I’d also point out that Disney’s parks are on the pricey side. Like, they do provide a lot of nice stuff, but it’s not like they’re the only amusement park operator out there.

This is one of my worries with a growing wealth disparity in the world.
The average person is starting to get priced out of any luxury entertainment because there are wealthy people with unreasonable amounts of money to throw at whatever they feel like.
There will always be rich people who can pay whatever price a company asks for.

I want to hope that the person that posted this screenshot disabled auto renewal.
