Do people on /co/ really go to amusement parks like Disney and Universal?

disney is too expensive.

>>149181381 (OP)

No. Fuck Disney

>>149181918
Poor, trans or both?

>>149181918
Ticket Prices might go down within the next year because tourism is crashing across the US due to Trump.

>>149181381 (OP)
I have had the privilege to go to the Orlando parks more times than the average person due to being a Florida Man.
I can say for certain I enjoy my time there

>>149181381 (OP)
Yeah I'm going to disney world in august

>>149181381 (OP)
I go to local amusement parks, northeast is great for them

I went years ago when that Fast Pass or whatever they called it was free. Now apparently it's an extra you have to pay for. Fuck that.

>>149183091
Me too, plus Epic Universe

>>149181381 (OP)
Yes, OP, people from /co/ go to the most popular amusement parks in America.

>>149182783
If you're not local it can be pretty pricey. I'm going next year with my wife and our fixed costs (on-site at a midrange resort and tickets) is $4118 before any discounts or deals though realistically it's not difficult to shave hundreds off your bill through various promotions if you know where to look.

>>149183366

Stay in the Queen Mary, it’s a fraction of the price and definitely more romantic.

>>149182783
Poor

>>149181381 (OP)
No,everyone on /co/ is a broke jobless neet that can never afford to go to any park.

>>149184235
Is that why they want to gangbang the princesses behind the bathrooms

>>149181381 (OP)
Used too, it's too expensive and crowded nowadays.
It kept getting worse with the passes and shit too

>>149181381 (OP)
Yes using their work discount

>>149181381 (OP)
Here's a question for you /co/?
Disney probably won't make a new park in within the next 5 to 10 years since they focused on expanding the existing parks.
But lets say they're ready by the 2030s, what should be the theme of the new park?

>>149184399
Steven Universe

>>149184399
Disney

>>149184399
There is a Disney park going up in Dubai.
A local company is licensing the brand though, Disney isn't actually building or running it.

>>149184484
Probably should have worded it better
*in Disney World

>>149183214
I am going there on a long delayed family trip in September.
We used to go to Universal almost every spring break when were kids and I have an enormous amount of Nostalgia.
Also we can afford to all stay at the Hard Rock this time instead of a Super 8.

>>149181918
Disney is just expensive enough to keep the truly poor out, which is fine by me.

>>149184399
Supposedly they are aiming to build a brand new park alongside 2 smaller ones by 2040 (lol). The theme for one them is supposedly a villains land

>>149183723
It's a fraction of the price as long as you choose the cheapest voyages in the cheapest cabins, but the cheapest voyages requires a separate return trip from London.

>>149184293
It's not that hard to work around crowds as long as you keep in mind holidays and school sessions. January after the New Years, February after Valentines, May before Memorial Day and schools start letting out, late August and early September excluding Labor Day weekend, and the first half of December are usually slow for that reason. Though May-September you're pretty much guaranteed to deal with 90+ degree temps.

I would say I’ve gotten more enjoyment from Walt Disney World than my visits to Europe, especially France.

>>149185741
It's much safer and has fewer minorities than France.

>>149185759
I love brown women though

>>149185759
lol, not even remotely true

>>149181381 (OP)
still mad they're getting rid of the muppets

>>149186001
At least they are taking over Rockin Rollercoaster, so it's less getting rid of them and more moving them.

>>149181381 (OP)
>Look up prices for Disney Land.
>Shits over like 10 bucks for food and water is like 8 bucks.
How do people afford this shit?

>>149186059
We're normal adults with jobs?

>>149186059
Disney adults have money.

>>149186001
I'm more pissed off about them getting rid of Mama Melrose's, the other table service options in Hollywood Studios suck.

>>149186496
And Mama Melrose's also sucked, so still not losing anything.

>>149186059
have you ever been to a theme park? that's just how it is. you can bring your own food and drink if you want

>>149186507
It was fine. Hollywood Studios in general is such a halfassed park that really isn't worth visiting outside 2-3 rides.

>>149186534
I went to universal once a long time ago, but my mother bought everything for me.
It's just Disney is fucking expensive, like 12 bucks for a fucking cookie?

Nicks American Dream Mall is the only one I liked because it had actual rides and wasn't 90% walking place to place in the hot sun.
Yes I am fat but my feet are quite literally not built for walking also. At least not in shoes.

I've gone to Disney in Florida 3 times before 2012 I believe. I didnt exactly hate it but I also didnt have as much fun as I was expecting. The kids had a fun time but there's way too many privileged tourists in these parks.

Not Disney but Epic Universe looks fun, I'm also probably gonna spend $200 for the lightsaber thing

>>149187104
The lightsaber is Disney.

>>149187241
Yeah my dumbass forgot to mention I'm also going to Hollywood studios

>>149181381 (OP)
I went to SeaWorld two weeks ago. Shit’s fucked with skeleton crew staffing, price gouging food and lame new coasters riddling the landscape but the old coasters are still amazing and they seem to be doing good work on animal rehab side of things despite it not being focused on as much anymore.

Last time I was at Disneyland was way back in 2010. I don't know how bad or better or worse it has gotten.

>>149187451
A lot of formal animal themed stuff is now basically total skeleton crews outside of the ones which always had significant emphasis on rescue and research like Gatorland.
Kinda hard to survive all the controversy after everyone learned how a lot of these places actually work. Even zoos have taken a massive hit

They're just too fucking expensive and stressful to go to these days. They get worse and worse on the guest experience end every year.

>>149186059
You make more than 80K a year at the very least/

I went last year when I was forced to go down to Florida for two weeks against my will and had little else to do in that area but hit the parks. It was a nice stroll down memory lane since I hadn't been there in a while and I got to ride Soarin like 12 times because everyone was in line for the new Guardians of the Galaxy thing but I can't imagine going there all the time like some people did.

>>149188723
The truth of the matter is that the overwhelmingly vast majority of people don't go all the time and the vast majority of the people who are there all the time are locals with passes. Even the most expensive local resident pass pays for itself after nine visits, the cheapest after 4 visits.

Has that HTTYD autist been spotted at Epic Universe yet?

if you want to go to disney or universalwithout paying... just watch any of the tons of theme park vloggers out there.. watch enough videos and it will be like you were there, without spending a dime and waiting in line.

>>149184555
Good for you anon, I went like three years ago, It was pretty fun.

>>149188723
How is Soarin so good, it's just dangling in front of a screen, but it's so fun.

Anyone been too Epic yet?

The Beach Club and Yacht Club hotels are garbage.

>>149190908
All disney hotels are the same shit with variations on theming besides vacation club level and cabins. Faux luxury at it’s finest.

>>149190905
Epic isn't worth it at the moment. Between the long lines and constant breakdowns your waiting like 2-3 hours for each ride, 5+ for the Harry Potter one

>>149190845
This is pathetic and sad

>>149191100
>This is pathetic and sad

so is your post

>>149191352
>No u response

Lol

>>149181381 (OP)
Probably at least once in a lifetime on average.
There was a Disney cast member who used to post AMAs.
The guy left Disney because it turned into shit. And it must be truth because a boomer friend of my father is retiring rather disappointed at how shit the people and the management has become.

>>149191743
A minimum wage worker slinging popcorn does not "leave Disney", it's just a job they quit. Stop trying to make it sound like he was some integral part of the company and that it was a difficult decision.

>>149191760
When your job is shit, leaving your job for another is easy, no matter how much you've been there. But that guy was posting for years, and the boomer is leaving after at least 15 years in the company.
If Disney management "just found" those "minimum wage" people and make stuff work, expect a drop in quality. If you consider the high or higher prices, then expect, for now, some happy investors.

I was going to go to Universal Studios Hollywood for the first time but the LA chimp-outs made my family chicken out.

>>149190972
The brain worms are taking hold. I’ve actually thought about buying a vacation club contract.

>>149191760
You worked customer service for 16 months in high school, the guy Disney took 10 years from so they had someone to sling popcorn for you and your parents actually considers it a workplace like any other and knows more about the internal politics than you do.

>>149191956
Sorry, can you try this again in English?

>>149191966
No. Good luck.

>>149191916
Sounds like your family are retards

>>149190905
My SiL us friends with one of the cast members ar Epic and she and my brother got to go to the preview.
She's a huge HP fan and she said the theming was absolutely on point.
>>149190982
Can't speak to ride times but you can only get one day at a time with an annual pass at the moment.

>>149191916
Good general advice: Never go to LA

Are you still allowed to take upskirt photos of the Disney princesses or did they remove that
