To tag on to the above, what the market will bare has become the world wide economy, not just North America.. We were at the Mouse Land about three weeks back and while waiting for the grandsons to get off a ride, started talking to another guy waiting. He told me he was from Columbia and brought his family up to WDW a couple of times a year, with winter visits ending with going from WDW to Colorado for a week on the ski slopes. He went on to comment as to how great it made his family feel to be somewhere having fun and feeling safe. In Columbia, he and his family never went anywhere without armed bodyguards, for fear of kidnapping, etc. Money didn't appear to be a major concern of his, and I didn't feel I knew him well enough to ask him what line of work he did. LOL
Visitors from other countries are a major part of the crowd on any given day at the Disney parks.
While the prices may keep some from going, the park never seems to lack for visitors. We all have to prioritize how we spend our disposable incomes. I know couples that spend more a year for cigarets than we do for the 5 annual tickets. We all have to decide how to fund our vices, be it RVs, cars, entertainments, booze, smokes, etc.
While I don't like price increases any better than any ony else, it seems to be a fact of life that it is going to happen. In the last 10 years our RV fuel costs for our Alaska trips have gone from just over $2,000 to over $5,000 for the same amount of fuel purchased. So to try and keep the overal costs about the same, we cut back on other costs involved in the trip.
