Sounds like a bummer, right?
And this dad knew exactly what he was avoiding.
Heres why hes not the least bit upset to be staying behind.
In fact, 37.1% of Americans say theyve been there at least once.
(In case youre wondering, the Las Vegas Strip takes second place.)
As a result, a whopping 60% of respondents agreed that Disney World costs more than its worth.
Other top rip-offs, for context, included college textbooks, credit score services, and movie theater snacks.
On a state level, people also pointed fingers at ski resorts, state fairs, andtheme parksin general.
So… is it fair to put Disney in the number one spot?
Well, that might depend on your perspective (and your wallet).
Lets break down some numbers.
But thats just the beginning.
Multiply that by a family of four, and its easy to see how things can snowball.
Whats more, prices have climbed significantlyover the past decade.
In 2014, a base adult ticket cost $90, with the highest price being $99.
Thats a 32.22% increase for the cheapest ticket and a whopping 90.91% increase for the highest-priced one.
So, was that dad smart for staying home, avoiding the crowds, and saving hundreds of dollars?
Its hard to argue with the logic.
But as for how it was handledwell let you be the judge.
