Fans Say Disney Has “Lost Its Magic”

According to a new survey, families are skipping a trip to Disney for other places.  "House of Mouse" enthusiasts are passing on a Disney vacation because the place has, "lost its magic."

According to the Washington Examiner, seventy percent of those surveyed say the rising costs for admission and the price of short-line upgrades are the main factors.  Right now, one ticket through October is going to cost you $137 a day. A Lightning Pass runs at least $15 per person a day.

Have high prices caused you to cut back on your favorite vacation destinations? What are some good money-saving tips for a trip to Disney?

It wasn't the most magical place on earth for two families. The Happiest Place on Earth took a turn for the worst. This is after two families got into a fight at the Disney World Magic Kingdom.  Things spiraled when a woman was with her family at Mickey's PhilharMagic Theater when she jumped out of line to get her phone she left on a wheelchair. When she tried to get back to her family, things got violent when another family blocked her from getting back to hers.  Witnesses say about 20 people were involved in the melee.  Once things calmed down, reports are a man was transported to a hospital with a large cut on his chin.

Look I get it. I always enjoy Disney World. But Florida is miserably hot in the summer. Being in a crowded place, with long lines, stress from trying to get everything done, and kids everywhere would make anyone a little on edge. Especially thinking about the money you're paying to be there. For that price, everyone should have a perfect experience. But that stress should never amount to a situation like this. I don't care what was said or who cut in line acting like this as a grown adult is embarrassing and absolutely unacceptable. There are countless children there who are better behaved.

In addition to the physical fighting, profanities were exchanged all while hundreds of guests looked on probably traumatized by the experience. And now three of the individuals involved are facing charges of battery. And while I haven't seen it stated, I'm sure they are all banned from Disney property for life. Was it worth it? I can't imagine it was. And neither can most people on Twitter. Below are some of their reactions to the chaotic scene of the massive fight at Disney World.
