Disney trip was a great time. We enjoyed Port Orleans Resort and would stay there again.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · February 2023

Well, looks like we will be making our annual trip to The House of the Mouse at the end of April.
DOLE WHIPS!!!!

JOEJOEJOE · February 2023

We got invited to Club 33 at Disneyland last weekend. Very snazzy private club in New Orleans Square.

Walt took me for almost $800 when you figure-in park admission, the Club 33 meal, parking and snacks for the two of us.

Well, I have to ask.
How was the meal? And what did you have?

Poncier · February 2023

$800 for a meal at Disneyland. Sounds about right these days Joe.
Speedy will spend $800 on Dole Whips ad Mickey pretzels alone in April.

Enjoy the trip Speedy.

We're probably heading to the Anaheim House of Mouse in August coupling it with a visit to the new Super Nintendo World at Universal Hollywood that my son the Mario Kart freak has been anticipating for a few years now.

No Pretzels for me.
Its all about the Mickey Ice Cream Bars and Dole Whips.
Actually its my bride who cant go 2-3 hours without a Dole Whip.

How ya been?

Poncier · February 2023

Status quo.

Well, lets just say I was happy to put 2022 behind me. The absolute, without a question, WORST YEAR of my life.
But I guess all I can do is move forward, think positive, and look forward to a Dole Whip.

Yeah I recall your year started off on the absolutely wrong foot. Hope things have improved.

Your Bears have the #1 overall pick in the draft, so things are looking up. What could possibly go wrong there?

Hahahahaha!!!
The Bears will completely fuck up that whole situation. You know it, I know it, and everyone who has ever watched a football game knows it.

The 4-course meal was $130.....tortellini, french onion soup, NY steak and various desserts. The meal was pretty good. They sell club-specific merch so I bought a wine glass for $35.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · February 2023

Airfare booked
Exit seats on both flights (Bonus)
Hotel Booked, staying at the Swan and Dolphin (LOVE THE LOCATION)

Next will be all our dinner reservations.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · March 2023

Not only has the airlines changed my flight times, but they actually changed my airport!!

Its all good though, guess I am flying out of Midway and not Ohare.

7 more weeks until I am in dole whip heaven.

Poncier · March 2023

Wow. Changing the airport is a bold move.
For some folks that could be a very difficult change.

Sadly, this is why my kids will probably never know what Disneyland/world is like.
I grew up about 50 minutes from Disneyland ad we would go 1-2 times a year, so it makes me a little sad. But they've priced the average family out.
Obviously club33 is not going to be part of the plan. But last time we went it was about 5 years ago and cost over $800 for 3 tickets (including 1 kid who was about 3 at the time), parking and food for the day. Lines were so long we barely got to do anything.
I don't blame them though, if I could charge that and sell out every day, I would too.

Poncier · March 2023

Yeah the pricing has become awful, especially if you do a day trip like you did. They structure it to try and get families to commit to a full vacation there with sliding scale average daily admissions when you do more days.
It took me a while to convince my wife of how the corporate running of Disney has changed them to a being all about profit, but she sees it now, yet we continue to go annually. I get outvoted 2-1 even though I fot the bill for the damn place.

Not sure where you are located but Kings Island in Cincinnati is just as exciting as Disney and no where near the cost.

I cannot fathom how people travel to Orlando to visit an amusement park. I speak from experience as we did it several times.

The last time I went we spent $1100 on Universal Studios tix and fast passes and ended up leaving at 2pm because we were all sore from riding the rides. Ridiculous.

GlowGirl · March 2023

I have been to Disneyland once, and Disney World twice. But it has been so long that last time I was there you still needed an E ticket for Space Mountain
