It's all about squeezing every last penny from guests, while providing less value for their dollars all the time.

I keep reading other peoples response to the latest increase in prices, along with the deminishing quality of service, and the change in the DDP. I really don't see any hope for the vast majority of Disney fanatics, they are willing to overlook almost anything to get their fix of Disney. I'm guilty of this myself, however I am starting to see a light at the end of my tunnel.

I'm going to get an AP and the DDE. But I already have money put aside for this trip, in a cd to cover more than what I THINK it will cost me. Upping the cost doesn't discourage me, but in the days when we were on a tight budget, I'd be very nervous about now.

I have gotten it for free and am doing so again this year. No dummy here. And I don't want to explain for umpteenth time why I return to WDW ... suffice to say, it has been -- and remains -- a very special place for me.

Originally Posted By danyoung I'm right there with you, Spirit - there are many, many different shapes in the world. Mine has a few more curves than some, but that's just more for TDLFAN to love!
