[Cadaverous Pallor]

I think it was Chernabog who posted on FB saying that this is the moment when the old Disneyland gang finally calls it quits and I think he's right. It's a shame, though I guess nothing lasts forever.

We'll all be ok without Disneyland. I'm more worried about the local low-income families who used to be able to afford to go once in a while. My family wasn't able to go more than once every 3 years or so, and when we did, my mom reminded us not to ask for any toys or treats while we were there, because she knew my dad would buy them for us, and that we really couldn't afford to be going in the first place.

I pulled up an inflation calculator. The prices they had in the 80's and 90's for day passes end up being about $50 in today's money. Apparently they think they're worth double what they used to be. With effing Legoland charging $80 I guess they have some sort of point, though at least discounts and BOGOs for Legoland are plentiful.

I guess families will still go, and will empty their bank accounts to do so, because it's Disneyland. But the APer demographic is on track to change drastically.
