It is not just Disney, vacations in general for a family are very expensive but a lot of people are doing them. Granted some of thwm prolly have the money but I bet most don't but they do it.
I don't understand why people obsess over vacations so much. Such a weird "consumer" behaviour
Maybe in this case where the "vacation" is just going to Disney and buying Disney themed stuff, but do you really not get the idea of a vacation in general?
I feel like (based on my experiences and talking to other people) is vacations are more for new experiences, new food, new cultures, new people. Not just "consumer behaviors".
My position is that tourism is cancer especially the modern version where you have idiots going to tourism traps to experience
Which is literally just "consumer behaviors"
Most historic urban cores are fucking gutten from obnoxious behaviour and these places unlivable and devoid of any culture beyond architectural style.
Alternative are cruises and resorts... Which are prolly less damaging to the cities... But what fucking culture is there
Agreed. People claim flying halfway across the planet exposes them to "different cultures" , but then do the most homegenized, Westernized touristy activities. I can learn more about a country and it's culture in a single day via Wikipedia and documentaries than most tourists will gain on their "vacation" in same country.
Eat pray love is what they are going for...
Hard rock cafe is where they end up
Haha
Then they make travel their personality on online dating apps!
