The magic seems to be gone. According to the report, the cost of visiting many Disney theme parks has increased more than the average American family can afford.
According to Fox Business Network, families have found that the cost of visiting Walt Disney World, for example, exceeds ten thousand dollars, making travel too expensive even for middle-class families.
While some Disney parks continue to show high levels of customer satisfaction, FBN added that many of the most recent customer reviews are starting to turn sour as Disney cuts many services that were previously free (or cheap) and prices generally soar.
People enter Disneyland Park when it reopens for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to close the park in Anaheim, California on April 30, 2021 last year. California has experienced some of the highest infection rates in the country during the winter months, but these are already among the lowest. For example, Los Angeles County is currently expected to transition from the orange tier of the state’s COVID-19-based reopening system to the least strict yellow tier, providing more reopening freedoms early next week.

For example, visitors were shocked to learn that the free trams and buses at Disney Park were removed, forcing families to hire an Uber or take a taxi to get to the park from the airport.
Worse, visitors were surprised to discover this year that Disney hotels are now charging guests up to $25 a day to park their cars in parking lots — and up to $50 for “premium seats.” Guests. . Until recently, guests were allowed to park their cars for free in the hotel car parks if they were staying at the hotel.
One-day tickets also have a sliding scale. On busy days, a one-day ticket can cost from $447.70 to $596.74.
Fox Business calculates the cost of a family of four in New Jersey and finds that a five-day family trip costs more than $10,000. The family spent $200 on a transfer from the airport to the hotel (previously it was free), $2,550 for a five-day park ticket, $3,780 for four nights at a Disney hotel, and $300 for a hop on. $1,650 for -line pass and park food. This costs about $8,500, but not including a few thousand in that fee. In total, they exceeded $10,000 per week.
“I feel like Disney is overcharging people, is that really the case in the average working American family?” The Fox Business Network family told the mother. “I’ve been going to Disney since I was six. I’m 39 now. My kids thought Disney was mysterious and so it was worth the price for me but I can see it wasn’t Disney back then.”
Disney parks expert Jason Cochran, editor-in-chief of travel website Frommer’s, said that sentiment is wrong. Disney has not only increased prices, but also reduced entertainment and services at its parks.
Cochran said Disney has made it clear that it wants to appeal to high-end customers and move away from middle-class families. “To do this, the company has taken several measures to maximize daily revenue while simultaneously increasing the value of visitor reach,” Cochran said. Said.
Cochran added that Disney has unfairly used its reputation as a magical place for families who can’t afford the experience. It encourages families to save early, but fears that too many people will put a large portion of their spending on credit cards due to price increases.
There are many middle and working families, working families who will continue to spend this money because they want to give it to their children,” he said. “I think Disney is using that to their advantage.”
It all came with the failure of Disney’s political campaign to end Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, which bans preschoolers from exposure to gender identity policies in the classroom through the third grade.
Despite losing the first political battle, CEO Bob Chapek and Disney have vowed to continue fighting to repeal the law.

Last month, Governor DeSantis signed into law a bill repealing special provisions of Disney’s tax jurisdiction and repealing the company’s decades of tax breaks and exemptions in the mid-1960s.

The snowballing political and now economic recession in many areas has caused Disney’s stock to collapse, contributing to the company’s 30 percent unpaid crash in the past 12 months. And as of April 20, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reported that Disney stock was the worst for the year.
