We have nothing to do with Disney anymore. They want to throw Gay (Queer Day) in the people's face, let them do it without my money. We will never go there again.

:) - look safari - my goal in life is to try and educate those that otherwise would not be - concerning issues of today - i am a capItalist - thru and thru - i am quite the responsible capitalist I might add - based upon current trends - i am very close to throwing in the towel - moving - doing - whatever it takes to see my family thru this neo-marxist period in America - and my family will see this thru - because we are smart - and we adapt - there are many many other families not quite so 'smart' - and they will pay the price if they allow this neo-marxist regime to continue under the "tutelage" of pelosi/reid/frank/schumer/cough cough how many more? progressives whose retirement is TIED to soros et. al. ........ ....... ..........

Ms Mom, I feel exactly the same way. I said up front, I will be ok. I am a survivor and will make money one way or another because I know how. And I think a lot of people don't know how and won't know how. That makes me pretty sad. I see you are fulfilling your goal admirably Ms Mom.

We live about 70 miles away from Disneyland and I can't afford to go. It would cost us almost $400 just to get my family of 4 into the park then you have to buy food.

In 1977 my husband went to Disney World in Flordia and got a three day pass for $18 apiece.
safari to lady_c5... August 02, 2009 09:03:52

Wow that is expensive. I haven't been in a while so I didn't realize.

disney is as American as Apple Pie, better than spending money on a vacation outside the US!
lady_c5... to Marie August 04, 2009 04:48:25

I can not afford a real vacation and I have not spent money on a vacation outside of the US. The only way I got to see other countries was through the Air Force and I would not call them vacations. My last trips have not been real vacations either. I had to fly to Tenn in May of 99 for my step-dads funeral. In Feb of 01 I flew to Maine for my mother-in-law's funeral. In May of 07 I flew to Omaha for a family reunion. In Feb of 08 I drove to San Diego to bury my dad. In May of 08 I flew to Missouri to see my mother before she got to addled to remember me. 2 weeks ago my husband flew home to Maine to see his dad and then he just passed away on Sat night.

The cost to go almost anywhere with a family on vacation is expensive, and the looks in the eyes of children at Disney is priceless, if you can manage to go! At least you do not have to buy Airline Tickets!

I think I saw Disney on a list of supporters to ABC,CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC.......one of those anyway, but I know that some people are boycotting those stations and their supporters and advertisers. Could that be part of what is happening?

I hope it is. All those advertisers and tv stations that suck all over Obama deserve the tough times that are sure to come their way. Some stations are already suffering lower ratings. They either step up and start reporting the TRUTH or tehy can fail for all I care. They need to apologize to Sara Palin and her family for the many untruths they reported. They managed to twist Tina Fey comments and made it look like Palin said them.....they are a disgrace and they are banned from my home.
