It’s one heck of a lot of loot though isn’t it. I knock Disney for their greed but I do hand it to them they have had a great year with their films.

That reminds me I need a Grandchild to stay so we can go and see the Lion King

Years ago when I worked on the railways we weren't allowed hand written notices. HQ would send a word document that we printed on A4 paper and then put that into a scanner that upscaled it and printed on a poster sized sheet. Much neater, looked professional and took less than 5 minutes to produce.

Seems the obvious solution to this, is to create Disney MDE Fast Pass. Front of Line access to the Magical Express for the bargain price of $30 a head off peak, £50 a head peak time. I mean they do their best to rinse the pockets of most tourists !

Of course we could have paid for an Uber direct but why should we? I expect better service as we have already paid for it.
Yeah agreed - it narks me when a service provider says something is free or complimentary - you are paying for everything and should expect a level of service from it.

You are talking rubbish. Disney as a service provider have a responsibility to look after its guests. If they fail to do so, then you have your travel insurance to fall back on. There is no issue.

The default position of some people on here is only the wealthy should go to the USA, and its such a nonsense.

Everyone should consider carrying a credit card with a good limit to cover off gaps as travel insurance sometimes won't pay up front and you need to cover costs which you can reclaim. But if you get sick on holiday then you can pretty much reclaim all the costs - including taxis.

Such rubbish being said and I hope it doesn't put people off considering going.
I get asked about money by the immigration officer each time.
