Was to be expected after they killed ToonTown. Oh and, they also killed off other games too.
When will they raise the wages they pay employees?

Yep. We're a family of 6 when my kids were growing up in the late 90s, early 00s and we had passes for all 6 of us when we lived in SoCal. For a SINGLE Platinum pass,we had passes for all of us including two unlimited passes for the wife and I and we'd renew one kid's pass on a blackout date which meant only paying the difference for 3 kids as well as being able to go whenever we wanted which was about once a month. We got into pin trading and generally had a GREAT time. I've lived in Central FL for 12 years now and I've yet to go to DisneyWorld. Too expensive. It's a shame because Walt Disney was alive when I was a kid. I remember how important it was to him for FAMILIES to be able to partake. Oh well. At least we have the memories, I guess...
His face right at the end second says it all: Are you middle class or lower??? Tough luck.
It's easy blame inflation ,however there's another element you overlook Greed.
Everyone's greedy. It's human nature.
And your not greedy.
Especially when profits go up 100%.
Disney demands only the top 1% oligarchs. Quit buying their products in stores
Inflation numbers are highly deflated. Anyone who shops for their family knows that.
Disney park is just an EA version of a theme park
da beet rayed so churros are the equivalent of DLC? Lol
Not accurate because Disney still provides a functional product albeit ovepriced, while EA provides broken non functional products like Anthem at full price.
If you go during off seasons and stay in the all star resorts, then the price is just that of a reasonable vacation. Additionally, now if you stay in one of their resorts you get unlimited fast passes, even though it only says 3. Vacation somewhere cheaper for summer and winter...
Wait
You’re telling me it was just above 40 dollars in 2000???
2000 was twenty years ago. Seems okayish amount for that long ago.
Doesn’t even look fun. Way too many people, and very expensive.
Right? But people seem to enjoy expensive everything while been super crowded.
Crazy when we used to think crowded was annoying instead of deadly, also hi there comment from 8 months ago, hows ur day
I actually went to Disney in 2017 as my high school graduation gift and it wasn’t as fun as I remembered it. I went in 2007 with my family and we had a blast, but 10 years later it’s like the magic is gone. Maybe it’s because I’ve grown up or Disney isn’t putting in as much effort to make it fun as they did ten years prior
I don't agree I have to day its one of the best amusement parks I've been to
Last time I was there it was actually really fun. It makes you feel like a kid again. The price is worth it especially if you have kids.
I've lived in Orlando all my life and even I cant afford to go anymore! The ridiculous crowds and all these massive price hikes have killed off whatever 'magic' Disney used to have.. As a child of the 80's I can tell you nothing today even compares to the original Epcot Center! Today's Disney is simply a greedy shadow of its former self..
You probably can afford to go, but you are smarter than that, a trip to Hawaii, Puerto Rico or Punta Cana will be cheaper than 3 days in Disney at least for me is, and I live in Anaheim where one of the parks is, I have never visited it
Disney used to reward kids in CA with a free ticket if you earn it in school (I.e., good grades, etc). Not sure if that program still exists. They invest in the communities.
I went about 10 years ago to Disney World and a bottle of water cost $3. I can buy a 24 pack of spring water at Aldi for under $3. And Disney probably sells filtered tap water, and I can't imagine what it costs now. I started drinking their fountain tap water and ended up getting so sick I threw up on an Epcot spaceship ride.
I can barely afford McDonald's

625 an hour for a private tour and they pay that man no more than 25 bucks an hour haha
I was a private tour-guide at Disneyland, CA (I actually knew that tour-guide shown in the video) and NOBODY gets paid $25 an hour, private tour-guides start at minimum wage, and their wages increase by 3% every year. If they come from other departments and happen to make a little more than minimum wage (I'm talking, a dollar more) then you get to keep that wage. But tour-guides do not earn more than $15 an hour, unless they've been doing it for more than 15 years. And I always thought it was unfair that Disney saw my knowledge and experience worth charging over $600 per hour (minimum of 6 hours), but yet I didn't get to see anything close to that amount of money.

I went to Disney World as a kid and we didn't even stay for a whole day. It was too hot and us kids were more into waterparks than rollercoasters, so we ended up giving the tickets to someone else. I hope they enjoyed it more than we did.
If people quit being sheeps and willing to pay these ridiculous prices for everything, they'll quit getting screwed over by these big companies.
I mean, people say they would never go but if offered a free/pre-paid trip not a lot of people would refuse. Surprisingly it's a lot of lower class people going to these parks also, so it's def not the 1% keeping Disney's pockets full, that's never a good business strat.
I've personally met people who take an additional job and work so much they ignore family, just to go on a Disney cruise every year. I've personally known people who are working at minimum wage and spend all their income on luxury designer clothes.
The phone your holding right now. Tell me your not a sheep.
Wii Remote BROKEN You're an idiot. Having a phone is something everyone has or should have, it's a necessity and not a 'sheep product'. Being a sheep is buying the most expensive phone even if it may not be the best on the market. Wii-U please stop?

Why is Apple charging $1000+ for a new iPhone? Same thing, because people pay for them.
If you don't want to pay to go to Disney, don't go. No one is forcing you
eiji81 whilst true, I don’t know anyone with the latest iPhone.
Yes, and I will not buy an iphone for $1,000.00 either.
Apple is not forcing you to buy $1000 dollar iPhone that depends on you if you want to buy it or not.

Disneyland is probably the most overrated park.

I agree. Looks wayyy too overcrowded for me. No way I'm waiting 3-4 hours just for a ride.

I’m happy to say that I have had the opportunity to go to Disney land when I was like 10 and it was a blast. Kinda makes me happy that we went there then rather than now as it’s so expensive now and I’m kinda too old to enjoy things like that again. Fun as hell though
Disneyland has become so overcrowed.. whats the point of even going😑
You gotta go during the slow months and it’s not so bad
They need to confiscate another couple hundred acres of land and build a giant new land to handle the capacity.
AbeAsmr but when you go during the slow months aren’t half the rides closed due to maintenance?
Skips weekends and do weekdays, avoid Holidays as it will be more expensive but offers more. Go anywhere from Tuesday - Thursday and not overcrowded.
Not going somewhere where someone pays $625/hr to skip ahead of you in line
I’m 19 and I still haven’t gone to any of their parks lmao
Same. But I'm 27😂😂
same. but i’m 29 and only paying for the cheapest out of state ticket
Punk Trash trust me your not missing alot
Skateboard Z loser
Thats just sad AF. No lmao...
I still wanna visit Disneyland in California, though but only when it's September where the crowds aren't as thick as in the summer I believe.
I really only want to go for Halloween or Christmas but now with the pandemic and how it's become horrendously expensive I'd rather go to the wizarding world of Harry Potter now.
If it’s just 2 bring at least 5k. Funny how that money still isn’t enough to pay their employees properly whom are now forced to live in cars.
I sleep on days off, It’s free and relaxing. 😎
If you would hustle on those you could afford to go anywhere you want
Tudor even if I could afford it, I wouldn’t spend it on things like parks.
I'll take you bae :D
Cristhian Perez where would you spend it ?
Annie Shah I’d try to save money as much as I can. If I was in a the mood, I would travel to other countries, better bang fo my buck.
The tilt shift video makes the story even better - reporting wise that is. Really cool. The pricing story, basic economics, keep charging until the consumer says no thanks. The real profit comes from sales inside the park, don't buy the made in china souvenirs, the clothing or most important the food and drink - that will get their attention.
so glad we went in 2013 when my parents could afford it! Think if we had left it any later would’ve never been able to go. Still preferred universal tho.
you wanna sprite cranberry?
I keep seeing comments about cranberry Sprit, what's up? I'm I missing something???
@@deshawn2326 it's a meme of a commercial.
It's because my dumb friends recently found interest and humor in the sprite Drake commercials from a few years ago and jumped at the chance to stare making fun of sprite cranberry commercials when people with in the community started associating it with the meme.
The answer is clear.
tommy wants one kiddos
Lines were insane. 2 hour wait for a 2 min ride. 2 and a half hours to take a pic with Mickey.
And with fastpass the lines are sometimes longer than standby
It's really not worth going anymore, heck you use that same money and go visit another country.

Employees should be getting paid at least $10 above minimum wages. Like $20 an hour
In 2001, Disney literally had to give people free stuff to attract people to parks. My dad and my sister got their picture engraved on a pillar that surrounds Epcot for free (it was extremely expensive to do)
Why are they charging so much?
Simple, because they can
Capitalist society, supply and demand, that's all there is to it
Disney executives be like:
If I charge up the price, ain't nothing to it, Mickey Mouse made do it...
indeed, a simple case of supply and demand. As long as guests keep paying for what Disney is offering, their prices will continue to increase.
I will watch Disney world from my 55 inch tv when its availiable.
@@thotslayer9914 it takes money to maintain.. but they still make a big profit. Really no excuse to have the ridiculous prices other than capitalism.. not like they have the best pay for their workers either
No shit Sherlock. What obvious thing are you going to state next? Maybe that water is wet.
Dear American Families, pack your bags and come over to Europe. We have amazing themeparks at way better value than Disney or Universal. If you have little kids or toddlers the Efteling is the most magical place you can imagine (with rides that could rival Disney’s). If you have kids or teenagers you should visit Phantasialand (they have themed thrillrides Disney could only dream of and Universal could only copy). Lastly we have Europa Park, one of the biggest themeparks in Europe with triple the amount of attractions (all within beautiful themed areas resembling all the nations in Europe) and operations that Disney could only dream of.
We also have a Disneyland in Paris. It’s expensive, poorly maintained and the staff makes the experience anything but magical.
So treat your kids to a trip further away and explore what’s out there. In Europe we value middle class families and you’re all treated equal. Hope to see you guys on the other side of the Atlantic!
@Jyoeru Zaberu Efteling is around $50 admission. Europapark and Phantasialand are $60. Flights are dirtcheap these days with rates of $350. Staying in onsite hotels isn't very expensive aswel and public transport is very good in Europe. Trust me you'll save at least a $1000 on your Disney Holiday.
@@160589005 you also have to GET to Europe, and find accommodations in Europe, and get around Europe, and that's where the expense comes in.
CoryTheRaven Look at the comment above.
Waarom? We also need passports, and depending on how many people you have in your family $350 could be expensive but I do understand that you are going to Europe which I hear is beautiful
@@160589005 I've been to Europe. The total cost of our trip to France from Canada rivalled the total cost of our trip to Walt Disney World.
This is an interesting video to watch in July of 2020 during the pandemic when Disney has been closed for months and actually struggling.
Simple economics. If supply stays the same but demand increases, the price also increases.
It’s a real shame to see Walt’s vision taking this sort of turn. He was a businessman, sure, but he also designed parks like Epcot (originally intended as an actual city design) to be a place that encapsulated mans ability to create and to inspire ingenuity for the future. I t was meant to represent man at his best and was meant for everyone. I really do love Disney and their magic, but in recent years it’s been hard to associate the Disney of now with the Disney if my childhood.
The corporate machine sucks up other companies left and right and beats other parks into submission by making their own bigger and better and using the material of these other companies to their advantage.
I went to Disney several years ago, before talks about Pandora were even a thing and the Diagon Alley area in US was still rumor. A middle class family could stay for a week in a cheaper hotel resort like pirates bay (idk what it was actually called) and maybe have a fancy dinner or two at one of the really nice hotels (we went to the Polynesian for dinner one night). That same trip now would be almost triple the price my family paid just a few years ago.
I can’t think of a deeper betrayal to Walt’s vision than the way Disney treats its customers now. Sure, there’s always a place for VIP treatment for those who are willing to pay for it, but I think Disney is making a bad move here by moving away from the people that made them into what they are in the first place. If these prices had been around when my family went, we wouldn’t have gone, plain and simple.
Disney is a magic place where dreams come true, but if you can’t pay for those dreams then you never get to experience that.
Rebeccah if he became alive again he would be furious at the new ceos of Disney. How they are reaking in millions while sitting in their chairs all comfy.
Walt was insanely irresponsible with money and nearly ran the company into the ground. He could have a nice vision all he wanted, but reality is much different.
Also, we(middle class family) stayed at the Poly 9 years ago and 4 years ago and current prices are not "triple" what we paid then. So I have no idea what you mean by "just a few years ago." When we went in October, there were people there from ALL walks of life.
To be completely honest, I didn’t bother to read this. This is an essay.

Hello There, an interesting synopsis/analysis on the financial and business marketing strategies that have been implemented throughout. Cheers Peter
It makes sense although there is a price to expansion. Disneyland has grown to a greater scale than it was before making the experience truly unforgettable. If we wish to see the true potential of a grand world theme park it takes fortune to continue progress. I have never been to Disney World, but my mother has who always mentioned it since her mother brought her several times. The reason we never went was my parents simply couldn't afford it. Hoping to go with a friend to get the experience I never had, but with the expenditures I only hope the food and experience is great as it is supposed to be otherwise it is a waste all in itself.
Guess I have to sell my kidneys.

Well the first time we went with my parents and two sisters was 1973. I was 13. Driving down was part of the vacation spending a week at the Ft. Lauderdale Inn and a week at a Walt Disney resort hotel when it was $90 a night. We went several years in a row from flying to sleepers on Amtrak. I'm 59 now. I'm a stockholder as well.
I live two hours West of Disney on the coast. Literally backyard is complete open ocean. We only pay $35 each a month to go to any of the 4 parks. That grants us free parking every time we go so that’s $20 instantly saved and the discounts on food and merchandise. Disney hasn’t tried to squeeze out its Annual Pass Holders. Now I do feel sorry for families and people outside of my state. Rentals are going up and up. People are taking advantage of that close proximity to the theme parks. I live on the freaking water and my mortgage is less then half of what rentals go for. We’ve stayed at Disney resorts and that’s where my suggestion is strongly advised for traveling families. The benefits to being at a Resort on property far outweigh its cost. Look into the Disney meal plans and check out Disney Food Blog (DFB). I hope this info helps someone.
As an American in France...the "Yellow Vests" would protest to bring the price of a day a Disney down. As a result a day at Disney is 50 to 70 dollars!
When the middle class stands up for itself, things happen. We go to Disneyland here in France each year. Sometimes twice a year. When I go back home to California each summer....I think we only go once in only a special time....at $150 per person for a day at Disneyland.... It is no longer just a fun day at an amusement park....
A family of four can maybe go on a week vacation to Mexico for the same price as a weekend at Disneyland.
Excuse me being dumb, but:
What te the "yellow vests"?
I haven't been to disney world in about 8 years. And surprised I'm still alive. Y'all complaining keep forgetting you don't have to go

It’s honestly the best experience I’ve ever had in my life and was worth every penny.
I used to hate on Disney as well until my girlfriend convinced me to go with her and it was amazing.
@Jayson Brady lol tbh if u go to disney with no experience and know nothing its not that fun it seems scary and so many people and the lines are forever. I have been going to disney my whole life and would say I know the best ways to spend your vacation while spending the bare minimum. You are gonna have to deal with waiting around but thats just the disney experience but if u can plan out your day and know when the crowds are and are willing to wake up early and stay up late you will have fun. Also you need park hopper thats the big thing that will make the trip fun without it you can get bored of the park especially if all the rides have 2 hour waits. If you ever go to disney go with someone who has experience
It’s not really a rip off it is a great experience. I think you should go at least once if your able to.
Your kids will have a horrible, depressing childhood
@@jsiszero woah! Thats a little too harsh, isnt it?
Back before the shut down me and my family went to the Old Spamish Sugar Mill down near Ponce DE Leon in florida. It was right next to a gorgeous freshwater spring with giant turtles to swim with. I had more fun there than standing in line for 2 hours in any Disney line. And it was only $15 to park.
This just feels so base. For the same amount of money, a family of four could rent an 800-year old castle and live in Burgundy for the entire summer experiencing the real thing.
Simple they know people would go no matter the price
