re: sorry, but Disney World is absolutely horrible.

No one is forcing you to spend your money there. If you don't like it, don't go. It's a very simple concept. Millions of other people love it. My kids and wife loves it and as long they like going I don't mind spending the money on something they get a lot of enjoyment out of it. You can't spend the money when your dead so why not do things for you and your family that creates lasting memories. Stop being a stick in the mud and live!!!

There's ways around the high cost of certain items. Disney allows you to bring pack lunches into to the parks. We do that some days and other days we spend money in the parks to enjoy some of the Disney treats. If your kids wants some Disney souvenirs, take them to the Walmart that's 10 minutes away from the park and have them pick out what they want. They have similar items in Walmart.
