“It’s An Actual Scam At This Point”: People Are Sharing Things That Used To Be Free, But Now Cost Money

“Since COVID, Disney has doubled the cost of an entry ticket, even more on busy days, and has gotten rid of the FastPass so they can exploit the lines by charging for the same perk. We are already paying twice as much for a ticket, so why isn’t that extra $80+ per person enough to cover it for everyone? 

Maybe the wealthy can afford to tack on another $150 for a family per day without feeling it, but there are those who can ill afford it and feel pressure to pony up in order to maximize their visit. Adding insult to injury, both tickets and Genie Plus have gone up even further this year. It’s money-grabbing, exploitive, elitist, and in no way ‘magical.’ It’s shrinkflation at its saddest.”
