How the Rich Do Disney

Congrats, my friends! You’ve just hit the big time! What are you going to do now that you’re rich and famous? Go to Disney, of course! But remember -- things look very different in Disney World when money is NO OBJECT!

When our children were small, our Disney experiences made us feel rich. These days, we feel like unwelcome peasants.

If I was rich, I’d consider skipping Disney World and head for Tokyo Disneyland XD

I think a “how the poor do Disney” video would be more beneficial

When I was 6 years old (so, 24 years ago) my grandparents brought the whole family (I believe there were 13 of us at the time) on a trip to Disney World. We stayed in the Grand Floridian. It was only after I started watching this channel that I realized the range of how much they had *actually* spent on that trip and how extremely generous they were. The funniest part: I, at age 6, was the oldest grandchild, so they spend all that money for a trip that only I could remember, and just barely 😅

Looking forward to 2030's DFB Video: "Only the rich do Disney"!

If you can afford to go to Disney you're doing financial well in life.

I used to spend way too much time creating these elaborate packages through the booking lol. I would add like a week at the most expensive suites and add dining plans and everything else that was addable. Never pushed the "book" or "checkout" button but it was fun to dream lol..

We are about 20 years away from Disney reserving certain “exclusive access” days when the park will be closed to anyone who does not pay $1000 to enter.

I grew up dirt poor in an immigrant family but my parents could take me to Disney very often because my uncle was an acrobat in La nouba! I am now very comfortable and the disney experience as a vip is amazing. We go very often with my kids. But I realize they will never understand how awesome it is because they never went to Disney as an immigrant child who thought it was so magical

Can't run water in the bathtub?!?! Then forget it. I'll take my vast wealth elsewhere.

[xxSydneyFox]

I don't understand why anyone would pay so much for a hotel? I literally don't go to Disney to go to a spa or golf 😂 I spend dawn to midnight in the parks, exhaust myself to the point of just passing out on the bed, having the best sleep and then repeating again!

[DisneyUpBoilerUp]

$12, 000 and they can't foot the bill for a park ticket?🤦‍♀️

[phononforce]

I thought U.S. Disneyland's were for the rich already? The only Disneyland in the World that isn't expensive, is Tokyo Disneyland. The tickets and food is way cheaper.

[shanoriya]

$120 for water?! i’m sorry did Jesus weep inside of it?

[margarets]

My family was lucky enough to be gifted with a VIP tour by a generous friend who lives in FL and is a Club 33 member, it was pure luxury!

[skoolie_life]

I’m a FL resident, and I’m glad I got my fill of Disney before it tripled in price. I used to stay at the Wilderness Lodge for $220/night and All Star Music for like $95. Got into the parks for free while my mother in law worked there, but admission tickets were like $75. It’s insane what they’re charging now. I feel bad for families with kids so want to go and can’t afford it.

I would love a full video about the Disney wedding process. I'm not getting married. I just think it would be entertaining.

I know I'm gonna get a lot of downvotes for this one but....Disney has been inflating prices at about the same rate as general cost of living. Guess what hasn't been inflating? Wages. If companies are still paying their workers exactly the same wages as they did 20 years ago, but everything else in life has gone up in price, then you can't afford the middle class lifestyle you were used to anymore. Not only is Disney more expensive, but so is your rent, your food, schooling, childcare, etc. So you have less disposable income on top of all that. Disney jacking up prices isn't the only problem, stagnant wages are the biggest contributor in why everything seems to be more expensive now.

So if I sold my home I could do some of this for 4 days. Got it.

[estherd.b.]

I don't care how exclusive these experiences are, some of these prices are literally outrageous.
