Wow - $159 for a one day pass during peek season. You have a family of 4 that you want to "treat" to a day in the park and you have already spent $636 on tickets. Add parking, food and a trinket or two and you are up to $1,000 for one day.
AND that one day is at peek time, so you get to spend that $1,000 to wait in very long lines unless you successfully learn the FP+ system.
What irritates me is they consider kids over 9 as adults for everything, including food. My fussy 13 YO eats basically nothing. She is happy with a drumsticks, white rice and green beans (kids meal items). Our first day I shelled out $188 for lunch for 3 of us at the Crystal Palace. At table service restaurants, they gave her the adult menu. I always had to ask for the kids one, which they gave...but not with their normal happy Disney face.
I had a few dining packages reserved (like fantasmic). I contemplated cancelling because of this but I decided to simply lie and upon check-in told them 2 adults and 1 kid. And I don't feel bad because they still got the kid rate of $34 when she ate an uncrustable PB&J and apple slices with a glass of milk.
