90 minutes for a ride? (crazy) are all the rides there like that?

advres: so? A lift ticket around here goes for $77 a day and that is from 9-4PM. Season passes are around $2000 for 120 days.

You're still paying too much and you only have one ride. Not like ski lifts go upside down or anything.

The Disney empire is nothing more then a hideous caricature of the "good life," as envisioned by someone from Luxembourg, which overlays a monstrous, soulless machine, filled with the human gears of sorrow. Saving little elf people is more important to the Disney empire then protecting anyone, serving anyone or helping children to enjoy the thrills of childhood.

Their last few films have devolved into racist satires that extoll the virtues of patriarchy, heirarchy and aristocracy.


Reading this righteous rant, I pictured Jeffery from 12 Monkeys:

My bf works there and gets free tickets. We don't even use them, they go to waste.

Yes, I don't even go for free.

On the other hand, my business partner gave me a couple of tickets to Universal. I went and we had a great time, the food was great and not too overpriced, and the rides were great as always.

I also grew up there and now live in Maine and every vacation I have to explain to my family how WDW sucks and how much more there is to do in Florida than amusement parks. If you want some real fun, cruise over to the other coast and go swimming with the manatees at Homosassa Springs. $40, 72 degree water all year round, and no riff raff. And very little hoi-polloi

SBinRR: So, how much more will it cost me to rent a Rascal to ride around the park all day?

TownDrunk: Do all the fatties on "rascals" get a discount?


I love Disney World and go there all the time but this is the reason I will probably stop. If someone has a "real" infliction that prevents them from walking then by all means ride a rascal or wheelchair. However if you are a piece of shiat fatass then you shouldn't be there in the first place. Those things clutter the park and make it miserable. I even saw people that weren't fat riding them and wanted to smack them off their ride. They manage to drive around like they own the park and always seem to near miss people as well. fark people who ride those things and don't need to.

Drummer: It cost me $1000 for my family (wife and 2 kids) to stay 2 nights at the Disneyland Hotel, and 1 day at the Park in Anaheim.

I think if you spend two nights at their hotels, they should give you one day passes to the park for free.


You're an idiot. You can stay just outside the park at any number of nice motels for about $100/nt.

A high ticket price might not be such a bad thing. It would tend to keep the lower-end customers, the "riffraff", out of the park.

You don't want to pay it? Don't go.

Most of the posts I'm reading here are biatching about how much Disney sucks, so WTF to you even care?

Are you riffraff?

I have some friends who came into some money and are spending 2 weeks at Disney. They told me it cost over 10k the funny thing is they have a van over 10 years old that they fixed up for 2k rather than getting something better. Also, they have to be out of their house before December because it's been sold. I wonder about their IQ very seriously after this.

It's not my money but they should have bought a better van and used some of the money to move. If they whine about not having money around Christmas I will laugh at them. The female of the couple is always whining about wanting to buy a house of their own but since they've wasted all this money I doubt they will.

Sorry bud but I call BS...unless you somehow managed to turn invisible on the ride the cameras are all over that place. Unless you are suggesting you got one then got caught by the Disney police you are lying.

Flowergirrrl: I was there in June. I'm thinking, "wasn't it already that high?"

Nothing beats getting stuck on Tower of Terror for ten minutes and then them telling you they are still going to drop you...


We we're there in June too. At Animal Kingdom, we had fastpasses for Dinosaur, went right in up to about 10 ft before you load. Stood there for 10 minutes when they announced a tech difficulty and asked all to exit. Said we could come back any time the rest of the day with our FP if they got it running, which our schedule didn't allow. Not as pissed as some in the standby line, said they had been waiting at least an hour.

FASTPASS is the way to go.

jmayson: Confabulat: I've had a buddy that works for Disney since high school and haven't had to pay to get in since then.

I can't imagine paying that sort of money to get in.

It's not that big a deal.

Back in the early 80's, maybe longer, they offer Florida resident discounts in January. My whole family of five could get in for around $100, IIRC. The park isn't really any better today than it was then. I can't fathom paying $71 per person.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio isn't exactly cheap. Yet when I go there, the place is filled to the gills with white trash and trash of other colors. They arrive with their seven kids who just roam the park. No idea how they afford it. Maybe they skip a trailer payment or have finally paid off their used Kia.


Sounds like the Six Flags in Illinois. I laugh at the new commercials they run when a woman's voice talks about how friendly everyone is and how clean it is. Well, they never went to the Gurnee park. After going to Disney, it spoils a trip to 6 flags in gurnee. Not is it just the kids roaming, but the fact that they don't seem to care that kids are leaving the water park and coming over to the park in swim suits and no shirts (the guys).

Another Government Employee: I haven't been in 20 years. My kids have never been. And at the rate it is going, they never will.

What else can you say about a company where their information line is a toll call? I understand they are also looking at making their website a paid service as well.


If you search the net for some disney travel boards, you can find some toll free numbers for some of Disney's services, for some reason they don't like to make the numbers public, maybe it's to keep the riff raff off the lines ;-)

Was there in June. Have to agree on the motorized scooter thing. I was hit twice in the ankles by idiots who couldn't drive them. Almost hit a few other times. My 7 yr old daughter was almost hit twice. But what seriously pissed me off was that of all the times we were hit or almost hit, only once when my daughter was almost hit, did the person stop and apologize and ask if she was ok, thank you to her. Most people seemed to give you a dirty look or not even make eye contact with you, then zip away. I guess being 6'2 300lbs and actually being able to walk around the park all day made them think if they stuck around too long, they might need more than a rascal to get back to their hotel.

$10K for two weeks at Disney? I don't doubt the price, but they will be regretting it by the 5th or 6th day when they run out of things to do if they plan to just stay at Disney.

Disney stopped their toll free numbers because it was costing them a fortune because kids would call looking for Mickey Mouse, not so much about the riff raff.

If ones only goal in getting a rascal is to avoid the lines and getting the best seats, then I agree that you shouldn't get one. I don't agree that if people don't look handicapped, then they aren't (whether they are thin or fat). I have neuropathy, which is a degenerative muscular disorder. It's painful to walk long distances and has moments of weakness. But I love to go with family and friends and because of that I get a rascal. And I get the scorn of some people who are pissed off because I must be cheating because I'm not missing a leg or something. Honestly, I hate being the center of attention on a bus with the thing, or holding up a show or whatever. It's not fun. One guy made a similar comment to me as up above (about not having a real infliction) and I told him, "You want to trade places? I'd be glad not to have this and walk the whole day, because the rascal a lot of times is more problems then it's worth." If you have to have one, you are better off renting off property than on, as they are cheaper and can be used throughout the resort, not just at the parks.

Sorry to hear that, because I agree that people with a motor scooter should be careful as they would be with a car. It does take some practice. And should definitely apologize for any incident. Just common courtesy.

Lets talk frankly about internal cleanliness

Went once when I was 8, not impressed at all. Wasted vacation as far as I was concerned.

You remind me of the annoying "That's not very scary. More like a six-foot Turkey" kid from JURASSIC PARK...
