    It's all crazy expensive. My cousin and his wife took their three kids and spent over $1000 on a one day visit. Crazy.
    Admission, lunch and dinner in the park, plus souvenirs for the kids.

    Well, for the 5 of them they were looking at nearly $500 just to get through the doors. Then figure $100+ per meal and probably around $100+ per kid in souvenirs, even though it was cheap-to-make stuff like shirts, hats, and mugs.

    I went to Disneyland with my parents as a kid in the 80's, once. When my mom suggested we should have lunch, my dad said "we came here to have fun, not to eat". Hungriest place on earth...

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I too went to Disneyland in the late 80's. I remember small world and the teacups. That's it. I was probably 8 or 9. I don't know how much it cost but there were 5 of us; 2 adults and 3 kids. I was the oldest child and I don't remember squat about it. I think at that age, it becomes more fun for the parent from a reactionary standpoint; seeing kids really happy and excited. If I ever have kids, I won't take them to those particular parks until their at an age where they can appreciate it themselves and have solid memories. Plus I'll have more equity in my home for the loan I'll need to go.

    Went to Disney Tokyo because my wife and her friends wanted to go. Talk about creepiest place on earth. Disney scares the hell out of me. And I'm not kidding.

    The only reason I'd go to Disney is for epcot, but I imagine drinks are at least $15 if a coke is $10, so I guess I wouldn't go there :laugh:

    If I want to drink in a fake country setting, I'll just drive an hour to Hofbrauhaus and spend $9 on a litre of bier.

    I spent almost a 1 grand on anual passes for me n my gf and will never return, i used to go alot as a kid who grew up 45 miles from the parks. And all of the rides i loved as a kid have either been altered or removed completely, for new gay shit.
