So worth the time. She had an aweful 2-days 2-nights for thousands of dollars, and did it so you and I didn't have to lose that money to learn the hard way.

I love that she contextualizes all of this against the backdrop of Disney corporate cowardice and shortsightedness. Also, bless the friggin cast members!

Well, we are in no danger of losing money anymore, the thing went bankrupt.

No they fully thought they could get rich nerds to overspend on a cheap hotel because the CEO who was seeing the project was absolutely about maxing profits from the top percentage of park goers.
