      I’d also point out that Disney’s parks are on the pricey side. Like, they do provide a lot of nice stuff, but it’s not like they’re the only amusement park operator out there.

      googles

      A few years back, but I imagine the ratios probably roughly hold.

      https://www.businessinsider.com/cost-us-theme-parks-ranked-disney-six-flags-2018-5?op=1

      On this list of 45 amusement parks in the US ranked by cost, Disney World is #2, Disney Adventure Park is #3, Disneyland is #4, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is #5.

      If someone wants to go to an amusement park and isn’t specifically set on what Disney has on offer, there are a number of other options that are more-affordable.

      I also suspect there’s a dark pattern where the subscriber just forgets it is on autopay.

      I want to hope that the person that posted this screenshot disabled auto renewal.

      Its a luxury service in a declining economy, when everything is getting shittier and shittier and people will pay through the nose for relief. Why wouldn’t they charge more?

      This is one of my worries with a growing wealth disparity in the world.

      The average person is starting to get priced out of any luxury entertainment because there are wealthy people with unreasonable amounts of money to throw at whatever they feel like.

      There will always be rich people who can pay whatever price a company asks for.
