I really liked his rants today..he is 100% right how dare do seasonal charges and why did they have to raise the ticket prices?!
I don't know. The ticket price increase still doesn't bug me. I know disagreement with Pete's rants are futile, but it is just something that happens rain or shine that I am used to.
This dining plan thing, though, it is awful! I am glad Pete gave it the attention he did. I personally, have never used it since most of my trips are spontaneous 3-day deals. But for those families who cannot afford to go off peak, this will be a further deterrant.
I really enjoyed listening to Pete's rant this week.
It left me wondering if perhaps President Obama should invite Pete and Meg for a beer in the rose garden.
You know what? The ticket price increase doesn't really bother me either, but I think it was stupid for the exact same reason Pete said...it is the PERCEPTION of it. He is absolutely right that it got press and the only thing most people hear is the one day $79 price. I posted almost the same thing when it was announced...a family of four who is thinking of going to Disney, hears $79 a day on the news and thinks "$320 for my family for one day just to get in!" and that's that for a Disney trip. I probably got about 10 phone calls, emails or comments from family and friends about the increase. They heard it on the news or read about it on-line, they aren't Disney people and they were asking me about it and they were all shocked at the price. I had to explain about the one day ticket being very expensive and how the price goes way down for a multi-day ticket because they all thought if they went for 7 days it would cost them $560 for one ticket for one person. And that is what a lot of people were thinking as they crossed Disney off their list of possible vacations.

Too bad Pete quit drinking. That would be priceless, particularly after two or three.

Love it Jeff... I am so glad that news story has died down.... Maybe they should head to Lee Cockrel's House for a Dole Whip!!
