Exactly. I got tired to waiting for someone to go with me to see the STAR WARS
stuff at Disneyland, so I went by myself and just for me alone to get into one
half of the property-- no California Adventure for me-- was in the hundreds of
dollars. It's absolutely nuts. With a family of four, you could easily spend a
thousand bucks on admission and food and all the other stuff that goes with a
Disneyland visit. Who has that kind of money just lying around for frivolous
things like Disneyland these days?

And after spending all that money, you have to stand there and endure all the
people who spent even *more* money cutting the lines in front of you the whole
time.
