I can’t explain why but people using “Disney” as a place really bothers me. Disneyland or Disney World, please!
Why would anyone think it’s strange for anyone to feel fascinated by a garbage truck, or any number of mundane things we take for granted? Do you all know the centuries of progress it took to get us to the point where we can even have garbage men? Do any of you have any sense of gratitude at all?
Also, to show how much we rely on them, look at those garbage collector strikes in France.
Yeah, it would be like that without them, but much worse long term.
🤔 I wonder how it’ll work in the future. Automated garbage chute system, perhaps?
Until then, garbage people definitely do deserve respect.
Like this! (at least in urban areas).
Honestly the way we do things now pisses me off ever since I watched that video. I’ve got 4 different trash containers to take care of (cardboard, organic, small plastics/metal, “other”), so when they’re full the least I should expect is that I could get rid of them down the street instead of waiting a week or two for a truck to come around!
That would require a ridiculous amount of infrastructure pretty much everywhere except New York city maybe
8k? Do they have 50 kids?
The hotel can run you 300-1000 a night, depending on which one you choose.
That’s like a couple parents and a few kids. I don’t get the appeal of spending thousands of dollars just to wait in line and be surrounded by a bunch of annoying people.
It is genuinely an experience to remember for a lifetime, because every tiny forgettable detail is meticulously designed. The staff are painstakingly always watching for anything that might ruin someone’s day and anything that can make someone’s day.
Basically, don’t judge what other people choose to spend their money on
Suppose you’re going to disney for a week as a family of 4.
6 days of tickets for 4 people is $2,400. Cheap jetblue tickets on sale might be $1000; honestly, they’re probably more. If you’re staying at a $350/night hotel room, you’re already up to $5,500.
Then, figure at least $50 in food per person per day, or $100 for the adults if you get alcohol. That’s another $1,200-1,800. And if you go to any of their fancier restaurants it’ll be a lot more. Add in a couple hundred in souvenirs and you’re there.
Of course, if you’re within road trip distance and just go to the park for two days, you could do it way cheaper.
You aren’t eating on Disney property for $50/person/day. It’s much closer to $100 even for kids.
You’d have to be budget conscious, but it’s doable if you’re not eating anywhere sit-down, don’t drink soda, and don’t get snacks. But yeah, the average person is probably spending $100+.
For example, at Hollywood studios, the oats at the star wars location are $7. A chicken club and fries for lunch at ABC commissary are $18. A pizza for dinner is $12. That’s $37; not sure what it would come to with tax.
Most people don’t live close enough to Disney for a day trip. A significant portion of that 8k is probably the other costs of the trip like airfare and hotel rooms.
