Hi again. So my twin sister has been off on an LDS mission for the past 17 months and will be returning home here shortly! Ah, I'm so excited. I was just flipping though some photos of our last adventure before she left.
We decided to go visit a mutual friend who lives in Maryland and got the crazy idea to road trip from Fruitland, Maryland to Disneyworld in one day. She told me it was only a 7-10 hour drive depending on the traffic. I believed her but as it turns out it was a 17 hour drive. I thought I was going to die from how people drive over there.
After a long day of driving we hit the parks. We went to a couple of Disney parks and Universal Studios over a 5 day span. It was during the heat of May, so I witnessed a lot of meltdown due to the heat side effects. We were all literally melting in this heat. A bottle of Dasani water was $5 and the drinking fountain water was disgusting. My sister did some research before hand and decided to bring some water flavoring packets to offset the taste. That was a mistake, so we were inclined to buy the water bottles.
There was a point when it was so hot that one of my friends could not handle the heat anymore, and decided to buy one of those water bottle misting fans.
Guys, Disney was selling this water bottle misting fan for $18-19.
There are forums and blogs about how expensive Disney is getting. A year or two ago, Disney announced that they would raise there prices to over $100 for an adult ticket. And yet people are still buying tickets and taking family vacations there
.
Disney is one of the top companies in the world, and rightfully so. They have developed an experience that is nothing like you'll ever get anywhere else. With that being said, I feel that people are so infatuated with the brand and they are willing to pay anything with Disney involved, including during there time there. That is the ultimate goal of any company. Disney has developed the story of being the happiest place on earth.
