Originally Posted By WorldDisney YES!!!! What I base that on is that I can go the entire day, from 8-12 and STILL not have done it all. What's more, even after the long day, I'm still not ready to leave. That does justify the price in my head.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'd say it depends on the day. On really crowded days when you can't get that much in, I would say no. On moderately crowded days when everything is open and all the shows are running, but the lines aren't horrible, I would say definately! But at the end of either day, I always want to stay as long and just soak in the atmosphere, so I would probably have to say yes.

Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP One day, on my budget, no. Either a multi-day park hopper or an AP or Knotts. If I had a different (i.e. larger!) budget, quite possibly. Heck, given a budget large enough I'd fly to DL Paris just for a day, or espcially DL Hong Kong for just a day!

Originally Posted By liveforvacations I would probably pay it if I had no other choice. However, I cannot imagine only being able to spend only one day at Disneyland. I wouldn't know what attractions to leave out and would feel I had to rush around which to me, would ruin my day!

Originally Posted By BriarRoseTourGuide I think that is a great deal considering the long hours the park is available and the amazing entertainment such as the fireworks and parades and atmosphere performers. It does keep the riff-raff out and pays for the 'so clean you can eat off them' streets and sidewalks and the many many characters you can meet and greet with. It is the premiere of the So Cal theme parks and the quality is worth the price. Just remember you get what you pay for.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Disneyland is the greatest park on the planet and worth flying 6000 miles for. If the only way to do it was 1 day full price admission, I'd pay it. But if they cut back on cleaning, maintenance and entertainment (like WDW and Paris) I would think twice.

Originally Posted By Mr Snappy Must be nice to have such problems. We live 2000 miles away in Kansas City (or some other huge number)and would LOVE to only worry about paying $85 per person. I have to pay airfare, rental cars, meals, hotels, and all the rest of the costs of coming to Anaheim for a trip to DL. Our week long vacations in California runs about $7000 for the 4 of us usually. We usually only do it once every other year although we have been the last 3 years in a row. Not this year though
