It’s weird to just skip out on a family vacation and leave your wife and kids alone just because you don’t like the destination. It has nothing to do with Disney.

No. Businesses can't do what they want. We learned this lesson with company currency, company stores, and villages.

I've never been to Disneyland or World and I feel like I haven't missed a thing... Kinda glad after hearing horror stories about it through friends, but some love it and that is their vacation each and every year.

1. I lived in Orlando for 15 years, including my kids' 1st 5 years, which they'd go to Disneyword almost weekly.
2. My wife's parents are retired and have a 2nd home in Orlando, so she wasn't "alone."
3. I already had plans to go to Vegas, and she decided she wanted to take the kids back "home," and tried to get me to go, but I did not want to. This was not a family vacation, it was more of a spur of the moment have the week off so let's take the kids back home to see the grandparents/go and go to DW while we're there because we still get them annual passes to DW despite living in TX, such horrible parents we are!!!
You guys just have this DisneyWorld/family vacation thing in your head where my wife just had to go on a "family vacation" all by herself in this unknown city with just her and 2 kids, and that clearly wasn't the case.
Oh, and I guess I can add that my kids who now live in Texas were also at DisneyWorld for a week this past Christmas and an entire month last summer, so there's that too.

You're a good parent, unlike that terrible parent who took his kids only once!
I didn't go with mine. I don't like it. She has been there probably 70-80 days, at a minimum.

I didn't go as a kid either. The first time I ever walked into DisneyWorld was about 7 in the morning before the park opened at 17 years old for my first shite to work there. I definitely never got the DW experience as a kid.

I had Astro World

In 1 year after the price hikes, the employees won't be able to afford a trip to Disneyworld and they'll demand more money. Never ending cycle.

But yea, that was my general reason for not going as well. My kids have visited so much, I don't need to be there every time they go. It's not like the normal one time event where the family goes to DW with their kids, quite the opposite.

Don’t apply what other people have said to what I’ve said.
I couldn’t give a frick less if you want to take your kid to Disney or not.
You made it seem like your wife was planning a trip (that happened to be Disney) and you said, frick it, I’m going to Vegas.
Your first post about it makes it sound like exactly this. How in the hell am I supposed to guess you used to live there, have family there, planned Vegas before, etc?

My wife goes with her family members on all girls trips. They have done as many as 4 generations at a time.
She also has a friend with 2 girls. They will all go next week. My daughter and her friends will go on the weekends and spend about 10 hours out there occasionally. None of them are Disney deprived.

You deserve a Debbie Downer picture right about now.

What do jokes have to do with anything?
If that’s a joke, you have an accountant’s sense of humor.

I really don't feel like having to post a Debbie Downer pic from my phone, but i may be forced to do so at this point.

Granted, I know the College Program isn't remotely about making money, but why not just go work seasonally not part of the program, and make $5/hour more?
I think Disney helps out with dorms and meals for college program participants, where regular seasonal employees wouldnt get that

They help facilitate the apartment/roommate situation, but still gotta pay full rent, and you're also assigned 3 random roomates also doing the program. Obviously if you're by yourself, that's the best option. But if you have someone or multiple people with you, it just seems like working season instead of the College Program is the better play, even if the pay is the same.

It was mildly funny, at worst, given the context.

Prices on everything have gone way up, so guess what, that $12 is just like making $8 when you go to spend it.
Im really gonna need to see evidence that everything including rent has gone up on average 50% to believe this
