Having been originally turned away from the gates of Disneyland (while with my family of 7) because "my hair was too long", I always felt most satisfied after a successful joint adventure. Mt Dad raised such a ruckus that they let us all in anyway, yet it left me with distaste for those who judge people by their looks...it was clearly "Profiling" and I suspect it goes on to this day. If ya ever get a whiff, it's probably me in the car before you, lol.

Paying $125.00 for photos is bad enough, but paying $400.00 is just plain crazy. My wife and always find other couples willing to take our photos when we travel. Even in Europe last summer, we never had a problem finding someone who wouldn't run off with our camera. Paying so much money for something you can so easily do yourself is just lazy. But, in the spirit of the good o'le American way, let's just charge it and pay 24% interest for 10 years for our Disney/Cruise pics. WOW… this is why so many Americans are in financial trouble.

You don't use the Disney site properly whine and the next thing you know 75 bucks in your pocket for a FREE CD! Not bad but usually its the corporate ripping off the consumer not the other way around. So once again ignorance seems to pay off.

We picked our favorites... but the price of photos has made it impossible to get all those moments in print. I really don't see how digital photos, which are infinitely more convenient (and easy to produce) can cause an increase in picture prices, but CD's of photos inevitably cost much more than a few prints.

Wow 8-o...... The US economy must still be doing pretty ok if plenty of people can afford that. I am not poor, but this nearly qualifies as flushing your money down the drain. $125 for a bunch of pictures? Wow 8-o……
