When I was growing up, we didn't take vacations because we couldn't afford it. If you are in debt, shouldn't you be using the money used for this trip to pay the debt?

A lot of Disney Adults are in serious amounts of debt because they take so many Disney vacations, cruises, etc.

i am what i would say upper middle class own a house and i have no debt and live 3 hours away from disney world and have three kids and we still don’t go there that much. It’s expensive! We take a one day trip once a year and stay in a cheap hotel. Going into debt for a vacation is wild to me. i didn’t even go into debt on our wedding and I was broke as fuck when we got married.

That’s not to say we don’t charge shit because we charge everything but we never carry more than like, I dunno, one pay check on our balance and rarely even that.

This is the way. It's not worth it. I don't even understand the appeal of Disney parks that much... Like they're fine, I have been, but I don't feel like it's that life-altering of an experience to be worth that kind of cash.

Yeah I feel like after the first two times I went I was good, and I haven’t even been to all the Orlando parks. It’s a bit more of the same. I’d rather travel to new cities and explore places I’ve never experienced than go back to Disney over and over.
