I've actually been to the ticket counter at DisneyWorld. It was my dad, my paternal grandparents and myself. I remember it was a jaw drop moment before we turned around and ended up at Bush Gardens instead. I cannot quite recall if price or something else. If price, who doesn't research these things? I really loved the Gardens in lieu of. I digress.
I've had several things more as it relates to my feelings towards both my parents as I am in the midst of parenting. Some headscratching, others purely WT*bleep*? Or the expressions, Really?! And, Seriously?!
All these years, I've not really had any deep desire for Dinsney. A great deal of many other places and adventures I find enormously more interesting and enjoyable.
It's great that you can and are sending your daughter on this trip!
