i used to live and work in the area and knew this guy who was your proto-typical disney adult. i got off social media several years ago, but i do remember seeing his posts when he and his partner would get whatever latest pay-to-get-exclusive-treat thing was.

the last thing i remember seeing from him was like how they got these wrist bands in the mail that let them skip ahead of any line and it was an upgrade for some kind of annual pass type of deal, so they could go every weekend and get food discounts. if you've never been, disney food markup is bananatown. like i bet a burger, fries, and drink at some kind of fast-casual place in the park is like >$35, so even if it's 50% off (i doubt it), you are still getting housed.

anyway, i could imagine him doing this if his professional-work situation had made some big strides, promotion/compensation wise and he/his partner did it in lieu of a big anniversary gift or something. but i could also see him saying, "no that's stupid", because it really does seem uniquely egregious. i mean, for one day of that, you could get two weekend nights in a swank room with a view at like the Four Seasons in lower manhattan and have $600 leftover in spending money.

but i guess, if you're staying in the Four Seasons you're less likely to have some guy pretending to be Ry-boh Klobjar from Planet Reeroo tell you that you're a real Starwars.
