I'm feeling like our trips are changing, and pretty significantly at that. Normally we do 10 nights and we've had AP's for 10 of the past 15 years. However, we've gone to Disneyworld every year since 2004, often 2 or even 3 times in one year. But that is over. Crowds, decreased park hours, decreased entertainment, parks that often feel dirty, feel like a construction zone and increases in prices for everything with discounts being hard to come by have all driven us to go less.
We used to also go to
Disneyland, almost always staying onsite. That ended 8 years ago as they priced us out of that. So no more Disneyland. Now I wonder if Disneyworld is next.
My husband and I decided to go in February. Six nights instead of our usual ten. My sil may have free tickets for us, if not at most we'll be doing two day, non hopping tickets. We obviously didn't renew our annual passes this year.
We were originally booked at CBR but $1734 for 6 nights was really hard to swallow. This is for February, off season. So yesterday I cancelled that, and we are going to Pop which is saving us about $700 for six nights. But even that is ridiculous. A value for $177 a night (includes tax) is quite frankly crazy.
We'll see when we go back. I currently have a reservation at Pop to go in November with my daughter, but I am not all that confident that trip will happen. If it does I will definitely be cutting it from its current 8 nights to probably around 4 or 5 and we'll probably do the Christmas party and a day at Epcot.
They're getting my money but not like they used to. My vacation budget is not increasing in the same inflated rate as their prices are.
