My grandpa got in on the ground floor as a DVC member back in the earlier 90s where you could purchase âpointsâ to use to stay there. He wasnât a wealthy man but thought he would use his extra cash to buy them because you could then pass them down so the rest of us could use them after he was gone. Of course as soon as he died they got sold right away by others in our family because they didnât want to pay the annual dues. Iâm sure theyâre worth double from what they were sold for since Disney prices have exploded in the past 5-10 years.
I havenât been in like a decade and it will always have a fond place in my heart but it is prohibitively expensive for lots and lots of people.
Disneyland Paris is a bit over $250 for a family of 4 but youâd have to choose the date you plan to go.
So you could go to Disneyland Paris for basically the same price as Disneyworld when factoring in plane tickets. Sure it isnât a world of Disney but still pretty cool. Plus Paris!
Moved post to other LC thread.

I remember way back in 1994, the receptionist where I worked took a Disney vacation with her husband and 2 kids. $7k for a week! That always stuck with me.
I took my family about a decade later, and didnât come close to spending that much, so itâs possible to do it somewhat reasonably. Or was, anyway.

Weâre playing the points game well and getting great value on a redemption for the hotel, but park tickets are a killer. We will spend $3k just on tickets for 4 days. Iâm sure the food is outrageous if you donât plan ahead, though we plan to.
If you stay at the high end hotels, eat well and buy a bunch of shirts/hats/whatever, it would be horrifyingly easy to spend over $2k per day.

Technically you could, but you sure donât want to. Depending on where you stay you could conceivably spend a quarter of your waking hours on a bus.
Itâs actually not too bad, and DisneyWorld has some kind of food plan that lets you prepay and get a discount although @j8i3h289dn3x7 might know whether itâs a really good deal or not.
The tickets are fucking bananas though, my wife and I used to get annual passes to Disneyland starting in 2010 when they were ~$300. We went for a single day last January and the tickets were $220 each.
Iâve made fun of a lot of things related to Ohio, but I canât recall being this horrified before:
I hear it all over the place and it drives me bananas. My wife even said it recently.

I donât recall ever hearing that in my life. (lived mostly in light-pink/white, but I went to HS on the border of dark purple)
For a few years of my adult life I lived in solid purple country. Itâs like nails on a chalkboard.
We might need someone to confirm, but I think this is becoming more widespread with time. So 30+ yrs ago, it was very likely rare even in spidercrabâs neck of the woods.
I have never heard that in my life.
On the other hand, âon accidentâ is gaining ground.
Itâs grammatically incorrect.
âMy car needs to be fixedâ is a proper sentence.

Itâs not just the beauty of the Queenâs English. The phrasing also makes the meaning ambiguous. Like, the needs were fixed? Or the car needs to be fixed? Itâs a bit rude to say something that could be interpreted with opposite meanings.
