    I may have been over-pricing it. That price may have been for two people -- I was married at the time. But, even so, $40/person seems a bit steep....

    Not when they charge you $4-$6 for bottled drinks in the park...

    $40 may be "cheap" to get into Disney. Heck, you can take the train from Philly to AC for like $10 per trip, but that's because they want to get you there to gamble. Disney expects to make their money and the locals can get the "extras."

    You give Disney the benefit of the doubt. I learned long ago not to do that. Everything is about the money.

    I bet Mears is playing hardball because they think they can get a lot more from individual guests than whatever Disney was paying them.

    I would pay it if my luggage magically appeared in my room. It's a bit much if I'm the one dragging it around.

    We had been looking to forward to making multiple trips a year to WDW once we retired, but the way they are devaluing the experience and eliminating more and more of the perks, I think once a year will be plenty. And we may very well drive since time isn't as much of a factor any more.
    35+ trips to WDW since 1985...and it never gets old.

    But wasn't the cost to or from the airport something like $150 each way? As much as I love the look of a Minnie van, too costly for us

    Agreed! At $150 each way I would opt for a car rental for the week! However I'm wondering if they are looking at a re-vamp of these systems to something between a bus and a regular van?

    They may be hoping for that, so they can charge you to park your car.
