One of the unintended consequences of systems like Disney's is that it disincentivizes having large families. This is largely true of all aspects of the economy, but paying $40-60 per person is likely feasible for upper-class families of 4. But what about a family of 7, like mine? Fortunately, I have a well-paying job, but an additional $400 per day ($2,000 if I spring for the LLP) on top of the parking, accommodations, tickets, and food becomes difficult, if not impossible, to justify. This is the definition of a first-world problem, and it was my choice to have a large family, but it is a knock-on effect of all of these add-ons.

Large families like yours are essentially extinct amongst the middle classes, and will continue to do so unfortunately
