The New York Times wrote a piece about how Disney has changed, and I thought it was worth sharing.
As a frequent visitor, I 100% agree with this assessment. I've watched them go from being a park for any and every one, at an affordable price, to being an expensive playground for the wealthy. I had noted along the way, that the company was doing everything in its power to "tip the scales" toward the affluent.
Everything is an upcharge, and you can get more if you pay more. That's not to say its not fun, its just more expensive, and you really have to temper your expectations going in.
For reference, I took my daughter back in March, and over three days, we managed to see almost every attraction we wanted, without any upcharges. Yes, it was complicated. We had to criss cross the parks, start early, and stay late, and make some changes on the fly. And yes, it seemed like it wouldn't be possible at times. But we had a ball and managed to squeeze a lot in. But in this case, I was the advantage because of my own experiences....not everyone has that. And there was definitely some amount of luck involved.
