If you do or don't want to spend the money, whatever. You do you. But don't be miserable, don't ruin your kids vacation, and don't bitch to the staff. We don't care that you're being cheap and we can't do anything about the prices.

I'm going to Didneyworl and Universal in Feb, and we're only planning on getting the theme drinks, and are budgetting accordingly? I mean, we're gonna be eating our hotel cause it has a kitchen, and bringing snacks into the park. It's not hard?

Either bring snacks/lunch and water bottles or just be prepared to spend a bunch of money, miserly half-measures just make everyone miserable.

If you are going to spend big bucks on a special occasion like theme parks, vacations or a music festival you migth as well pay for maximum comfort and convenience. For instance i coughed up some extra money to get in the quick-que to get into the Coloseum , Forum Romanum and the vatican when i was in Rome ( this included guided tours). I could have saved a lot of money standing in the regular lines and going without a guide but it would have been a much shittier experience. Why i would`nt want to make the most of my time in Rome since am probably never coming back? When it comes to luxuries of all kinds i go rare and big rather then often and mediocre. I am quite happy to spend stupid amounts of money in situations like that. But i`m a extreme miser on myself when it comes to many everyday expenses like food, heating and clothes. Not because i have to but because i have savings goals i want to reach. Houses ain`t cheap! Which is why i am not planning to travel abroad until maybe 2022.

Basically everything about theme parks has always felt weird and alien to me, probably because I just didn't grow up with them. Honestly, the overpriced food at least is something I have a frame of reference for, I've been to the movies. But when I hear anything about everything involved in a trip to Disneyland or something, it just sounds stressful, I don't think I'll ever understand why people do it.

You can't ride giant rollercoasters, a tilt-a-whirl, or a log flume at home. Or if it's Disneyland, you won't get to experience the parades and shows and being able to have a secret handshake with the person in the Goofy costume.

Posted in the schad thread but thought sharing it here too would be fitting https://www.sfgate.com/cars/article...ar-13796037.php "Craig Hedges was driving on the Stanford campus on Oct. 27, 2018, when a Toyota Corolla pulled out from a parking space and plowed into his 2016 Tesla Model S. Neither vehicle was moving very fast, but the Tesla sustained front fender and suspension damage and wasn't drivable. So the Burlingame resident had it towed a few days later to Chilton Auto Body in San Carlos, the nearest Tesla-approved body shop and the preferred shop of his insurer, Allstate. Nearly six months later, he says his Model S still hasn't been repaired. "When my car got in an accident, it was somewhere in the thirties to be worked on and the last time I had a conversation with someone there a few weeks ago, there was well over 130 Teslas there to get fixed," Hedges said. "Now I think if you're number 130 [in line to get fixed], it's going to be well over a year to get your car back."

Maybe they’ll learn a lesson from this. Maybe. https://twitter.com/ktlodo/status/1178041020262604801 Also one of those reactions is going straight to the Idiots on Social Media thread, because someone went “actually...“ to a person who got drugged.
