Wait 5-7 hours or pay £68??

[curiousgeorgie]

Going to Disney world in a few months and have a Frozen obsessed 3 year old.

Meeting Anna & Elsa has a 5-7 hour wait!! Unless we pay £68 to book a room in a Disney resort (we got a villa) for one night so we can get a fastpass!

I'm just about to do it... But our friend says its crazy and just don't see them.

WWYD??

Evalyn - I would say yes you are being incredibly sneery & I am certain that you know that. Also, you have misunderstood I think; the OP is staying in a villa in Florida & the money is for a night in the Disney resort.
OP - I think you have made the tight decision as it would ruin your holiday if you weren't able to see Elsa.

The right decision even.

I can see your point ziggie.

I suppose I feel that people should stand up to Disney I so that they don't get away with such shit.

£60 probably isn't much when added on-but OP shouldn't have to!

diddl you're absolutely right; Disney know thousands of children love Frozen, and yet they create hysteria by making a supply issue. It was the same with the Elsa dress you could buy, if I remember. There weren't enough, then greedy people sold theirs for £80-£100 a pop.

My son isn't particularly enthralled by many things, but when he takes an interest in something, he really takes an interest. It's all consuming for him. To be honest, I'm so pleased at him taking an interest and having fun, I'm guilty of buying into it all a little bit sometimes.

I reckon you've probably spent the best part of £4k at least for your holiday. Ive spent that on holidays before when I was childless and on those, I've done things like gone to posh restaurants when I could eat somewhere cheaper/in the hotel, gone to spas for the day, hired cars to tour round when there were local buses, paid to see attractions, paid for boat trips etc. Lots of the 'extras' I've done on 'big holidays' have cost in the region of £70-100, and looking back, often those 'extra' bits are the bits of the holiday that were the special memories.

It's £150 for you all, why not do something a bit more 'special' for one bit it's going to 'make' the holiday. It may well be that's the only bit of hte holiday she remembers, and at 3, what she'll remember is meeting the Frozen princesses - DS is 4 now and has just started to understand that people dressed up aren't the real things.

If you wait until DCs can "properly remember" Disney, you'll leave it until they are too grown up and it won't be magical for them. Personally, I'm trying ot work out how we could afford to go this year to EuroDisney (can't see us every affording Florida), because while it'll stick in DS's memory more if we leave it, we've only got a short time while he'll really enjoy it.
