I will never take my kid to a Disney park if it means spending 75% of the time standing in line and watching the rich walk past us for their 12th five minute wait attraction. The inequity is repulsive and damages the brand.

This is also my biggest hang up with Galaxy’s Edge and the Starcruiser (rip): they shoved the unaffordable things into the stuff I could afford, constantly reminding me of this disparity.

For me, The Halcyon's uniqueness justified its cost, and I always had the sense that I could eventually make it work for *me* or me and my wife, but I deeply resented that it would forever be out of range for my family to enjoy it, especially in conjunction with a broader Orlando trip. No way.

The cost did seem justifiable, between the staffing and the tech, but having it thrown in my face as blatant advertising of something I can't do, over and over, it was ugh! In a small degree, it's like having to walk through first class to get to your cramped uncomfortable seat on a long plane ride.

That's a great way to put it.

I'll be honest, though, while I'll celebrate my friends going to GE or Starcruiser, I don't think I've ever walked through first class and thought, "GOOD FOR THEM. GREAT. SO HAPPY."
