Comment on Disney and the Decline of America’s Middle Class

Disney got more and more crowded, until it was nearly impossible to get around. Lines were extremely long. Guest experience was getting dismal.
So they started raising their prices dramatically, with the result of reducing the middle class crowds, while increasing guest experience for wealthier guests.

What’s the problem, lines too long? Just buy one of their ride skipping options. The lowest level is only $15-25 extra per ride, but the top tier program is significantly more.
The most desirable guests can buy line cutting privileges, of course. If one of you lowlifes who are spending your retirement savings on this once-in-a-lifetime vacation (because you can’t afford another one) want to go on a ride, you can just wait in the Florida sun for 90 minutes, and if YOU try cutting the line without paying the Mouse for the privilege, you’re kicked out of the park without a refund of your expensive daily ticket.
It’s the Happiest Place on Earth.
