Ever since I was little, I've been a die-hard Disney fan - in fact, most of my T-shirts, hats, and sweatshirts have Mickey on them. I've been to Disney World in Florida more than 20 times and to Disneyland in California more than 10 times. Every time is better than the next, and it's all worth every penny. That's even as the cost of visiting Disney parks has increased over the years, thanks to factors including inflation, rising labor costs, and changes to its pricing approach.
