After a week at Disney I’m glad to be home. It was fun though. One thing is for sure, The Walt Disney Company got plenty of my family’s hard earned money.
With the main resort hotels fully booked and 45 minute or more wait times for the major rides, it is hard to imagine they could be struggling.
This time around we had a really great time, though. In the past, Disney has caused more family stress than it has cured. It was always unnecessary stress as well while the kids were young enough that they would have been satisfied with a simple trip to the beach rather than something as elaborate as a 6 day park hopper pass. And it doesn’t have to be a big trip to the Hawaii Islands to make them happy.
At 9 and older though they can ride most of the rides. We had a really great time. Their newest park, Blizzard Beach was probably the biggest hit. The little one even had the guts to go down the Summit Plummet, which scared the hell out of me.

The last time I was at Disney, it cost a small fortune. Suppose I am getting to old for the Mouse as waiting in line drives me nuts. You are a brave man to battle the parks with kids.
BTW, you should have called, I would have driven over and taken you guys to dinner.
Tokyo Disneyland is expecting record profits this year despite the recession as many Japanese people try to get away from the economic gloom by visiting the fantasy park… it’s not easy for a lot of people to face the reality heh.
Your daughter is so cute in the video, hahaha. She definitely looks REALLY excited lol
Oddly enough the share price of Disney is down, but as we can see their is not a shortage of people at the parks. I havent been to Disney in at least 10 years, I cannot wait to get back there some day, it still looks like alot of fun.
Went there last summer, Disney Land is like prime domain names, recession proof, it’s a niche (park theme) that is ranked #1 worldwide, so it doesn’t surprise me. Nest time don’t take a 6 day park hopper pass but 3, the rest of day you can go to Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm and other theme parks near by.
