Luxury destination, luxury price.
Ummmmm ??
Nope, don't think so. For all the same reasons someone else posted. Definitely not luxury.
At least with Disney tickets, you are getting more rides along with the price increase. Probably not worth it to most people, but it's better than what a lot of other corporations are doing. Comcast, for example, keeps raising the cost of my cable package without actually giving me any extra services.
We all have the option of saying no to going to the parks. My wife and I had that conversation just this morning.
More rides?? Think about all they had to take out in order to put SWGE in. And what about everything else that has closed up?
I do agree about the cable service, etc. Just cancelled Direct TV and will rely on Netflix and my internet. TV is so not worth any price these days.
DH and I did, too and now I get to decide if I want to do a long weekend in August weeks before GE opens. Right now, I'm leaning towards no.
I was also considering a solo August trip, then have Aug 19 to Aug 20 year for the AP with 3 trips. Then renew because we will be going Sept 2020 also. Well this price increase just wiped that away. The increase itself was the cost of the airfare.
Now, I'm re-evaluating getting the AP at all!
For us, the break even was right around 9 to 10 days. Meaning 1 longer trip with 1 shorter. Then we sneak in a quick weekend, or 3-4 day trip if we find good airfare.
For the resort, we find in the last 5 or so years the AP discount on rooms is not any better then the room only public discounts. So no true savings there.
We don't do many sit-down meals, so minimal savings. Don't care for the Memory Maker pics, our own pics come out better. Don't drive. I have a Disney Chase card that I can get 10% discounts for merch, and we don't buy much, but some, so minimal savings there.
Even though some of those savings add up, this new increase negates the savings.
Our primary savings came from the savings on tickets, but is it worth it any longer?? I'm now leaning towards NO.
