I have friends that used to go to Disney 2-3 times a year. They did not live in Florida. They used to spend so much money to go multiple times a year.
They are now declaring bankruptcy.
Going to Disney is just keeping up with the Joneses.
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
Because it's like a way to pay to maximize your time off
Staycations are way more relaxing, but are generally forgettable - a week can go by before you know it when you're just at home
A week in a different place where you cram in as many activities and experiences in as possible creates far more memories, so it feels longer
It's like retail therapy - a way to soothe that voice in the back of your head asking "is it really worth it to sell my life away like this?"
I think you've been vacationing wrong.
