But why take on debt to go on expensive vacation?
I’m a parent We’re not going to Disney it’s a fuckin rip off. If you feel you’re a bad parent because you didn’t bring your kid to Disney seek therapy.
To a little kid, it’s a whole different perspective. Peer pressure is an ugly thing. Your kid can feel ashamed or insecure just because their friends goes to Disney and they’re not.
Make sure they understand that too, not just yourself.
It’s a good opportunity to teach your kid about peer pressure then, and how they don’t need to do everything their friends do.
100% agree. It’s marketed way too well to kids.
My cousin’s didn’t understand what Disney had that was different from other parks nearby, but “knew” it was some amazing perfect fun place filled with adventure. You get there and stand in line most of the time watching people with more money pass you by riding the rides.
Ffs, I went to Taiwan earlier this year for a little over a week for like $2k total, plane tickets from the US and everything (granted we stayed in some pretty sketchy hotels but it isn’t like the fancy ones were that bank-breaking). I don’t understand why people are putting their livelihoods at risk for a corporate hellscape instead of hopping to another country for a bit and seeing all the world has for us
- Traveling with children to foreign countries is a lot harder than with adults
- Entirely honestly some people have little to no desire to leave the US. I don’t think you could pay me to spend a week in east Asia, that’s just not my idea of fun.
- Disney is huge. There’s days worth of things to do, multiple parks and experiences directly marketed for kids (be that good or bad). You don’t even have to stay in the Disney ecosystem with places like legoland, universal studios and a bunch of other theme parks.
