I don't know, but I felt like a chump paying $50 for 5 corndogs.

We knew what it was going in and budgeted accordingly. I think if I were doing it over again I would have brought in more food.

Is Disneyland the most overrated/overpriced vacation that we all feel compelled

Yes

maxpowers

Maybe it's because I'm from SoCal, but I don't find it at all overrated or

Jezza

4/10/17 12:15pm

Because you're still at an age where you're the target demographic and too young

Non-mo Coug

Or maybe I'm from SoCal so tickets are cheaper, I always pack in my food,

NO! This cant be happening. I agree with Jezza on something. I should go shower.

Go to magic Mountain or universal instead

Slim

Both of which will have nothing for the 5 year old.

nope, my kids have great memories from there and still like it as they get older

I had never gone. Then it was my first vacation in about 5 years when I had my

I plan to take my kids to better places then a theme park

Yep, I have much better memories of camping with my family than any disneyland trip.

jaromp

4/10/17 12:21pm

so you'd go to Hawaii and stop at Disneyland on the way home?

Belboz

4/10/17 1:01pm

Overpriced. Yes. Overrated. No. But the reality is it's still crowded

SouthernBlueBlood

4/10/17 12:18pm

Overpriced and too crowded. Hmmmm....

cougfanblue

4/10/17 12:21pm

Off season is the time to go.

SouthernBlueBlood

4/10/17 12:24pm

What I'm saying is that it's not logical for it to be both overpriced and overcrowded.

cougfanblue

4/10/17 12:28pm

You're right. Good point

SouthernBlueBlood

4/10/17 12:34pm

Which is crazy to say, because it sure as hades feels overpriced.

cougfanblue

4/10/17 12:39pm

try spending 1500 per plane ticket to fly a family of 5 to Asia for a 1 1/2 week

franklyvulgar

4/10/17 12:48pm

Yeah, go ahead and try. They'll just knock you out.

Division Bell

4/10/17 12:51pm

good point

franklyvulgar

4/10/17 12:52pm

Okay, just tried.

cougfanblue

4/10/17 12:57pm

Based on the fact that it is always crowded, it is probably underpriced.

Sea Chicken

4/10/17 12:18pm

Overpriced? Yes. Overrated? No. It is an instituion. It must be visited at

PortlandBlue

Your 5 year old will remember it, and your 15 year old will enjoy it.

volleyjiver

4/10/17 12:19pm

I went when I was 5 and I barely remember it

KingDave

4/10/17 12:26pm

I don't feel compelled. That may change as my kids get older, but it's basically the worst vacation I can think of.

jaromp

4/10/17 12:20pm

I disagree. It really depends on him. I love the whole experience. You don't

SouthernBlueBlood

4/10/17 12:24pm

It's expensive, but totally worth it. Nothing like it anywhere. Well, except for

Cougarrr

4/10/17 12:23pm

If you go during crowded times, it is a waste of money.

mudpupper

4/10/17 12:29pm

We felt compelled until we added up the cost

KingDave

4/10/17 12:31pm

Yes. A lot of money to wait in line. I get why families with kids do it

IceCreamButt

4/10/17 12:32pm

I think when you still have kids at home Disneyland is cool every 3-5 years or so.

Slim

4/10/17 12:32pm

Overpriced? If you want it to be. Do you stay at a Disney hotel or a budget

frontrowcougar

4/10/17 12:33pm

You're not supposed to pack in outside food. Maybe they let it slide, though.

OneUpper

4/10/17 12:45pm

You actually can.

cougfanblue

4/10/17 12:47pm

That's for Disneyworld. I went to DL last week and this was the policy

OneUpper

4/10/17 12:49pm

Woah, interesting. I wonder why the difference?

cougfanblue

4/10/17 12:50pm

I don't know, but I felt like a chump paying $50 for 5 corndogs.

OneUpper

4/10/17 12:51pm

That's their "policy" but they don't actually care if you have food.

yballa09

4/10/17 1:00pm

But look here at the list of items not permitted in the park:

frontrowcougar

4/10/17 1:02pm

Yup. I figured that out once we got to the park. I wish they would get rid of

OneUpper

4/10/17 1:06pm

I just always disregard policies that tell me not to bring in my own food.

frontrowcougar

4/10/17 1:11pm

Skiing is actually a good comparison.

cougfanblue

4/10/17 12:46pm

Plus equipment.

I like Disneyland quite a bit. It's too expensive though.

The way to do it is to go on one of the two weeks after Thanksgiving.

No, we enjoy it

Dillinger

4/10/17 1:23pm

They keep raising the prices and people keep paying them. Therefore, hard to say it's overpriced. And also hard to say

byukirty

4/10/17 4:29pm

You don't have to go for a week. That's the biggest scam. 1 or 2 days is enough.
