Too Funny (In A Tragic Way)

[Razors Edge ★]

My brother is taking the two kids to Orlando again this year, and is buying the various tickets for parks now.  He shot me his latest rant - Universal ticket for a single day for him, wife, and two kids.  BWAHAHAHA.  No food or drink (and parking?) included.  What a racket. I get why @Tizeye writes about non-theme park Orlando and FL.

They could sneak in through the fence. Besides that, I know a guy who knows a gal.

We went to Disney when I retired in 2016. We bought five day passes and it was ideal timing. Only had four grandkids at the time and I think the youngest one got in free. They have had major price increases since then and they now charge for everybody. My twin grandsons were born the next year and Disney is now priced themselves out of reach for this grandpa. That’s ok, there are lots of ways to have fun with the grandkids that are not expensive.

I just bought one day tickets for the two of us $660 Canadian! Glad we don’t have to take kids.

They don’t even give senior discounts.

Then  there is the whole goofy process ( see what I did there) you have to go through to book.

First you have to buy the tickets then picking which park and the date is a separate process.

What a Mickey Mouse operation

Isn't that the gal who has a TV show where she meets all kinds of criminals?

Article in the paper today about them revamping some of the prices and an assortment of tweaks to park timing, reservation, and parking rules.

I guess one perk of living in SoCal is easy access to the theme parks.  They used to offer discounts if you lived in certain zip codes to encourage locals but I don’t think those are offered anymore.

My daughter & SIL are annual pass holders and go to Disneyland often.  Sometimes just for the evening or will take a day off & go for 1/2 a day.

Well at least the kids tickets are $5 less!  But your relatives are big spenders getting the express pass!  Don't they want to spend their vacation waiting on line?

Lines are a thing of the past… You book time slots on an app and just show up when it’s time.  You can also order food that way too.

I don't know. It's a picture on the internet.

It will be even higher at Disney. Oh yes...and parking is $25 with no city busses or other transportation. Tou absolutely need a second mortgage to go there. Plus even Florida and annual passes went up, and people are dropping them. 

Did see where SunRail announced last was expanding with an airport to Universal line which will be its first crossing of the single line that runs from Deland/DeBary to Kissimmee/Ponciana and the fare is $1 per county, spanning 4 counties. Disney tried to get an airport line - but wanted an exclusive bypassing Universal, Sea World, and I-Drive which are naturally along the route, but failed.
