Wife and I were sitting in our car and saw some lady in her car that was plastered with Disney Signature Plus Pass-holder decals on it. Tons of Disney stuff. Her windshield had a massive crack in it. So glad to see her priorities were in order. Those passes cost, on average, $1400+. This seems to be a common occurrence with members of the Cult of the Mouse - they tend to throw all of their money into all things Disney at the expense of proper money management.
Edit: Just asked my wife about it. Apparently that Plus Passport is $1500 per person (adult or child) and that’s not even the most expensive. There is a pass that works on both coasts that costs like $2300/person. At that point, you might as well just go on a nice tropical vacation and save thousands per year. Disney is so overrated - back when I went it wasn’t anything special. I had more fun at Six Flags growing up and the only place I really enjoyed was Epcot (because I’m a fucking nerd).
Well if you look at the stories they are telling these days a bunch of em depict a female lead failing her way into success, or just effortlessly obtaining it. Often reprimanding and showing up their male peers without any resistance or rebuttal.
Yeah my old boss was like that. Raging liberal woman, obsessed with Disney (she would sing at her desk), could not lead a team, extremely disorganized, did not have custody of her kid(s? -could never tell if she had 1 or 2). Last I heard, she left a pretty decently paying job to join some MLM full time while her husband worked.
I used to be a Passholder. I live 45 minutes from the parks, so I'd go every weekend. I ran the math, and before wuflu, I paid around $11 a visit. Can't disagree with you saying the parks are overrated, and Disney has definitely turned to cancer, especially in the last 3-5 years, but not everyone who's a fan of what Disney used to mean is just bad with money or a moron. For me and my wife, it was pretty cost-effective entertainment.
See the thing is you lived 45 minutes from the park. I’m assuming you also got the resident discount from being in the area.
Distance-wise, this area is nowhere near Disney. Most of these people here buy the passes but go once, maybe twice if they are lucky yearly. I’d understand if said person lived even a few hours away - but out here it’s more of a look at me I have a Disney pass I’ll use once a year! type of deal than a I’m going to get my money’s worth out of this pass. If one were to fly, they might as well set two days for travel, if they were to drive, the same. Train? It takes 2 days each way.

You're not looking close enough.
