- Resort fees are sadly a part of li\fe in the tourism industry. -- nm - David Jan 25, 12:09 19
  - Yup. They’re the baggage fees of hotels. -- nm - spamlet Jan 25, 12:17 4
    - which, fine whatevs. just don't exclude them from the bottom line price you're offering on your discount website -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 25, 12:20 3

        The Disneyland Hotel thing happened because he went broke building the park. Jack Wrather was the only person who saw the benefits of the hotel. - David Jan 25, 12:43

      - Sometimes, at locations where Marriott/Hilton charge a mandatory resort fee, it includes free wifi. - ty97 Jan 25, 13:18
      - Resort fee includes: locking door, key card, ceiling, right to use elevator and/or stairs -- nm - JD Jan 25, 12:14 1

I think a hidden element to this issue is that people are doing a lot of unnecessary reading between the lines - Reagen Jan 25, 10:13 17
- As an aside, I was kinda surprised to learn it only opened in 1992. Would have thought it was closer to an original attraction kinda thing. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 25, 11:52 3

    - and, it shouldn't take a large outcry for a company to change something based on racist material. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 10:44
- Independent of the racism of the source material, diversifying their storytelling in the parks is to be commended. - znufrii Jan 25, 10:18
- Also, it really does violate their fifth "key" of inclusion. It's based on a racist property. They know it. We all know it. - Dark Callisto Jan 25, 10:18 3
  - And at the risk of repeating myself, if they don’t have a beignet stand outside of the new ride they are missing an opportunity. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 10:19 2
    - Who wants wet beignets? Oh, wait, I see... -- nm - Mony Baroney Jan 25, 10:43

      - it’s a helluva drug! -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 25, 10:22
- What you said about 'finding out how things work for the first time' directly equates to the strong reaction to the concept of 'woke' for sure. -- nm - Qale Jan 25, 10:14
