More parents are taking on debt to pay for Disney vacations as prices soar
Disney's expensive prices have been a hot topic among park fans. They even caused Disney CEO Bob Iger to raise his eyebrows in disbelief.

Just to add a perspective, I wouldn't take my kids there if it was free.
But other kids do, and you don't want to show how poor you are, so you have to go. So take a loan, smile and go. /J
And fucking of course the kids can't go during summer vacation because that would cost too much so it has to be during the school year. And heaven fucking forbid they bring a bit of school work with them because "we are on vacation". Can't go to the amusement park forty minutes away because "it's not the same". Can't go to the beach ten minutes away because "the beaches in Florida are different". Can't just do a three day weekend when the kids are off school and rent a cabin because"we have to go with our friends".
Entire fucking life is cleaning up or paying for vacations. Vacations that are money pits and boring as shit.
What the hell is the point? It is just having the kids watching tablets in hotels, or melting in lines, or all the other tiny shit that sucks about flying.
I am fine. I don't need to spend thousands of dollars escaping from my life.
Thank you. I have never been to Disney world/land. Not as a kid, and won't as an adult. I'd rather stay home and play video games with my husband than go stand in a line across the country.
I mean, don't have kids, but even if I did I'd take them hiking for free at the state forest and go catch grasshoppers or something.
